Anyone off medication? I have been off since over 2 weeks. I did this tapering with the help of my doctor.

My body could not take it anymore. I was on 2mg Haldol.

Well this may sound strange, but it felt like they kept me in some sort of panicked psychotic state. I can actually chill. My body is starting to recover so pretty good. What I did have was that in the beginning every sensation like sights and sounds came in really overwhelming but that faded after I got out more

I can never go off meds, I WILL relapse. I just didn’t take my clozapine for 2 days a couple weeks ago and immediately had insomnia. That alone could’ve made me start to decompensate. I need my meds to stay free.

There’s normally a honeymoon period of about a month when you come off meds. Then things go south.

I was off my meds once when I was so depressed I couldn’t be bothered (not even with my thyroid meds or blood thinners). I’ve been back on everything for years, and I’m so thankful because my life is better. It was just a matter of finding the right combination.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I started to spiral, but had insight. It became overwhelming and then I took meds. Kicked me out of it
