My Experience With Psych Medication | Psychosis and Bipolar Disorder 

That's awesome that you found something that helps you. Yeah psilocybin have shown great results for depression. My main plug for people to stay on medication is for people with disassociative disorders like psychosis, bipolar, and schizophrenia. So awesome you found what was best for you 😊. Thank you for sharing.

@@justbeinghayden9451 No problem! ❤️ I’ve been fortunate to not have to go through certain disorders like schizophrenia and stuff, but in those cases medication is obviously a lot more important to at least try out👍 I haven’t been able to find any mushrooms in about 6 months, and I admit my mood is a little more depressive recently but looking back i still feel a lot better than before I discovered them so that’s good in hindsight

@@questal25 yeah honestly wish I could do mushrooms because I know they are super powerful healers, but there is a chance I would have a psychotic break because of them 😕. Good luck on your search!

@@justbeinghayden9451 Yeah it’s probably better to be safe than sorry! If I remember right I might’ve had a psychosis/disassociation experience last summer when I smoked weed at the end of a trip and felt like I was still tripping the next day. It actually gave me some dmt-like visuals which freaked me out a bit but I was fine after two days. And thank you I appreciate it❤️ Sending good vibes to ya

Jackrabbit - just a note of caution if stating psilocybin helps you in that for others it can lead to psychosis which then can take people often 2 to 5 years to recover from if ever. Psilocybin increases dopamine like any other drug which can put people at risk of going into psychosis. Psychosis is extremely hard to recover from so if telling people it helped you always give some statement of caution as well. Psilocybin has also ruined many lives. It’s been around for 60+ years and has been studied extensively and found not to be a reliable medicine and then was scheduled as an illegal drug. Too many stars etc advocate it and then people think it’s safe when in realty it can cause so much damage- visual perceptual damage, neurological damage, trigger life long mental illnesses, and trigger psychosis.

What do you mean by that?

informal inquiry is he manic,stable or depressed?

@@Berty001 I've been stable for a while now. I don't really struggled with mood swings as much as I used to.

who cares

Slowly tapered off the first time. Did it with a doctor took about two years for me I think. Then I was fine for 4 years, just had a relapse when I was smoking pot again.

@@justbeinghayden9451 are you aware that antipychotics cause tardive dysknesia nerological..i got tardive dysknesia from taking diffrent antipychotics for years

@@callumgeier9621 I was not aware of that. I know that some medications can have long term effects but didn't know specifics.

Haha yeah that was probably Oliver 😋

@@justbeinghayden9451 yep 😄

What do you mean by depersonalization and derealisation? I don't know if I have experienced that or not.

informal inquiry that feeling of being detached from your body and your surroundings

@@thc7865 I honestly don't think I have experienced that. But I could do some research on it.

informal inquiry then you never experienced it its hell on earth bro

@@thc7865 I'm sorry to hear you are going through that. Would not wish it on anyone. 😣

I'm glad they have been helpful to you. Thank you for sharing.

I am glad you were able to get off so early and be okay. Everyone has different experiences and different recovery rates. Thanks for sharing.

@@justbeinghayden9451 I wasn't totally ok and I think I got off it too soon. Lithium Orotate available over the counter is what I'm on now and it's helped so much.

what meds? was it hard to get off? how did you get off?

@@dreamznaspiratons7064 Seroquel. No it wasn't hard to get off. I just went off cold turkey. I had no withdrawal or side effects from going off it cold turkey.

It seems like you have a lot of questions you can reach out to me directly on Instagram if you like. My username is hmoreau19.

Yeah medication is tricky, some work for some and not for others. I'm lucky that risperdone works for me. Yeah it's not ideal to take meds, but it makes my life a little easier :)
