I am being serious the moods have been way more difficult to deal with probably because I’ve had no psychosis in 6. Years but still. I guess though everyone feels different.
I would like more definition on the “moods”.
And with or without “meds”?
Hmm. Well for psychosis I’ve. Been on meds for 6 years but 3 days ago I was put on mood stabilisers
How’s the last 3 days been for you?
My girlfriend has anxiety and depression and she went off her meds like 3 weeks ago and she seems happier, but I have noticed a lot lately that I can see it in her mood and all around energy “vibes” when it gets the best of her. We also use THC for medicine together. Which seems to help us out a lot on the mood side of things.
I do not take ANYTHING for ANY of my “disorders”.
Being in a ■■■■ mood or having little control over mood regulation is horrible.
Insight doesn’t help at all if it is pathological.
I hope the mood stabiliser kicks in soon for you

I’d say very exhausting but it’s ok I guess that’s expected.
@anon80629714 do you self medicate with anything not from the “doctors”?
No I don’t do drugs or self medicate.

I was mood cycling, up and down all day yesterday - irritable, angry, sad, etc…
The ups and down are very tough to deal with, yes, but so is the increased paranoia - possibly a SZ symptom

I’ve been having mood swings since coming off benzos. I’m pretty sure it’s benzo withdrawal and temporary. Anybody who has to deal with that permanently and can handle it has my respect.
@Wave What are you feeling/thinking when the paranoia starts? Like are they all just looking at you or are you hearing them say things that are not about you?
@anon80629714 I agree 100%, I guess it is different for everyone.
@everhopeful I have never let the drugs take a hold of my brain. I always stay ahead of the drugs. I can and have numerous times cold turkey things. Even food. lol 14 day water only fast.
Can you up the Tegretol , or does it just take a while to build up?
Your not supposed to increase the dose too frequently - 800mg is really the target dose.
Tegretol takes some time to build up in your system
my target is supposed to be 200 morning and 200 evening. right now this week i’m taking 200 evening and i’m burned out.
thats a normal starting dose @anon80629714 - this just might be your target dose, everyone is different

Maybe the meds are telling my body to relax.
