Suggest Ways To Get Off Psychotic Medication

Hello, I am getting Invega injection once a month, initially I went to emergency hospital for blood test because I suspected my husband whom I wish to divorce that he puts tinaktin in my red wine. on February 14, 2010; everything was bright, I had a chest pain and palpitations I couldn t sleep, I knew I needed to get hospitalized, so I signed to volunteer to get admitted and I didn t noticed it was at mental ward, I had to take psychotic drugs that I believe it is causing me to feel suicidal, every time I complain to my psychiatrist about the bad affects on me, he prescribes more medications that makes me look crazy, I developed bad insomnia I am diagnosed as bipolar. Before I took psychotic medications I was happy most of the time, and now I always depressed. HOW COULD I GET OUT OF PSYCHOTIC MEDICATIONS AND NOT BECOME CERTIFIED PATIENT ANYMORE?

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, if the precise diagnosis is that of bipolar disorder , there is very high liability of rebound symptoms once the drugs are discontinued on off a sudden. My advise would be

- life style modifications
- meditations
- deep breathing exercises
- YOGA
- joining peer groups with same conditions
- discuss dose tapering with your doc on periodic basis once the symptoms are very well controlled over a period of time
- avoid stress and anxiety
- avoid use of an recreational drugs or tobacco in any form if consuming.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
