I am exhausted. Very very tired. Was supposed to wean off slowly but I stopped talking them coz I couldn’t get prescription filled.

What Happened (???)

The pdoc took 2 weeks to tell the doc to change my dosage.

Hmm ,

Slightly Confused … ,

So Didn’t You Already Have Tha Prior Prescribed meds (???)

5

No I ran out of them.

How D(Y)D That Happen (???)

I thought your pdoc was taking you off meds.

8

What (???)

fifteen…

That’s the idea I got from @anon80629714’s previous posts.

You were already on a low dose. My dose was reduced twice and every time i experienced withdrawals. They lasted from 2 weeks to 1 month. Then i was alright. Im now on invega 3 mg and when we decide with pdoc to quit meds i will go trough withdrawals again, because 3mg is the lowest dose.

If you truly want to stop meds ish and this is the path you want to go, then i suggest that you give yourself some time to withdraw. Things will get better.

Next time you are getting low on meds you might want to try a couple tricks I learned. If you want to stretch out your meds you can either take your remaining pills every other day or you can cut your remaining pills in half and just take them that way. It would be wise to check with your doctor first to see if you can do this with your particular medication.
