This is quite true. ADHD in most cases simply means a kid is gifted, understands things on different levels and needs outlets for their creativity. While they might not do well in school with general subjects, this is generally due to the fact they are bored with them so CHOOSE not to do the work…
Example (as I was diagnosed this) I often drew schematics of aircraft and designed things on my school papers, refused to write my name correctly or used another name, thus getting a lower grade. One report card with 9 D’s stated that I could get strait As if I would only do the work. So to appease my mother I decided to try it and pulled all As and few Bs.
Meanwhile at home I was completely obsessed with designing aircraft with drafting equipment (prior to computer graphics) and studying the theory of flight and how to pilot aircraft, not from childrens books but some college level books. There was no ‘attention deficit’ with that, which I was truly interested in, and spent hours at a time doing. All this between the ages of 7 - 12.
The solution was not Ritalin which I was given for the fake ADHD, but to provide schooling and training in what I was good at and interested in. This was not provided except for at home, but I had to endure 6 - 7 hours a day of boring regular school that I couldn’t stand except for the science and art classes. I did not need the math from school because I had my own unique way of doing math that worked, and often could measure by eye, or by using objects rather than numbers after seeing what I needed to see in my mind and marking objects and paper using my own math system.
Anyways, ADHD IS a fake mental illness, and in many cases it indicated a gifted individual that usually gets shut down or suppressed by the psychiatric system who believes in a lie.
To answer the topic question, yes recovery after 7 months or even 3 years of psychosis is possible, as I have done it…in may case the alleged ‘psychosis’ would have been misinterpreting and acting upon demonic spiritual phenomenon coupled with my inability to handle trauma due to no outlets to do so in a proper way… but I came out of it using positive spiritual affirmation through Jesus and shamanic practices connecting with nature including the extra-dimensional realities.
It’s not as easy as it might sound, it can be difficult but can be done…
I read that psychosis induce neurotoxicity that damages and kills brain cells. Is this possible that this is main cause of my problems? My psychosis ended year ago but my intellectual decline was progressing and stoped about 2 weeks ago and now I feel little improvement in my cognitive abilities. So I dont know if it was induced by psychosis and neurotoxicity that kills brain cells or by neurotransmitters disorder or may be something else... I read that CoQ10 can repair brain cells damaged by toxins so may be it will help me a bit. Im writing about this because despair tears me again and I want to see some light of hope again. I point out again, my psychosis was induced by too fast clozapine withdrawal, Im not schizophrenic and I dont have any symptoms of this terrible disease. I know, I can sound like I`m seeking magic fix but I believe that something may help me just a litle bit.
Edit:
I`ve found good article about this question. Relation between psychosis and neurotoxicity:
Everytime I tried to reduce my dose of Clozapine I as well experienced significant cognitive decline - which included problem talking - I even forgot how to wistle. It was impossible to come off. Some of the decline persisted even after I upped my dosage.
I don’t know for sure, but there’s hope. I actually accidentally used an herb called Bacopa Monnieri during my struggle which significantly helped with my cognition and speech. But after six months of usage, my body started rejecting it, I would vommit just by thinking of injesting half a capsule.
It’s been almost a month now since I’ve stopped. But even after stopping, the cognitive benefits I was having are still there.
I still keep 2 bottles of the herb in my shelf in case of emergency as I’m still trying to come off.
I read some time back the herb could help repair damaged neurons. Maybe it’s one of the reasons the benefits still linger today.
Clozapine may have caused some shrikage in your brain and you may wanna try some supplements that somehow help neurogenesis like egcg, fish oil etc.
But if I were you, given you have gone out of rebound psychosis - I’d let my brain heal on its own and give it more time.
Were splitting hairs really. Reemergence of psychosis , is a relapse of some kind. I think both are used interchangeably. Possibly rebound psychosis or reemergence of psychosis could be a a more possitive way of looking at things, i dont think they are clinically different though.
Edit: funny i just looked at your name , you are taking the possitive approach alright.
Yeah, Bacopa Monnieri is a good stuff, I used few month ago a tincture from it for a while and it significantly increased my mental performance, Believe me, I was really devastated and this little tincture helped me survive this hardest moment of my life… I have two bottle of his magic potion in my shelf still and Ill use it for sure. I consider to buy some extract from it because its more efficient. It looks like, Bacopa Monnieri helps restore those systems (serotonergic and cholinergic) proper functioning and that, I believe, should help me.
Thanks for your support PositivePsychia, it`s really helpful if someone wants to share with you his experiences and knowledge.
Any way, if someone know anything about restoring cholinergic and serotonergic systems proper functioning or may be something, that could help me, please, feel free to share with me your experiences and knowledge.
Voytek never had symtoms, was never schizophrenic or psychotic to begin with until he went off Clozapone. It’s withdrawal symtoms actually to be precise rather than anything, which happen to anyone regardless you were healthy or not pre-treatment.
Kinda trivial, but Psychiatrists and Pharm companies gain massively by saying you had relapse when you stop taking their meds when in fact you had withrawal symptoms from the drugs they advertise as safe.
With regards to my name, I initially thought, and still think Psychiatric drugs cause more harm than good. And it’s a lot more negative than how it plays itself in the media. But truthfully, my user name doesn’t hold any bearing to me anymore when I post here. I just post when I feel the need to
So may be my brain shrinked himself to defend against psychosis? As I mentioned, my psychosis stoped automatically without any meds and after that my mental performance begun drop. When I felt into psychosis, I was almost brilliant, Ive never been so intelligent before, but Ive got delusuions, that my body is SANSARAs way. I thought, souls of famous people from the past (Jesus, st. John, st. Augustine and even Adam and Fallen Angel and many others) successively incarnate into me. That was really amazing... ;) But consequences of this psychosis are horrible... May be my brain is still shrinked and all I have to do isstretchhim in some way... Sorry, for my not too wise post but Im really desparated to regain myself… I know, I have to be patient but there are moments when I think that I`ll not handle with this suffering anymore…
Edit:
I read couple secs ago that psychosis also shrinks a brain not only APs…
Why were you on Clozapine if you weren’t psychotic before, if you don’t mind me asking?
Also, are you taking any other meds or drugs
… Alcohol, cannabis, sleeping tablets, antihistamines, anything at all? Sometimes they.can affect your brain and make it hard to think straight. Are you feeling depressed? Depression can.cause your thoughts to slow down and your brain to feel foggy.
“Of equal concern, it appeared that brain shrinkage — thought initially to be due to the illness itself — was in fact caused by the drugs. Even when monkeys took these drugs for a period of months, their brains shrank.”
"If Whitaker was right, everything I had been doing for 20 years was wrong. Many psychiatrists have accused him of cherry-picking the data or distorting the findings of the studies. I have spent much of my time rereading the articles and studies he cites, looking for others, talking to colleagues and reading as much criticism of his work as I can find.
And what I concluded is that Whitaker is probably right."
Its a long story so Ill summarize it:
4 years ago I started to have a problem with associative thinking and psychiatrist misdiagnosed it as schizophrenia symtom and prescribed me Risperidonum at low dose. Half year later, I told him, that I think I have a depression and he prescribed me Venlectine and than I started to have suicidal thoughts and attempts and it put me into hospital. I told them (doctors in hospital) that Ive cognitive prolems and they knew that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia so they served me APs from light to Clozapine because I was instantly talking to them that Ive this cognitive problems still. After a 3 months they released me from hospital but Ive got cognitive problems still. After a year I quit this f$c%$g drug too quick and felt into psychosis. And here Im, human with broken hopes and mind.
I was in psychosis by 7 month and now, a year later, I’m still hardly devastated… But I still believe in myself and my regenerative potential. Question is, how long I’ll be so dumb? May be my entire life? May be a year? I don`t know. all I know is that I suffer so badly. I can’t stop thinking about this and it really kills me…
Im writing because I made some improvemnts in my recovery. I can rate my recovery on 80% after 2 months supplementation. There is what help me: Turmeric+Pepper (2teas+1teas daily in two doses), Fish Oil (750mg DHA daily in 3 doses), Choline 3g daily in 2 doses, Coconut Oil 20g daily in 3 doses, Lithium Orotate 5mg daily, Noopept 30mg daily in 2 doses, Tryptophan 600mg daily (before bed), 100g boilded baker's yeast daily in 2 doses, Zinc, Niacine 200-300mg daily in 2 doses. I aslo wanna try ALCAR and add vitamin C and magnesium to my recovery stack. Also spirulina with uridine can be a good addition. I also returned to reading and want to start again workouts at the gym. Thats all for now.
