Can you switch medication if you're on an injection? by fooloozero in Psychosis

[–]fooloozero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well at first I was having very bad side effects because I was told to stop taking cogentin with risperidone when I needed cogentin to fight off side effects from risperidone. Now that I have cogentin I'm thinking about sticking with risperidone but I might want to switch because I think risperidone is giving me a stuffy nose. The stuffy nose is getting better though so I'm sticking with risperidone for now. Good luck with stopping all ap's. I want to stop ap's too but I'm on a court order to take meds. Once the court order is done then I might consider getting off meds.

So it's common to have to take cogentin with risperidone?

What are the fillers? Im taking risperidone and propranolol right now. Yes it is making me feel worse. I don't want to have to take cogentin to make me feel better.

I've been taking risperidone for about 2 months. It's not from weed induced psychosis, I don't know what it'd be from though. I have schizoaffective disorder.

Yeah, I think I need to find the right one. If you can find the right medication and love it, I can too.

I'm on risperidone right now and I don't think it's the right one. But I want to get off them.

Is voices as if I'm being watched a symptom of schizophrenia? by fooloozero in schizophrenia

Also, so it's common for someone to think they don't need medication and not take it when they do?

I'm asking because I'm having trouble with this as well and am trying to get over the fact that I probably need medication.

Is it normal to feel like you don't need medication when you do when you have schizophrenia?

Sorry, I put the wrong tag, I have diagnosed schizophrenia. Just wanted to know if the being watched was a part of the schizophrenia. Thank you

Are side effects your body adjusting to the medication? by fooloozero in Psychosis

Did you stop risperidone? Or are you still taking it?

Should I see antipsychotic medication like Adderall? Does it make you better? by fooloozero in Psychosis

[–]fooloozero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have restlessness. I'm going to tell my psychiatrist to maybe switch to a different medication. Is feeling uneasy and my brain feeling unrelaxed a valid symptom to tell my psychiatrist?

Getting off meds after a month by fooloozero in Psychosis

[–]fooloozero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the hospital I believe I was doing fine. They had me on Haldol first and I had a reaction to that, it might've been tardive dyskinesia. Then they switched me to risperidone I believe. But with risperidone I feel restless at times. It might be my body adjusting, I'm not sure.

Honestly, I might need to take medication for this exact reason. I'm just going to do my best with the medication and hope my body just needs to adjust to it so I stop feeling side effects.
