Hello all. A little background -
I was sectioned at 17 & placed on a lot of meds. I was discharged after around 4 months & shortly after successfully stopped all the meds.
Then at 21 I was again in hospital & placed on anti depressants & anti psychotics. I was on them longer this time - but again I successfully stopped them.
At 25 I was sectioned again & placed on 1200mg Amisulpride. I was like a zombie for a year - then I stopped them dead. I was sectioned again shortly after & put back on them. I refused them for a while & eventually agreed to a 200mg dose. 2 years passed, & at aged 28 I withdrew from them again over a 4 month period. I became very ill & psychosed & again went back on them. Next I tried a two year withdrawal. I ended up more ill than I have ever been. That was around 4 years ago now. I am now 35 (36 this year). After the last withdrawal attempt I went back on the 200mg Amisulpride. Around 3 years ago I dropped it to 175mg; which I am still on.
The last thing I want is to be ill again. But I really don;t want to be on this drug for life.
Has anyone here successfully stopped "Anti-psychotics" or specifically Amisulpride?
Does anyone have any suggestions - whatever they may be.
Thanks
