Magnesium l theronate is great to take with other magnesium supplements
It’s been a life changer!!!
Sorry but that’s psychological.

Perhaps you are “psychological“ about my post?

Oh I thought it was about the wellness of the sufferers?
Shouldn’t that be the model?
Yes of course
In addition to medication

If you needed the medication…
Sure
But I’ve been doing better without it so far
I will keep you updated if anything changes
The biggest obstacle is mood
And also learning to keep my stress levels down
I find a routine helps a lot with both of those

I was on it for two years. But I had allergic reaction and high prolactin. So just switched to abilify.
Invega worked so well for me. I don’t feel the aripiprazole does.

I was on 256mg
And got shot reductions over the course of two years …
Down to 78mg
Been 8 months off my 78mg ■■■■ of Invega sustenna…
I’m hoping i don’t need to take it every again…
I got terrible Parkinsonism…
Why you were even put on such a high dose on the first place? I was mostly maximum on 117mg. Why you decided to go off meds and not staying on a low dose? Have you experienced any kind delusions or paranoia?

No delusions…
Perhaps Mild hallucinations due to high stress levels…
I used to be really messed up on meth and eating terribly and drinking tap water
With horrible relationships that caused me tons of stress
And ptsd …
I used to get command delusions of this demon named Kiki who wanted me to kill my parents…
I had a psychotic break
And they put me on every medication around…
From APs to anti depressAnts,anti anxieties,adhd medication,sleeping medication
I slowly got off every one of those medications except the AP
From self work and therapy
And a healthy lifestyle that I maintain
From diet to habits through beleifs and therapy
Along with a schedule…
And I don’t stop growing and learning…
The AP took me a long while
And I was terrified about getting off of them because of my past…
But I’m not the same I used to be…
And I have a strong feeling I don’t have the same situation going for me
I’ve made a turn in my life 180•
I’m open to being on an AP if they benefited me
But so far they’ve only given me extra pyramidal side effects…
And I don’t need them anymore…
Very helpful tool
When I did need them…
I will keep everyone updated if anything changes
Maybe you had drug induced psychosis and not SZ? Because if it was SZ you would have relapsed already.

Yes perhaps…
I did however find out coming off Invega that I am autistic!
And I heard people with autism often get misdiagnosed with schizophrenia…

Did u taper off ur ap? How long was the tapering process
1 Like
I was on APs for about 13years
The tapering process took me 2 years in total
I heard the best way to stop APs is to taper off extremely SLOW…
Luckily for me
I was able to see what was under the AP
Which was my autism…
looking into talking to the regional center here soon…
