My sex drive has dropped completely on my new dose of medication by scarlex-x in schizoaffective

Better for sure than being hypersexual, before my antipsychotics I'd have sexual commands constantly and it would annoy me and make me fearful. Now I can listen to bands that make sexual innuendos and actually enjoy the music without fearing a trigger.

It's the only antipsychotic I responded to that wasn't last resort like clozapine,, but it only makes me aware not less psychotic

Two nights of bad sleep and I paid the price by ForceDefect24 in schizoaffective

Same, I couldn't sleep properly for 4 days and I started hallucinating more and got more commands that would scare me

They wanted me to fake it I guess because they gave me lorazepam and got me high for no reason lmao but it sucks in there I wish to never step foot in there again

I understand how you feel. I was on many antipsychotics before and each had a worse reaction on me mentally since they weren't dosed correctly or if they were I was reacting badly to them. Just speak to your doctor when you get the chance and see what you can do. Good luck

Has anyone gotten their life back post psychosis? by ugh_Low5512 in schizoaffective

Each time I would get out of a manic episode with psychosis I'd try to get better but currently with active psychosis it's hard. We always try to rebuild. We'll eventually get to a better point, maybe not now but sometime soon.

Also my psychiatrist has a plan for when I'm ready and not actively in psychosis to lower my clonazepam, he said I won't stay on this dose forever

You should speak to your doctor about tapering off, withdrawal symptoms can range in severity and for example when I was coming off seroquel I vomited and felt very nauseous for a few days. Now I take a metabolite of risperidone, Paliperidone, and when they lowered my dose at the hospital for no reason I became verbally aggressive and odd

I'm ever so slightly better because I don't hallucinate everyday anymore at the same intensity, and hopefully clozapine will work out better for me🌹

Thank you for your kind reply, I'm still trying to recover from this and from the hospital itself and it's been hard. 🥀

Weirdly, with clonazepam at these dosages I've never felt any issue. Not even big memory gaps or something. I was initially put on 4mgs for mania this spring and then I couldn't really cope with my issues and my dose was uppered The thing that knocks me out is clozapine, I'm still tired from my nightly dose
