2 weeks ago I was off my meds and decided to drink way too much alcohol. I had a serious hangover for 2-3 days then restarted my meds. I was having really sweaty hands and feet and tremors. Now the tremors are gone but the sweaty hands and feet are still there. I take latuda 20 mg, seroquel 50 mg, and evekeo 5 mg. Anybody have any idea what this could be? I have a pdoc appt tm but I’m afraid to tell him I came off my meds and drank
I’m sorry, I don’t know what this could be. I think it’s important that you tell your pdoc though. Schizophrenics going off their meds is not at all rare. They will know how to handle it. I recently learned that it’s best to be honest if you want help. Good luck, keep us updated on how you’re doing!
Do you think he’ll be mad, or lose trust in me if I tell him? I’m worried it might not even be med related
I don’t think he’ll be mad. Worried maybe, but not mad. It’s not at all shocking for schizophrenics to go off their meds. He’ll probably know what to do.
Could be side-effects, could be anxiety. I doubt it’s withdrawals unless you drank for two weeks straight.
You’re probably right, I think I’m just gonna have to man up and tell him
Yea it’s so weird… I’ve been on the meds and haven’t drank in two weeks, yet I’m still having these symptoms
Sweaty hands is a symptom of anxiety, you know.
I know but I’ve never had this before, it’s weird
And I have a lot of anxiety
You may be drinking too much water. I used to have hyper hydrosis and its gone now
Possible, I do drink a lot of water
That’s what it is. Water in = water out. I used to gulp it down too
Was limiting your water intake what made the problem go away?
My pdoc appt is in 10 mins so I’ll keep ya updated
Yeah being honest with your pdoc is the way to go. Good luck with your appointment.
My doc pretty much has no idea. I suggested coming off my meds for a few weeks to see if the problem stops, he agreed lol
That’s really low doses of meds you are on. Not really a psychotic dose at all.
Yea I had a delusional episode a while ago but I still have no idea what my diagnosis is
Ya. Try to limit it to Luke 3 bottles max (1.5 L)
It may make your sz and depression better as well
