Hello
I’m wondering if anyone experienced this side effect from medication.
First time it happened when I switched from flupenthixol to quetiapine. For a few days it seemed to work fine. One day half an hour after taking it I felt a rush of anxiety coming out of nowhere. Day after I had an relapse of psychotic symptoms (in my case they are very mild and progress slowly getting worse each day without meds) so my psychiatrist switched me to 3g of flupenthixol.
After few days of feeling fine I’ve had the same thing happen but less intense. I never had this problem with flupenthixol before but I was taking lower dowes (0,5mg - 1mg), but this time I needed larger dose because the lower doses didn’t remove my psychotic symptoms.
Should I keep taking this dosage and wait till these symptoms go away on their own or should I contact my psychiarist? Actually I’m kind of scared that every medication I’ll try will have the same side effect on me.
