I highly recommend against this. I can’t stress this enough: I would never want to mess with my medication because what I saw scared me. I hope you reconsider and stay on your current meds. Learn to live life with the medication. That’s what I did.

I recently changed from latuda 80mg to abilify 10mg a day. Starting to feel less tired and better overall. I feel bad though because my pdoc told me to take 15mg a day. It might be a bit awkward when i see her but I’m pretty confidant i can remain stable on 10mg.

By disabled i mean negative and cognitive symptoms they remove all my energy

That is granted but what shape would you be in without them? I hope you can come down on your AP, I take half what you do. Maybe that will be enough.

Did you get yourself on the waiting list to see a psychiatrist yet?

This is a conversation for a psychiatrist really.

Everytime i request one and wait a year to see him he closes my file after one apt and says i am stable no need for a pdoc. He can’t help me he said, he told me nothing can help my negative and cognitive symptoms only thing that helped is going off meds but then i get psychotic

I am trapped in this prison of mental illness

I allways told you to go on abilify, but you didn’t want to. You need to adress the addictions with other meds.

Thats not possible according to my pdoc. He said the only solution is to stop the Abilify. I asked for a mood stabilizer as i thought its mania but he said no.

What about door number three? There must be meds you haven’t tried yet.

Only left for me are Seroquel and Clozapine. Geodon my Dr is against it.

Well, seroquel could be worth a shot. Sedating, but not a particular heavy med. Personally I wouldn’t try clozapine unless it was absolutely necessary.

I had a speech with my parents about stopping meds, they reminded me how crazy I was and that other than grandiosity I had paranoia that I was Jesus and that the mafia was trying to kill me are following me and that my university teacher was one of them and put radioactive poison in my drinking thermos. They’re against Abilify too, they said I was crazy on it and had addictions. Illogical thoughts

I seem to only remember the good stuff off meds like more functional and more energy but forget the bad stuff like psychosis
