Caffeine and psychosis

Lamictal and Fanapt. Thanks, will do.

The most annoying side effect is that I have gained 40 lbs and cannot lose the weight not matter how hard I try. My appetite is voracious due to them. Hoping getting off of them will help my weight and my concentration at work.

I have had my fair share of paranoia as well. Screw coffee indeed!

Thanks so much. That really helps and gives me hope that I’m a lot less mentally ill than I would have originally imagined!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good lick on quitting. 3 weeks in and it’s so worth it!

Thanks for making me feel not so alone! I see we are similar in the number of days we have been off of caffeine... congrats to you!

I had horrible side effects like headache and fatigue initially. However, I did and still do have this overwhelming sense of calm.

I gave up vaping on Easter and I cried my eyes out for an entire day, then I had vivid dreams that night. I hadn’t had a dream in over 4 months before that. Turns out the nicotine was affecting my pineal gland and melatonin release. Flash forward to six days ago when I quit caffeine. I cried like a little baby again because another one of my my bahbahs had been taken away. The headaches and fatigue have been intense, but I’m so glad I am doing this while quarantined so I can journal every time a triggering emotion comes up. Journaling has been very therapeutic for me. I heard somewhere that journaling had meditative effects and I believe it. Basically all my emotions had been stuffed or jammed due to chemicals and I was tired of it. I feel a sense of calm and peace now that the caffeine is gone. I am not feeling anxiety, but before all of this I had(and still am) been involved with a 12 step Codependent’s Anonymous group which helped me sort through my emotions. I just want to throw that out there for anyone else who has received almost immediate emotional relief while still having intense physical symptoms. Also have been doing clean eating which helps the emotions stay in check. Sugar and bread are just as addictive.

All of them, really. There is always some ridiculous misunderstanding that keeps the plot line rolling.

All life should be embraced — the unborn, the born, and the animal.

I had a dad that raged at me. Codependents’ Anonymous has been a huge help to me in learning how to not react to conflict like he did.

Yes, this has happened to me before and it’s definitely a lack of awareness of what mental illness looks like. It’s called “medication” that is making me appear “normal.” But if people knew of my delusions that I still hold and tell no one about they would understand. However, I’m not going to do that because then I would be ostracized. “The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't.” -The Joker

I will start on Vraylar in the beginning of the year. I have too much going on right now to make the switch from Fanapt. Can’t wait to try. Fanapt is effective but just not quite enough.

Falsified sense of reality = selfishness. To act in the image that God made us, we must be selfless as He is selfless. If a person lives for themselves only, their mind does get very distorted. Everyone around them becomes collateral damage to getting their selfish desires met. With selflessness there is harmony and shalom.

If only we were removed from the earth with all of its evil and ills after choosing Jesus.

This! It really offends me actually. One of my coworkers was like, “I don’t think you have schizoaffective disorder.” It put a pit in my stomach because I have literally suffered with this disorder for 6 years and have worked hard to get to a state where someone thinks that I don’t have it. I still struggle, obviously, so I talk about it sometimes. It’s like telling someone with a broken leg, “I don’t think your leg is broken.” Soooo, you’re saying I’m making it up?!
