I’m pulling myself off of all my psychiatric meds one by one and it has been hard, but I’m already feeling the positive effects. I was on an antipsychotic called Rexultifor the last year and successfully cold turkey’d it. Took my last one a month ago.

Now I’m pulling myself off of Trintellix, which is my antidepressant. I’ve gained a lot of weight on it and I’m just not happy with myself. Why am I even on so many meds? My doctor said that after she’s had me on an antipsychotic for a year, she actually doesn’t think I’m bipolar and instead thinks I just have extensive trauma.

Thanks I guess?

Anyway, today is my first day skipping my Trintellix. I’ve spent the last month in hellacious anti psychotic withdrawal, so anything this throws at me will feel like a cakewalk in comparison.

I’ll be staying on my Vyvanse, Guanfacine and Buspar. The Guanfacine works as a heart med for my POTS while also evening out the negative parts of being on a stimulant.

After coming off this anti depressant I will be coming off of gabapentin. That I will need to taper. I tried last summer to come off of it and almost offed myself as a result. I went catatonic and just laid on Stephen’s lap, rocking my body and humming to stop the terrible thoughts I was having.

I didn’t taper it though, so that was my issue.

I’m going to free myself from the shackles of all these medications. I’m 30 years old and I want to enjoy it. I want to feel everything deeply again instead of feeling this fuzzy numb feeling 24/7. I’d rather feel everything and cry than walk around this world letting time pass me by because I feel apathyx1000.

My medication journey started in rehab in 2020. I hadn’t taken meds since I was a child taking stimulants for my adhd. I was put on a cocktail of things and gained an insane amount of weight when all I needed was some fucking therapy and help addressing the death of my father.

Gonna set it all straight now and undo what I thought was just my new norm. It doesn’t have to be.

Here’s to lots of withdrawals coming my way, ha.

Hoping for strength.

The Rexulti is going okay so far. I’m still skeptical about it.

[eleftherian]

Me: has a staticky migraine, body aches, chills, keeps dissociating, memory getting worse, feels irritable and agitated, & has intrusive thoughts abt hurting myself

Me 2: also has the anxious scary, heart go fast, can’t stay still, lethargic, and confused af

Me 3: realizes I haven’t taken my Rexulti in 6 days and I’m on the max dose and those are ✨withdrawal✨ symptoms

Me 4:

Hello children today I got sent home from work bc I started new meds and couldn't walk a straight line. Wheeee~

[unpretty-hurts]

Today’s eating was less than stellar. I started things off with a apple, a friend chicken breast(it was rather small too) I ate some leftover potato salad, some chips.

Later I had 5 fried chicken wings w/ chipotle ranch, and followed it up with my disgusted yet patented triple decker Pb & j. 3918/3590. It was a bad day.

Met with my psychiatrist, the scale there said I was 499.8. I was baffled but didn’t let myself count it as my true number since Monday I weighed in at 502.0. I told her that I stopped taking my Rexulti because I felt it was increasing my appetite. We had a pretty tense back and forth, she did not think it was the Rexulti. But said we could try abilify but it might have the same effect. I declined. Offered to reduced the Rexulti, I declined. Offered to switch my fetzima to something else, I decline. It was a rollercoaster.

She finally convinced me on the reduced dosage and switch to taking it at night. I’m not particularly pleased with this but I’m willing to give it a go for the next two weeks. The issue is that once I stopped the Rexulti my depression increased 10 fold, and it obviously showed in that session.

Gotta call my psychiatrist and wake him up and remind him to mail me pills

Edit: okay, that’s done, now I gotta wake up enough to call the repair guy about an office door
