Today I found out that I was on too much meds. Because I cannot pull my self together to do anything at all so I must lower my dose of qutiapine from 500 mgs to 300 mgs the next couple of days.
Are there anyone here that have similar issues.

For one week I have been on 500 mg Qutiapine ir(not prolong) with no positive symptoms and that proves that I get far to much Qutiapine so now I think that it’s time to tapper off qutiapine. I think that the 500 mg Zuclopenthixol depot every 3 week will do in regards to the positive symptoms.
I don’t believe that antipsychotics in anyways improve negative or cognitive symptoms. I think the more drugs you take the worse the outcome is in regards to negative and cognitive symptoms. That I’ve just realized tonight.

Um. Probably no because I don’t know your history but going down do it with a doc who knows you.
It’s not necessarily good that your feeling good. What you are describing is common. Whether it’s a good move going down in meds can be the problem because sometimes getting back on them takes way more meds…
Honestly. Talk to your doctor and a good one will let you play around a bit but have an idea about you as to whether your doing well doing it. If you get my drift.

I just don’t trust doctors any more because the doctor gave me a meds 21 years ago that I had huge problem to withdraw from on my own. And my doctor doesn’t even know who I am.
I’m attending the healt clinic every 3. Week to take my depot for the rest of my life. But please no more pills.
I get feeling like you cannot get motivation to do anything on the current dose of quetiapine
But please try check with your doc first before adjusting med dose
Jumping from 500mg to 300mg a day is a lot within that timeframe
There are also withdrawal symptoms

I got so much wiser today unicorn. I was convinced that I could manage on 500 mg qutiapine ir (not prolong) once a day. But well I got some minor warning signs from my illness so I surrendered to the fact that I must take 250 ir morning and evening so I stand back as the stupid one.
An apology two all of you for my stupidity. And thank you all for your support.
