So now Im on 500 mg Qutiapine. My doc is on vacation for 14 days so Ill let him know when he comeback back.
I find Qutiapine far to activating for me so I`ll ask the doc for allowance to deprescripe to maybe 300 or 200 mg Qutiapine.
So my main antipsychotics is Clopixol depot and that one feels like a light pleasent cemically
lobotomy. Yes I enjoy every day on that calming relaxing State of mind on Clopixol.

Continuing the discussion from I have deprescriped 100 mg Qutiapine Yesterday:
I now realize how stupid I’ve been by posting this message. I’ve finally realize how stupid this headline I wrote was.I’ve reached a point were I cannot lower meds more.
when I started to lower 12 years ago I was on 300 mg Clopiixol weekly and 240 mg
Ziprasidone by mouth.
when I quit Ziprasidone 160 mg I build a bridge of 900 mg Seroquel.
And now I’m down to 500 mg Clopixol every 3 week and 600 mg Seroquel by mouth. The Ziprasidone is now out of the system after 2 years.
I realize now that I’m on the minimum without symptoms

You do realise at that dose of meds, your seriously at your safe limit?
Are you sure you need that much?
And for Gods Sake dont touch a drop of alcohol, or your at serious risk of sudden death. Im not kidding. It seriously dont mix with that dose of Clopixol or Quetiapine.

I’ve not had alcohol for 3 years because I cannot get drunk on my meds and I never did drugs.
I feel that this dose is the perfect fit for me. Because I’m now finally stable on a medium dose of antipsychotics.
These meds are for life and they bring stability into my life. As you could read had I lowered the dose with 50% of my meds in a timespan of 12 years. And I went from 3 to two antipsychotics at the same time where I don’t have to eat 1000 Kcalories besides. So now I can slim down the 30 pounds I gained while on antipsychotics.
My meds is quite manegable with 2 x 300 mg Qutiapine and two anticolinergic pills and LAI every 3 week.

Good to hear it. But be aware, that you don’t always have to rely on the drugs. Mindfulness and finding your own personal coping skills, may make you rely less on them.
Your probably in a constant state of “numbness” so you probably don’t care - and that’s how you cope. But challenge your voices and delusions. Question them.
Use a bit of logic. Your not psychotic all the time.

It’s hard to tell if I’m numb cause I’ve felt this way for 30 years. But I see no reason to get back to my psychosis again. Besides when your father was an alcoholic until 10 years before he died. Then you get really scared to end like that.
To say this straight I hate being nutts and I prefere getting medicated normal. I have no problems with being symptomfree and there is nothing good to say about my psychosis. I do really prefere this way of living without alcohol and nuttiness.
To those of you who prefere mindfullness medications and voices I’ll just say thats your choice and right. But I prefere a little bit of numbness and totally positive symptom freedom.
There is a place for every one.
And I don’t need what I consider bad advices.
I go my way and you go your way.
live and let live.
