Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well. I've been off of my antipsychotic for a little over a month and things are going quite well. I've lost 8 pounds, began menstruating again, got my sex drive back (my boyfriend says "thanks"), don't sweat bullets anymore, laugh, cry and generally feel more like myself again.

Here's the bad part, while I was on the Invega my mind was a virtual blank slate. I pretty much had no thoughts. Well, now my mind is full! All of my past traumas keep playing over and over in my head and in my dreams. I can usually stop them pretty quickly, but they keep creeping back in. I do not want to back on meds. I'm hoping that therapy will help. Has anyone else had this happen, and how did you handle it?
