Walla please be careful, you know you have to taper off a start. And it’s NOT a good idea

Don’t do that. Your success is due to the meds, not in spite of them.

Don’t do it buddy. Every time I reduce doses I end up with more and louder voices and suicidal ideation

Wow. That sounds like the precursor to every relapse I’ve had in the last fifteen years.

Indeed. I hope you don’t hurt yourself or those around you too badly.

You’ll end up having to take them again. But I wish you all the best.

Wallafish don’t drop cold turkey, you need to taper! Dropping cold turkey you will shock your body and probably will have symptoms rebound, I am against meds but dropping cold turkey is a crazy choice!

Thanks for the replies. I will taper off them slowly…

Soon I will be med free with no symptoms I’m sure of it.

I’m telling u they made a mistake with me.

I just suffer from intense social anxiety…

They got me wrong and put me of goddamn meds ffs

Walla don’t you think your business is a source of big stress for you? Remember the last time you flunk down meds? It was not so good

Doctors don’t give out diagnoses like schizophrenia easily. Maybe you do have it. I doubted mine for a while. Still sometimes ponder if mine was ‘given’ to me.

Yea dude work is a stress…

But on meds I sleep till 10 am and then only go to work…

I’m like a zombie. Running a business on meds is really difficult…

I’ve decided to stop cold Turkey.

15 mg zyprexa
150 mg lamotragine
10 mg lexapro.

You’re going to feel great for a month and then crash and burn.
I’m really worried about you. Please don’t do something stupid.

I never tried zyprexa because I heard it is very sedating. There are other meds you could try like abilify latuda rexulti etc.
