I hate hate hate antipsychotics. I think I want to give up forever. I was trying to research if disrupted sleep was a known side effect of rexulti because mine has been so bad lately-it’s not even 5 am yet meaning I slept for only a little over 2 hours before waking up-and I didn’t find that but what I did find is that it can cause an increase in impulsive behaviors-and guess what I’ve had serious trouble with since starting it!!
I’ve been giving into the demons, binge eating and going for fast food at random times of night, randomly drinking, it’s like I’ve had no control over myself. I’ve also been irritable and unable to deal with my family, also a commonly reported side effect!
I hate this. I want off. I’m done with antipsychotics. They’re all absolute crap quality medications that do far more harm than good in my case. They’ve done nothing but bring bad things into my life.
It’s the weirdest thing but I feel like I want to kill myself if I don’t take that stupid rexulti. I totally obsess about killing myself. The rexulti just turns that piece of my brain off. So I put up with any side effects. I didn’t know being up in the middle of the night was from the rexulti. I thought I had it even when I was off the rexulti. Hmmm. And you say you’ve been irritable with your family, is that from not getting enough sleep do you think?
I didn’t think I got any side effects at all until I started learning about them and realizing it explained a lot of weird things I’ve been experiencing lately.
I don’t know. I’ll talk it over with my doctor and see what he thinks.
