I want to go off all my meds, in need of logic that I can't see

I don’t think I have schizophrenia that bad, and can cope being off of them. My psychiatrist keeps on drugging me because I feel it. I feel it in the day, and when I sleep. I want a normal mind, with normal thoughts. I don’t want anything controlling my mind to the point it changes who I am physically and mentally. If I don’t take 3 of them tonight, I’ll feel like crap, but I want the mind control gone so the fastest I get off them, the better I’ll feel. I want to be on low doses and some none at all, I don’t want to live like this. These meds really messed up my brain and I can never get that function back. I’m really irritable because of how these meds disabled me.

I’m pretty sure everyone has these thoughts, but the meds are the only thing holding us back from going insane and in a mental hospital.

Ask your psychiatrist for an anti-psychotic that is delivered via injection. There are less side effects and well, better than taking pills everyday IMHO.

I know a lot of people don’t like the invega shot. I really liked the haldol injection. Might ask your doctor if you can switch.

Klonopin can make you feel really dumb and dulled if you’re taking it every day.

Mirtazapine can make you feel really slow. I haven’t taken it since I was a teenager, but that and the weight gain were my reasons for going off it.

No matter what the problem is, you have reason to talk to your doctor about a med overhaul. Fixing your meds is a much better idea than going off of them.

She just gave me the higher dose of invega, the remeron on Friday. I just had my therapist today. Maybe Ill just stop the Klonopin for now

About mind control. Our minds are like a little kid who gets uncontrollable and must have supervision or he would be in big trouble.

How long did feeling slower with the remeron go away?

I don’t really remember much about it. I wasn’t on it long. Maybe a few weeks to a month. I took it for sleep and it didn’t work so I didn’t stay on it long.

I don’t like the feelings of control. Feeling this way isn’t better than having psychotic episodes. This is controlling me 24/7. And every time my guinea pig freaks out in his cage I’m afraid I’m going to say something wrong on this forum. I don’t want to trigger anyone

Psychosis, every time you have it for as long as you have it, will destroy your mind. It will make you dumb. Guaranteed.

I don’t understand how raising the dose helps…
Of invega
I asked today if I can be on my ap for a slight less time and then my cpn suggested raising the dose for the negative symptoms
I’m sorry you are feeling a bit off.

That’s messed up

I don’t understand either … thanks

Did I say a toddler likes being controlled? They scream and holler and have a hissy fit. But it’s dangerous for them not to have the controller.
