I want to lower my meds, maybe today I will cut my pill in half.
I have a pill cutter.
Lower in smaller increments ask your doc to give you 3 mg and .5 mg if your taking 4 mg that’s what I would do only because I had terrible withdrawals on risperidone

I think psychosis damages the brain. I am a wreck while psychotic. I can’t function on my own, don’t remember anything, and eat rarely. With medication I am semi-coherent but tired. I’m tired now and sleep a lot during the day. I work though and sleep on my down time. I feel fine but wish I was not so exhausted. Being tired is my major complaint about medication. My memory has improved on medication. My poor judgment is better also. I was exercising frequently for awhile but became tired again. I will try to resume walking again for my health when I feel more motivated. I don’t want to be psychotic anymore so I take my medication. I have been psychotic many times and don’t want to repeat this pattern of going off my medication then becoming psychotic. My brain is functioning somewhat still. The brain damage I incurred while being psychotic has taken some time to heal. If I had not resumed my medication, I would be really disabled. I could have qualified for disability, may be. That would have been an interesting experience to be on disability. Hmm, oh well, I’m working so such is life.
