Feeling alive again

I feel emotions again, I feel better, I am losing weight. My sociability has improved substantially, and most importantly, I no longer think about suicide.

Vraylar is really poison for me, it is even worse than abilify. Not only because it is more potent but also because it has more active metabolites that block dopamine.

Now my psychiatrist is going on vacation, when he comes back I will tell him to give me a low dose of a mild antipsychotic or some other alternative.

Different drugs really hit some people harder than others, that is for sure. I’m glad to hear you’re doing better, that’s great news.

Are you saying you stopped taking your medication?

Yes, but temporarily. I am thinking of asking my psychiatrist to give me an off-label dose of a mild antipsychotic, such as quetiapine, for example. Maybe then I can tolerate the treatment. I have been experiencing this since 2013. So imagine what I am experiencing.
Since 2013, I could never adapt to any antipsychotic.

Well good luck with it. It’s typical to feel better shortly after stopping your medication but it may not last.

Yeah. I feel good until I feel great (and that’s the opposite of how I’m doing).
