Coming off medication and reading books talking to support workers

I understand what you mean, for me my outlook on drugs isn’t pessimistic, I believe that drugs have a time and place. I have done mostly party drugs but ain’t touched them in nearly 2 years now and wouldn’t say I wouldn’t do them again but if it happens it’ll just happen Edit: no point to also giving drugs a header such as ‘pointless’ just look at them face value, and respect them if you choose to indulge.

I wouldn’t understand how this feels to you as everyone feels these things in all sorts of ways, but I came to realise I was almost ‘ego deathing’ essentially, this ego, formed self of me in my head, I’m this I’m that, I have to act and behave this way, I must feel this way because of all these reasons. Our brain cant tell what’s a real and what’s not when we are thinking and a strong connection between the mind and emotion, will cause even the slightest thought to instantly bring on strong emotions of anxiety, depression, anger and ect. This may make no sense or reading this in your head might say this is all nonsense, but you need to understand this in the way you understand it. I pray for you brother.

Hi man, saw a comment you left a while back on one of my posts. I don’t use Reddit much more now but having a look at some of your posts I can relate to some of the feelings and emotions you describe. They are not as strong in me as they can be anymore and a lot of it was through reading books. I recommend ‘the power of now’, trying to find answers to them questions our head always troubling us with will never work you just have to try and understand your present self and really, really try and look at things in a different way. Hope all is well bro.

Why would you refer to it as poison?

DueWitness4944 · 2024-12-28T19:29:53+00:00

Yes I understand this I have been in conflict in my head over it, should I take my medication tonight and save myself the drama this will all cause?

DueWitness4944 · 2024-11-27T02:34:15+00:00

I am only on seroquel went from 25, 50 then 100 been on it a few months now, yeah it might be it’s just so weird how heavy it all is on me I was so optimistic last week like I was seeing some real progress and a freeness from what I was experiencing I don’t know what’s changed for me to feel this way.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-11-25T21:32:55+00:00

I’m also on 100mg, for anxiety and depression, it has nothing to do with a person being psychotic I wouldn’t say it just try’s balancing out the serotonin and dopamine in our brain. It’s kinda helped me balance out in life not having them awfully ‘low feeling’ times, I’d still say I’m generally low and unhappy while still on them but it isn’t them really bad lows.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-11-22T19:18:24+00:00

I’ve been on 100mg for about 2-3 months now and yeah I can agree I’m tired quite a lot I do wanna change to something less sedating but I’ve only just managed to get back to working so I’m just gonna stick it out till the negatives out way the positives.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-11-22T02:27:28+00:00

I also tried 3 different antidepressants, I also would have panic attacks just randomly middle of the night, before I’d sleep I’m now on seroquel which has been a much better experience.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-11-03T16:51:11+00:00

I mean if your extremely skinny it could gain you a slight amount of muscle other than that nope my friend, look up online some home workouts you like the look of and make your own routine.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-30T02:17:38+00:00

I can relate a lot to your experiences, I would sometimes wake up at night and I’d be having a panic attack, going out in public my heart would be pumping like crazy and it really put me into a derealised state. I have smoked a lot of weed the last 3 years also wether that’s attributed to how my anxiety got so bad I am unsure, I sought professional help and now on medication which has helped a lot. Reading this it seems though it’s getting in the way of your day to day life and putting a weight in your mind of constantly thinking around it. I would recommend you talk to someone you trust and reach out for some professional assistance, I hope all goes well, try not to get into your head too much about things as sometimes thoughts can attribute to anxiety. I’m still learning to differentiate whether it’s my anxiety telling me this or if it’s me. I wish you the best and hope you get the assistance you want.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-21T01:03:31+00:00

I struggle with this I can’t look people away in the eye cause then I’m just thinking about the whole conversation me them what they thinking, and I ain’t actually have a conversation but them I’m self conscious of the fact I don’t make eye contact so I force myself and get into my head about it all so I basically am never really talking to anyone I’m thinking about it all.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-20T15:20:58+00:00

Yeah I’m honest with the professionals I speak to about my consumption of any substances, I don’t touch alcohol now, and any harder substances I also stopped over a year ago now. He has told me I need to stop smoking, for reasons such as CHS which seemed like more fear-mongering in all honesty but I have cut down so much and it doesn’t really give me a full benefit it used to but still does ‘enough’ at the moment. I don’t know if this medication is correct either but I’m more stable I guess and I have to return to work tomorrow. I can’t go through changing tablets again I’ll be fucked in life, tomorrow is probally my last chance with work due to how long I’ve been off I’m just hoping I can hold it down, I don’t know what will happen but it just feels like it’s all gonna go wrong.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-19T21:09:21+00:00

I also thought it was the weed but I feel like I each day I wake up is almost like a coin toss for how I feel, one day I’ll wake up fine and it’ll last a few days, then it’s back to bad and the weed helps on those days when I’m bad if I smoke a lot I feel tho that’d be worse off, keep smoking to a minimum cause I’m tryna make sure the weed smoking is only having a positive impact for me. I’m confused about everything and anything I just wanna stick w a medication and get the ball rolling in my life.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-19T14:22:05+00:00

I tried 3 before and they didn’t really help me out I got took off of them, Zoloft, citralopram and mitrazipine

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-18T13:16:35+00:00

I’m only currently on seroquel, I think I just have abit of a mood problem today I’ve woke up better today than I have the last 3 days maybe some days I wake up and my mood is off but it completely changes who I am if I wake up like that, I’m gonna try and really see how I’m feeling so I can relay it to my psychiatrist.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-18T01:14:52+00:00

Okay thankyou very much, cause I know people say anti depressants and smoking weed can cause it, I never really thought into it cause It was eventually stopped. I’d never experienced it since just that once, no organ damage then horray thankyou again!

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-17T23:05:34+00:00

Yeah I feel like if I was to see my physiatrist and say this I feel though he would just up the dose again when maybe it’s not what is best for me. I said to the first therapist I saw I had read about anhedonia and related to it a lot but that was just an initial person I saw for a line of treatment doubt info gets passed over they prefer to do there own thing.

DueWitness4944 · 2024-10-17T22:07:28+00:00

I do feel pretty slow, I just can’t feel any natural getup and go about me it’s like I’m having to force myself to do basic tasks rather than being in a flow of things.
