How fast would I become psychotic if I quit my meds

Well I believe the workers here should notice me acting weirldy

Fair point, but I don’t suffer from paranoia or show any hostility and I always make a point of being polite to doctors, social workers and nurses. In the end it’s the antisocial dimension of MI what they find most alarming.

I’m not hostile anymore

So I don’t have psychosis! Yay

I wouldn’t come off your meds without speaking to your doctor first it can make you very ill you just need to pull through for now.

i already quitted the meds

How many doses have you missed

only 1. i know it will get worse

You should start taking them again one dose is fine to miss but you shouldn’t be completely coming off them without doctors supervision it isn’t safe for you and you might regret it. I certainly regretted doing it and became very ill very quickly and was very delusional for a long time.

how quickly did u become ill?

Within 2 to 4 days and I became delusional again but worse

oh :confused: i dont want that to happen

It is not a nice feeling if your not happy with your meds maybe wait until u see ur doctor and ask for a change in meds that’s what I’m going to do I’m on the same boat I’m fighting every urge not to come off them but I know the risk so I won’t do it.

I hate the drooling and fast heartbeat

I know it is hard but will be worth it you will feel worse if you come off them trust me

I hope I wont become delusional

Then you should probably take your meds.

I don’t want to take them

Without this turning into a cyclical argument, as it is wont to do:

The side effects suck, yes.

Discuss them with a doctor. Perhaps you’ll get switched to a new med that will have less of them for you.

Or don’t take your meds and risk developing psychosis and relapsing, and then being put on something even stronger because your original meds don’t work anymore.

It seems the consensus of the forum is pretty clear, as many of us are speaking from past experience.

I’m not allowed to see a dr
