I'm not sure why you feel insulted...every day there is a post about how you forgot to take your morning med so you are taking it at some random point during the day instead of at a set time if you remember it at all---its not meant to be insulting or judging its just the reality of what you are experiencing right now. The dose you are taking is much lower than your injection but you weren't open to trying a 5mg or even 7mg dose to see how it affected you. Just because its higher doesn't mean it will be sedating like the shot. The shot could have been equivalent to as much as 10mg or more given how frequently they were giving it. I recommended doing a slower taper so you'd have to start at 7-10mg and then go down more slowly...a lot of what you are experiencing right now is probably due to drug withdrawal and not innate psychosis so if you want to stop whats happening now I would increase the dose and once stable try going back down at a much slower rate. IMO you should come clean with your pdoc and let her stabilize you....but really I'm going to apologize if I do sound I don't know irritated or judgmental because my emotions are all over the place last couple of days its like they are coming back after a long hibernation and I'm not quite sure how to handle them so I seem to be yelling at people for no reason today. So sorry if I offended you with the previous post or this one...
