It's basic malpractice to be given these drugs for longer than a couple of weeks but surely we have to accept some responsibility if we know the dangers ourselves? I'm not aiming that at anyone, especially you A18, this situation isn't in your control and you stated you didn't know the dangers prior to ending up here.

Anyway, I'm so sorry this is happening to you A18. I really wish there was something I could say or do to help you. But I wish you the best and hope you find some solution to this problem.

Thank you. If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have just went along with my doctor upping my dosage to 8mg. It's better than any AP though. They have no effect on me. I've literally tried every single one except clozaril. At least this helps me stay calm and I don't get lost in my head and wonder down the rabbit hole.
