jo-an Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 2 weeks ago i startted getting high, paranoia set in & i think i had a couple of hallucinations, things have calmed in my body but my head is speeding, not thinking just feels like im speeding. fed up with the carbam oh what ever its called sure its that thats making me feel fast & my body sluggish. Fed up with the quitiepine, good for sleeping but iv already got back a sweet tooth, its this med, so im stopping them & if i go high again i know its psychosis on its way if not then its those pills. I hate medication, so many side effects, im always put down by dr's that im awkward for not taking what they say. Why dont they try em!!!!! oooh so fed up with all that crap in me.. But no win situation with out the anti psychotic how will i sleep??? Its hard to know what to do. Any suggestions from anyone???Jo-an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I totally agree, if Doctors tried the medication they wouldn't be so quick to prescribe them !!they've come along way in twenty years, but the're still CRAP.it's not the Doctors it's the drug companies.I tried Quetipaine and it was horrid, i'm on Olanzepine now.I wish you all the best and hope you stay well - at least you'll have a rest from the Crap Drugs !!Mole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerielight Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 i know what you mean.. i am having to come off all my meds slowly over the next 6 months as the chemical cocktail has made my thyroid disease worse( i havent started tapering yet)If you do come off them, please do it slowly, it can be dangerous to withdraw suddenly. hugs, bluebell x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazer34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Im now taking 25mg of quitipine (sorry cant spell it) instead of 50mg and my head is so much clearer and I can think for the 1st time in 2 years ! Im better off them.I have been on this lower dose for only 7 days and feel a good difference.Now Im hoping to come off it altogether ! Of course my CPN doesnt know as she advised me not to come off meds as I could be ill again.She is not the one that feels like a zombie all the time. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've been refusing to take anything. I told my doctor I am the sane one and shouldn't have to be medicated. She agreed with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
