Back in April I decreased my Seroquel and Cogentin because of thirst from lack of access to adequate water while in the foreign countries, Israel and Egypt. Eventually and soon enough I got bottled water.
When I returned from my trip, I suffered jet lag and associated lack of sleep for which I started taking Delta 8 CBD with THC every night. All of this triggered voices, visual hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia, that lasted from mid April to about a few days ago. Three months total.
Approximately a week and a half ago, a pdoc on call ordered my risperidone to be increased from 2 mg to 4 mg, saying that the THC triggered me. The risperidone apparently took effect within a few days.
Delta 8 is THC derived from hemp, not marijuana. The problem is it’s unregulated so you don’t necessarily know what dosage and all you’re actually getting.
I personally have no problem with anyone doing what they want (I do), but since it’s so man made I don’t trust it. I guess that doesn’t make much sense all the meds I’m on. Just take care. I’m glad the meds seem to be helping.
That’s good to know that you are out of psychosis.
This brings back the memories of periods I was in bad form due to psychosis and mania. Things were very gloomy and and problem was even meds were not helping that much when I was in treatment phase. It was a physical ailment which coexisted and causing me not to work and have good life. I was alone most of the time and only time I am able to realise the benefits of medicine is recently from Feb this year. Apart from that my life was all gloomy and dark.
I said, “saying that the THC triggered me”, meaning that my pdoc said it triggered me. She did not tell me that delta 8 was not CBD. The smoke shop store did tell me it was CBD. Sorry if I was not clear.
