I was taking methapromazine, a phenothiazine, at 10mg for sleep and Risperidal up to 3mg in the morning. Eventually I reached a point where I had difficulty breathing, muscle stiffness, and small amount of tremor after moving my fingers.
I was on 3mg for 1 week, 2 mg for 2 weeks, and 1mg for 1 week.As I lowered the dose and switched to taking Risperidal at night, I'd have periods where I'd feel great, then I'd feel like crap. After completely quiting the meds I feel very dead. Not depressed but just amotivated, very apathetic, and it's hard to think.
Could this have something to do with upregulation of my dopamine receptors in response to low levels of dopamine? Will it reverse? It's been almost 3 weeks and I still feel very dead.
