#'side effects: psychosis'

[alixisherebutringagain]

What is everyone with periods and on the schizospec's experience like ? Like, does it worsen your symptoms ? What about your meds ? Does it have an impact on your medication ?

I'm pretty sure I have PMDD but idk. One of my side effect from my meds, the "when standing up, you might experience dizziness, lightheadedness, palpitations, headrushes, or a fainting spell", gets worse when I'm around my periods.

Does anyone relate to that ?

I love reading trip reports/listening to them like podcasts. They make me focus and think and wonder but I already do that. But they like. Focus my wonder on the endlessly fascinating subject of altered mental states and even the state of the universe itself

#erowid #trip reports #weird hobbies #listening to people tell stories about their horrific trips my beloved #which i know most of which i'd never try the substance because that sounds like a horrible way to die or give myself permanent brain damage #or ptsd or hppd #i especially am wary of even popular tried and true psychedelics like acid and shrooms bc ive had some fucked up experiences #as well as laced drugs/fake acid #the one thing im curious about is ketamine and maybe low dose properly prepared fly agaric #and im also curious about opiates but thats less of a trip and more just 10 different intensities of going to heaven #highly addictive shit because truly it is good. thats why. thats why its a crisis thats why #a lot of other drugs produce extremely awful side effects like uncontrollable vomiting/nausea psychosis overheating etc #opiates dont do that. the worst of the worst will be feeling a little nausea if youre sensitive to it or dose too high and you'll be #constipated. the itching is never all that bad when you're even tho u might come to with suspicious scratches #thats what makes it dangerous it feels too good and youll ruin ur life over it easily #anyway dont try this at home kids i miss oxys hydros dillies sm #i consider myself a connoisseur #i have some godawful stories of poorly thought out highs/trips that seriously fucked me up

big pharma antidepressant marketing goes crazy the amount of times I see people on here happily accepting MONTHS of feeling ill every day on a drug bc ‘your body will get used to it one day’ like girl YOU ARE PAYING THEY WANT YOU TO GIVE THE DRUG MORE TIME BC YOU ARE PAYING 😭😭

#like I say this as someone who’s been on.. 3?4? diff ssris ? #like I have very complex but mostly negative feelings abt medication but it can serve a purpose as a tool / crutch in difficult times #it cannot be and will never work as a sole solution #and the expectation that one day the perfect med will turn up (that you’ll then be paying for for life !!) is fake babes !!! #the only treatment to chronic mental health is therapy and working on yourself sadly #the chemical imbalance Bs is a myth 😭😭😭 #<- sorry that’s def a perspective from me w depression anxiety ptsd mild psychosis and ocd like #maybe some conditions can be more medication dependent #but then antipsychotics literally are so bad for your body Idek man I think we should question more of these assumptions #it’s not like the mentally I’ll get a voice in any of these prescriptions of what’s ‘best for us’ #like not to sound foucauldian but it was not the institutionalised who’s voices where being heard when deciding how to treat them ! #the entire industry is corrupt 😭 #electro convulsive therapy still happens in hospitals to this day ! it’s still a treatment !! #(my perspective comes as someone fortunate enough to have had several courses of cbt and psychotherapy for FREE. I understand that therapy #is more expensive than meds for many people. exploitative dehumanising evil industry) #oh and the biggest irony of this whole circus is that #of course if you’re unwell every day with side effects from medication you won’t be thriving mentally #and guess what that means !! more money to line more pharma company pockets buying more pills !! #like my side affects from going off ssris the last 1.5 weeks had made me feel HORRIBLE #luckily I have the knowledge and awareness to identity that those are THE MEDS #that is not my brain making me sick (I don’t need more meds)

my psychiatrist is so annoying sometimes. i'll be talking abt symptoms that bother me and he's like "yeah well, that doesn't mean you're severely psychotic though! it doesn't mean you're schizophrenic!" and its like. bro. i didn't mention either of those things??

i don't even CARE if i am those things, i'm just telling you abt weird things my brain does that fuck with me. you're supposed to be helping me figure out how to work with those symptoms, what does that have to do with it???

#like?? #he keeps trying to tell me like #that my psychotic symptoms are just like #side effects of my PTSD #and its like he's trying to reassure me #telling me i'm not whatever type of disorder #and its just annoying #i don't fucking care??? #i mean clearly my psychosis is NOT all my PTSD #bc like #some of it originated before my ptsd #and has nothing to do with my ptsd #but like #lol #i'm just trying to figure out how to deal with it #in the event that it gets bad again #and hes too busy trying to explain to me #how it doesn't mean i'm X type of disordered #and how it could mean many things #and blah blah ect #like i care? #as if im abt to freak out over that?? #like i don't give af #seriously #he's ok #but just that #OK #its just #fsdjklafhdjksalfhdsaj ughhhhh whatever #ableism?

So apparently (and I haven't verified this myself, just read it in my silly little book) in studies about violence rates in mentally ill people *before* the psychopharmologic revolution, violence rates among the population were the same or less than among the general population. After the introduction of drugs that caused akathesia as a common side effect, these rates of violence went up.

The author postulates that there are other contributing factors, such as homelessness following deinstitutionalization. But akathesia is a side effect that makes patients feel like they want to jump out of their own skin, it's an unbearable, indescribable, painful restlessness that has driven many people to suicide or murder. So that may be a contributing factor as well.

Additionally, some of the "violent schizophrenics off their meds" you see on the news are not violent due to their schizophrenia returning, but due to horrible withdrawal symptoms. Stopping antipsychotics abruptly can cause rebound psychosis more severe than one would even naturally have. Woooo!

#Also it took them years to actually accept that akathesia was a real side effect #They just assumed it was a symptom of psychosis and RAISED THE DOSE OF THE DRUG CAUSING THE SIDE EFFECT #AHHHHHHH!!!!! #Listen to patients goddamn you #medical malpractice #mad in america #I'm never gonna be a medical doctor but if I was this book would teach me a lot about listening to patients lol #SORRY FOR LIVEBLOGGING THIS BOOK I JUST LIKE IT A LOT EVEN THOUGH THE AUTHOR ANNOYS ME SOMETIMES

Had an upsetting moment where I was on a call with some friends from synagogue and one of them reminded us that daylight savings is tonight and I was like oh g-d, that’s annoying and my other friend who has just had a baby was like (sarcastically) well that sounds hard, try getting six hours of sleep a night for months on end! And I was like yeah how about you try having multiple psychotic episodes triggered from lack of sleep and see how much it freaks you out to know you’ll be getting less sleep through no fault of your own! Cause let me tell you it really is scary.

#anyway. he did actually know about the psychosis but he doesn’t know it’s triggered by lack of sleep in my case #also he was joking but I didn’t even say it with that much genuine complaining I was mostly joking too it’s just upsetting #that I would easily take six hours of sleep for months on end with all those side effects if I knew it wouldn’t cause psychosis. #but here we are #anne speaks

hopefully that post made sense I am so tired all of a sudden so I rewrote it like three times. I didn't even do that much today but I think I woke up in the middle of the night last night ? so here's hoping I can sleep really well today 🌜⭐

#ktxt #I have work tomorrow but I don't feel nearly as horrible so hopefully won't be hitting the sadposting quota this week #I think it was just medication side effects to tell you the truth. which sucks to be me but at least it was an easy fix kind of #me: takes anything or ingests any drugs my psychosis: hey would you like to play a Game #except pain medication of course. which does not work 👍

i have definitely made a post like this before but i’m so fucking fed up with ppl that i’m making it again. why does no one seem to know what a trigger warning is!! why are people so offended by the idea of giving other people information to regulate themselves?? “life doesn’t come with trigger warnings!” IT LITERALLY DOES?? WHAT DO YOU THINK MOVIE RATINGS ARE?? we use trigger warnings all the fucking time.

also: no one seems to know what being triggered means?? being triggered is shorthand for stimuli or situations triggering a mental health crisis. whether that crisis is a PTSD episode, a psychotic episode, a panic attack, a meltdown, etc. being triggered is not “this makes me comfortable” or being “easily offended”, it’s a serious case of emotional distress and dysregulation.

and the wild thing is, most people who complain about trigger warnings are the same kind of ppl who are trying to get books they find even slightly offensive banned from places like schools! they’re the same people who will shoot at their bud lite cans bc they saw a single trans person collaborating with the company. the people who seem so aggravated by people with literal trauma and mental health issues asking for a little heads up are the same ppl who would spontaneously combust if someone said the words “reparations” within a mile radius of them.

#trigger warnings #that’s why i tag posts that mention a fake fact with tw unreality #bc as someone with psychosis i understand how bad episodes can be and how much can bring them on #also like… for ppl who say ‘oh well life doesn’t have trigger warnings’ that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t?? #‘life doesn’t work that way!’ you understand we can change the conditions of society right?? we have the power to do that #also ppl with trauma know life doesn’t come with trigger warnings. we spend our days getting triggered by a number of things #so when we encounter so many things that you can’t create trigger warnings for #we would really fucking appreciate it if ppl could at least try to put warnings on the stuff where you can put it! #same with ppl with psychosis #ik bugs don’t come with trigger warnings. i wish they did! but they don’t #and i have to interact with bugs on the daily basis as a side effect of living on earth #so it would be REALLY FUCKING NICE if someone showing a video of bugs could let me know what the video is about! #bc i would like to not have more hallucinations over something that if you just put the words ‘tw:bugs’ in front of #i wouldn’t be having hallucinations for them in the fucking first place!

Addiction and mental illness go hand in hand. This was perfectly displayed as preschoolers were threatened by a man with a knife in Seattle this week.

The good thing about Car Seat Headrest is that if you like a song, you’re in luck because it still has five minutes more. The bad thing about Car Seat Headrest is that if you’re trying to pause the music at the end of the song, you’re out of luck because it still has five minutes more.

#g-d bless the tmg blogger here who recommended I listen to CSH for psychosis #I’ve had Twin Fantasy on constantly for the past week #but I have noticed this annoying side effect of all the songs being 10 mins long lol #anne speaks
