Is this a thing. Does anyone else do this? If I push my required dose time every so many days or even for 6 hours at min. I find it freshens things up for me. I have a renewed sense of life and happiness. I have a certain spryness about me. Anyone else do this?
Disclaimer: (pdoc approved!)
I’ve never heard of this and I don’t see how it could help.
Naw. I tried stopping Vraylar for a day or two and felt worse.
Some people quit meds when they have sex and then go back on for obvious reasons.
Did you try it yourself? I just said it does something for me. Think positive!
OK so people do it for sexual reasons
I’m happy it works for you,
I don’t think it would work for me as I’m on a monthly injection.
I’d have to skip an entire month’s worth of medication.
That makes sense. I forgot about injections.
I forget to take my meds way too often for me to be intentionally pushing back or skipping anything. 
I have learned acceptance now. I used to try messing with my meds, but it always ends up badly. Not even the doctor can. It has to stay on the max allowed. Anything less just doesn’t work for me.
The only drug where I didn’t take the highest dose was Haldol, but that stuff was really strong.
I’m stable and that is same meds, same time, Same dose. I like the regularity and the end result is decent. I know if I miss my morning pills. Effexor withdrawal is quick and not much fun but I can miss zyprexa at night if I’m out or something. Not often.
I don’t necessarily seeing it as a good thing. Most drugs are in your system for like 24 hours. Not sure what benefit you’d get but more power to you.
Yes, i do this regularly, in good times i skip meds. Sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose. I feel better off meds.
I also do the opposite. Right now i just had a rough week, with more fear and guilt, so i take more meds for a few days.
I go psychotic if i miss a single clozapine dose
Sometimes I forget to take my sertraline but I don’t do it on purpose. I’ve never heard of medication fasting either and it doesn’t seem like a good idea.
I forgot to order sertraline the other week and went a weekend without it and was feeling a bit low come the Monday.
I would also have to skip an entire months medication cause I’m on paliperidone depot. Hmmm doesn’t seem like a good idea.
I skip, but I’m finding out I relapse, then the relapse happen when I stay consistent. Not good to skip because it makes you worse in the long run. I can’t skip the injection though and that has even made me more physically healthy too not dealing with AP withdrawals, they suck
