Sometimes, slight psychotic symptoms and anxiety are indistinguishable. Is this only me or is it common? I would say "psychosis" is a: when you lack insight, which I don't and b: when it lasts for a whole, which it doesn't. So it is psychotic symptoms/anxiety for a few ours and they are always gone the next day. That is what I was dealing with when reducing my Neuroleptics in the past. My liposomal GABA/ lemon balm combo has put a dent in that. So maybe now I can go ahead and reduce more easily.
The Neuroleptic treatment really result in hardcore side effects for me. I need to take Metformin to curb the sugar cravings, the Metformin leads to lowered Testosterone which again leads to psychological problems. That is pretty hardcore and not really healthy. Overweight, albeit not obesity thanks to Metformin. But as I said, it comes with a price.
My psychotic symptoms were med-fueled. I didn't develop them on my own. But still it was difficult to reduce the Neuroleptics even after discontinuing the offending drug.
Seroquel 700mg
Zyprexa 22.5mg
