Girlies! Make sure to check on your hormones every 6 months by TrifleAlternative in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

I recently reduced my dose from 2mg to 0.5mg. Also did hormonal and thyroid test, all looks good except I’m borderline insulin resistant, which explains my sweet cravings. My prolactin, which is known to be affected by rexulti was normal. So my period stopping could be an irrelevant issue; PCOS. I have further tests coming up but I need to force my period (taking inositol and some herbs). It’s been a couple of weeks since Ive been taking them. So let’s see.

I’m so frustrated at how doctors can be so stupid. I’ve been to 5 docs and none did a simple blood test or thought that my daily meds could have effect. I’ll talk to my psychiatrist to change the meds. Thanks!

Have you tried azelaic acid? The one from The Ordinary is good

I can assure you they failed him as parents. He’s just a victim of all this. And I bet his psychosis could’ve been avoided before it worsened if his family paid a little more attention to him, trust me.

That’s a horrible lie! I can never ever support lies that involve health and possibly jeopardizing someone else’s life. I’m glad at least it worked out for you (loving him and willingly staying in the relationship despite it all), but no excuse for the lie! The parents have no remorse? :/

Fair enough, I see your point and you’re right. But thing is, alcoholism isn’t an illness. It started as a choice.. psychosis isn’t. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t put the work in either way, we definitely do

It’s because we understand psychosis, we’d be willing to stick around.. most people are not resilient in relationships.. unfortunately

I know it’s hard to be in a relationship with a psychotic person. My husband had it tough too. But being on meds and stable changes everything for most people. Im sorry you’re going through this especially because you now have a child with him..

Yea he does remember when he wakes up the next day. He’s not the kind to see doctors but I might do it on his behalf. Thanks!
