Experiences with

Antipsychotics

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.

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???

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.

Please I need some help here So 2 years ago I just woke up vomiting shaking can’t breathe crying have been hospitalised 4 times up to my 8 th different antidepressant even tryed antipsychotics which I had to stop as I put on 40 kg phychitrst says it’s panic disorder I have lost my job because of this

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."

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

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

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.

And we will be changing antipsychotics... I just.... I just miss the boringness of being stagnant right now. Does anyone else ever feel this way?? You take for granted those moments when your content?

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

I hate antipsychotics in general. Already had mdd diagnosis with the adhd and resistance to ssris(2 types) .

My son is having the hardest time transitioning without her being at the house and his behavior is severe and he is on antipsychotics and a slew of all kind of medication and has ABA therapy.

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.

For depression,So i saw my doctor last Tuesday and as i hate antipsychotics, i complained about it all the meeting, But he suggested that i try it for 2 weeks and then he will check whatever I'm complaining about and then i exited the clinic with mirtazapine 30mg and seroquel xr 200mg; both at night.

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.

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?

I have been recently prescribed olanzapine and I am aware that antipsychotics can affect the way the body metabolises fat and changes in the adipose tissue so I am really worried cause I feel some symptoms in my legs, my lipedema is in my legs and it’s something that really bothers me, I often have pain

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
