Anyone suffering from psych meds here?

[deadpool55]

its Just this, I can barely y work out and sleep these days due to how bad medication has left me. They forced that on me and I can't think about anything than being out of here. They have literally sent me to hell, my body is in a constant stress mode where I am not even able to do my shit correctly. I desperately want everyone who has participated in this plot against me and afterwards against my health getting punished or exposed for what I have now to carry with me everyday and a very where. Fuck Psych and Fuck this type of people every fucking day. Sinners

 

[dirkw83]

yes i been on olanzapine it's hell now

 

[IAmFae]

I'm on sertraline after a failed attempt 3 months ago.
It's been terrible and I'm losing hope. It makes me feel like I've been locked out of my mind which is the only safe place I have. I have no energy and it's incredibly hard to even think. It just gives me nausea and makes my head feel like it's going to explode without any positives really.

I am brain damaged from psych meds,
they destroyed me with injections,
sometimes I feel like a toddler

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Im on Escitalopram and Venlafaxine, they made me gain weight like you wouldn't believe:/

Are they helping besides that?

Are they helping besides that?

Hmm...it's not the ideal combination. But I've tried so many in the last 25 years, this seems to be the most helpful.

 

[UserFromNowhere]

ProZac, Seroquel, and Adderall. I think ProZac and Adderall have been helping somewhat. At least, at this point I can't really go a day without them or be left unable to motivate myself to go outside. Seroquel initially helped when I was first put on it (for sleep), but now it's not really helping that much and I'm considering speaking to my doctor about trying something else, given how long I've been on it and how little it has actually helped. But I know I'd have to taper off it, because trying to go to sleep without it doesn't work all that well.

Almost had a heatstroke from Effexor, as well as headaches and nausea from other meds. I quit and feel much better.

Seroquel is an antipsychotic and should be off-label for insomnia.. Psychiatrists love to prescribe antipsychotics for everything...

Also think about if the other meds you mentioned are truly helping or if it's just you being hooked on them now

 

[Cyaneed]

Olanzapine, Abilify, Nozinan, Orfiril, Alimemazine and some beta blockers. I have to take Metformin too because the Olanzapine gave me pre diabetes. I fucking hate psych meds. You can't even CTB on this either, so they are basically useless. You just pass out and feel like crap afterwards

 

[deadpool55]

Yeah people, Thanks for answering somehow. They forced me the injections of abilify, risperidone, and lastly clopixol.
I notice it has left me unable to even walk or talk properly. My hands are always Shaky and even my arms/legs feel heavy and unable to complete their movement correctly. I believe this is how people feel after getting hit in the head by an accident.
I am also unable to focus or maintain my visión towards anything for more than 1/2 seconds. Hell on earth for sure. Just not sure If I will be able to endure this for the rest of my life.
I have been off of them all for at least 6 months but nothing has gotten better. Fuck this world.
It makes me wonder how many people is killing them selves just because the "solution" is worse than the problem. From my POV, there was not even a problem just family worried about me smoking weed and not being like I should for this enslaved world. They fucking destroyed my nervous system and whatsoever they dont believe me when I try to explain why I cant be normal after the treatments I received.
Its been 3 years already since everything changed for the worst. I am unable to feel relaxed in my own body and also unable to feel pleasure in my genitals when they are stimulated. All I have is disability wherever you see.

That's it. They create brain dead people that seem "ill". We are like children trying to survive an imposed Chemical feeling in their bodies. They have deleted more than 50% of my personality. Not even exercising feels rewarding.

I've been on quite a bit, been around the block

Started on aripiprazole (i think you americans call it abilify or something) but that gave me akathessia (shakey hands) -- but for some it works wonders
Then was on olanzapine and valporate -- but got weight gain mainly from the olanzapine
then was on lamotragine which i liked but didn't control my i guess crazy
OD on zopiclone and lorazepam and ended up in hospital..... never got it prescribed again
then got put on lithium which actually yeah did a real decent job of making me stable until i went off it cause i thought i didn't need it
didn't like escitalopram, i got buxism (jaw clenching)
enjoyed bupiropian, partial efficacy for adhd and helped with my depression
later on got methylphenlidate for adhd, which helped me function
and the life saver quetiapine which helped me sleep -- actual life saver, i wish i had it earlier

right now on lithium, quitiapine and methylphenlidate
on lithium im definintly more.... quieter. thoughts are quieter. i'm just okay

i really was whack a mole til i found the right combination
i'm no longer in distress, I guess the "issue" i have now is I am calmly planning to ctb. Not impulsive, not reactively, just calm planning.... trying to get better slowly so can find me on the recovery side of this fourm... i guess I wanted to post on this thread cause yeah, i've been on a lot of meds

Seroquel is an antipsychotic and should be off-label for insomnia.. Psychiatrists love to prescribe antipsychotics for everything...

just if i can add my 2 cents, at "higher doses" the queitiapine binds to dopamine receptors in the brain hence the anti-psychostic affect (stop hearing voices, reduces mania etc)
at lower doese e.g. 25-50mg (what I take) it binds to the histamine receptors, which can make you sleepy, similar to sleepy-causing hayfever medications e.g. promethazine.

Yes bro EXACTLY. This is why I am trying to warn people about olanzapine (the only psych drug I have experience with). This stuff is super dangerous and if you can avoid taking it all DO IT.

can you tell me what meds did you take exactly, I am scared af, I started lexapro and it works alright and I am on week 3, little to no side effects, I was also prescribed abilify and was hesitant to take it at first but then I decided to do it and it was FUCKING HELL, THE WORST THING EVER, WORST DAY OF MY LIFE, GENUINELY ALMOST KILLED ME, that shit was no joke had me traumatized and sedated for 3 days with akathisia at the same time and freezing cold. I am scared of psych meds side effects ever since but the reason I took them in the first place was to give another try cause I was already getting ready to ctb

Olanzapine is the worst "medicine" ever. It messed up my endocrine system, but my doc won't reduce the dosage. So I did it myself without his knowledge.

Fuck yeah bro reduce the shit out of that dosage.

 

[hlchoo]

Im on Escitalopram and Venlafaxine, they made me gain weight like you wouldn't believe:/

I am on escitalopram and duloxetine. Is Venlafaxine caused you insomnia? Am thinking to switch to Venlafaxine but worry about the side effect of insomnia.

 

[hughmun9]

Not anymore but while I was taking risperidone it was hell. My mind felt sluggish and slow, my memory felt impacted. Above all, it was what initially triggered my anhedonia.

If I may ask, have you been a neurotypical/less deeply emotional person, cause I noticed that mainly the people (like me) who are/were way more neurodiverse, also seem to get the most fucked up neuropsychiatric and brain destroying side effects from those drugs.

If I am honest, I was just that normal guy with a normal life until my family pushed me to have an appointment with a public psych which ordered my involuntary treatment and then forced me abilify injections. This was March 2023. Since then, I have not been able to recoger my previous healthy and normal health. This also means I lost what is considered to be a normal life due to the torturous feelings I get in my whole body. Never do psych drugs if you can. They little by little destroy you and turn you into a zombie.

Are you in the UK? Were you like actually directly forced onto them or ""just"" coerced? Many countries at least have some laws against forced drugging, but I've heard that it's very easy for the shrinks to do in the UK.. Fall out of line, and instantly get ego-killed..

dude that's fucking tragic, your parents suck ass no offense, I usually get butthurt when seeing anti psychiatry people cause in my case pills saved my sister's ass and also mine kinda but forcing someone to take something like that is insane. My mom also made a show for me not taking abilify cause "the psychiatrist gave it for a reason he should know better" LIKE MF MY BODY IS DECAYING WYM. Abilify is the devil. Psych meds should only be used by people who are actively planning to ctb as a last minute resort tbh

Im not sure if its the Venlafaxine, but i keep waking up after 2 hours, sleep 1, wake up and so on

Had the same thing happen to me on venlafaxine, might be it?

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Probably is then.:/

 

[Echo]

yes i been on olanzapine it's hell now

May I ask how it was withdrawing from olanzapine and if any long term damage? I have been on this drug for a long time.

May I ask how it was withdrawing from olanzapine and if any long term damage? I have been on this drug for a long time.

Sure, I have shaky hands that doesn't seem to go away, also I feel like I'm dumber than I used to be, more trouble with analogies and always a feeling that my mind is clouded. This has not been getting better. Overall I was lucky that I didn't end up with akathisia or other awful things like this.

But the main problem is I can't sleep without olanzapine, I have to take it every once in a while otherwise I will simply be unable to sleep no matter how tired I am. I'm really trying to get off it but sleep just won't let me. Even when taking it sometimes, I still sleep like absolute ass. Usually I wake up after one or two hours. And since the effects of olanzapine are opaque, I have no idea what my prognosis long term will be - whether my sleep problems will stabilize or get worse. No idea. Doctors DEFINITELY don't know either.

 

[meowpuppy]

currently withdrawing off escitalopram and clonazepam at once.. not fun.. but i'm thankfully getting better.

 

[limenlux]

I suspect that a decade of being on and off multiple anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications, combined with five years of being on and off over a dozen medications for a neurological disorder, combined with the neurological disorder itself, has thoroughly damaged my brain. My memory is terrible, I can never focus or think clearly, and my emotions are very muted. I cannot remember the last time I shed a tear or genuinely laughed out loud.
