No, it is too deep and I am fully in it. The sorry happens when I come out fo it and read the texts I sent out. :)
I did not have psychosis all the time. Mostly bipolar symptoms. Yes, meds stopped psychosis but made my life even worse. Klonopin will take me out of psychosis in about 30 minutes. See: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5354128/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5354128/
And thank you.
- tomcam 2y agoAntipsychotics are a real bitch, very frequently embodying the whole cure being worse than the illness paradox. Do you take anything for the bipolar?
- kayodelycaon 2y agoDifferent bipolar person chiming in :) I can only tolerate antipsychotics because my medication mix counters a lot of the side effects. I have an entire page of notes for my psychiatrist, listing my medication’s and their side effects, and how they interact. I’m probably one of the few people who never wants to stop taking medication. They helped me focus my creativity. I never could’ve become an author without them.
- FollowingTheDao 2y agoLamictal worked well for me and the Bipolar Symptoms. But high Omega 3 Keto, and some other dietary changes, does well for me now. See this for someone else doing medical keto who has been able to stop all medications: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIs30jDxeo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIs30jDxeo
