Wtf. I had a 3 month relapse which is way longer than usual for me.
I felt well finally 3 days ago and was so happy.
I’m still semi happy and recovering but I can barely move. Feels like my body and brain are mashed potatoes. I usually have much shorter relapses so don’t get these symptoms after.
Is this normal? How long does it usually last? I don’t even want to read a book or watch a movie because that takes brain power! Just completely emptied out. Hope people can relate although it’s awful.
3 months is a lot.
Even a one-week episode takes its toll on me. I get post-psychotic depression and my ability to focus is severely disturbed for a while.
But physical exhaustion, not really. I’m still able to do stuff that doesn’t require much cognitive prowess, able to walk, take baths, heck even chop wood.
Yikes kinda scary to read.
I’m in relapse risk currently as well.
I’m switching antipsychotics, due to insurance issues had to withdrawal off the quetiapine pretty quickly
I’m really hoping this new medication sticks, I’m sick of switching around trying to find one that works good for me.
But, as you originally said, not sure how long mine last, I wanna say a month max? 3 months sounds pretty long yeah
Do you know what caused your relapse?
Thanks guys, yeah it started as a normal relapse that would be over in a week but never stopped. I didn’t have to go into hospital due to outside support. I don’t know why it went for 3 months! It was terrifying.
After my 1 week episodes I get 2 days of depression and then on the mend. So this is uncharted territory.
Oh man, I hope your med switch goes well! 
if the seroquel isn’t helping you may as well try something else. I have my fingers crossed for you and seriously respect your bravery to give it a go.
My doc just upped the doses of my APs, one of which is seroquel. Then I got akathisia annd reduced one of them and eventually the episode just burnt itself out. I legit am so so tired. But at least it’s recovery.
Thanks very much pamito, idk why but after reading your response you sound like you are handling it very well.
Hopefully you can be on the up and up now! (High hopes)
Thanks dude! Likewise I hope you go on the up and up too.
