Good evening

I was treated with antipsychotics and antidepressants for six months. And then, three months ago, I felt my feet. It was like an electric shock to my legs. And now-the current, the needles, the heat waves, the dull pain in my legs. The current makes my legs shake.

Progress

Can RLS progress in 4 months after taking antipsychotics? The situation has significantly worsened in 4 months. It all started with a current in the leg. Tonight, my feet, hands, and face were on fire. Such rapid progress???

Antipsychotics

Hi I was prescribed antipsychotics 25 years ago following a breakdown. I dearly wish to stop taking them but am so fraud I will go downhill once I’ve stopped. I suffer with severe anxiety but if I relapse I could lose everything.

From NJ looking for a doctor who actually knows ADHD besides what the medication is. Most doctors suck.

They're willing to bombard you with antipsychotics, sleep medicine, mood stabilizers and more, yet ignore the ADHD. One doctor told me "you can find a doctor who will just write you a script, no problem, but you're not gonna get it from me."

Why are benzos so vilified and how do I bring this up with a new doctor without sounding like a drug seeker?

In terms of addiction, withdrawal and dependence, perhaps I am in the minority, but the absolute worst withdrawal I have experienced is from antipsychotics.

Recovery process

I guess further to the above question on psychotherapy I would like to ask: How was it for you coming of the antipsychotics?

I am in my 50's and I have had severe depression and anxiety since a very early age. I have seen many psychiatrists, psychologist, read

Through the years, I have been on every type of tricyclic,, SNRI, SSRI antidepressant and combination of a few antipsychotics. It surprised me that my colleagues haven't used genetic testing prior to trying any typical antidepressant.

When will it get better?

I have now come of the antipsychotics which is brilliant, yet I am “gifted” with the most ghastly discontinuation symptoms of headaches and insomnia, which arrive with its worries (relapse!) though getting much better then last week. Those of you who have gone through the whole phase of recovery.

The draft guideline also said that antiepileptic drugs including gabapentinoids, local anaesthetics, ketamine, corticosteroids and antipsychotics should not be offered to people to manage chronic primary pain because, again, there was little or no evidence that these treatments work but could have possible

Abilify and akathesia

I just started on a low dose of abilify and like other antipsychotics it has given me restless legs and akathesia. Since it's only been 3 days I won't know yet if it will have a positive effect on my mood but I'm wondering if anyone else has had these side effects and then had them subside.

Tardive Dyskinesia

I read online that this can happen after being on atypical antipsychotics for awhile. If I stop the Seroquel it may or may not go away, I could have this for the rest of my life. I'm actually afraid to discontinue the Seroquel as I've read the nightmare stories about trying to get off this crap.

Medication query for relapse episode

I’m really just wondering if any of you have been prescribed any other antipsychotics that didn’t increase appetite so much and how u found them? Aripiprazole perhaps? Or anything else?

Anyone on antipsychotics?

I was wondering if they help. I was supposed to start my latuda months ago. Too scared. Of course. Sometimes I question do I need the help. I'm more anxious than depressed but my mood is always. .....eh
