I am fed up!

I used to be on the exact same meds besides the artane. I dunno what that is. But I went cold turkey on all of it and here I am. -_-

No withdrawal symptoms?

Not at first… But if you read my recent posts you will see the answer is yes.

I’m definitely afraid to switch medications, now. But i have these wierd side effects that make me uncomfortable around my family. I’m not sure what to do.

I wouldn’t be afraid to switch meds, what if you switch to something that helps you a lot more than what you’re currently on. I wish you the best of luck :slight_smile:

Try them all. You will eventually find one that you are comfortable with. If you are afraid of your medication, you will sabotage yourself and your treatment.

Dont be afraid @lostinthespace - Abilify is a pretty safe drug, it may work for you.
Dont settle with the side effects that you are experiencing now.
If you current psychiatrist refuses to cross taper between the 2 meds - Please find another one that will.

These symptoms from sz can be tiresome. I’m tired of my symptoms too.

I know how you feel. I feel exactly the same way. I don’t know how to get rid of the intrusive thoughts they keep recurring and I obsess over them. I really don’t feel comfortable around other people I just spend most of my time alone in my room. My parents try to encourage me to come out and mingle withe the rest of the family but I just feel better alone. I wish a cure for this illness were to be discovered
