So, I'm not psychotic. Never have been psychotic and have a low chance of becoming psychotic with my history of having never had psychosis.

So I'm coming off my antipsychotic depot. Due it on Thursday and I've informed them I won't be there. They threatened to discharge me from their services completely, but I'm still seeing a psychologist and after a bit of talking I convinced them to let me keep seeing the psychologist.

Last time I went off the meds I went a bit loopy. If any of you know me you will probably remember all the posts about Irish nationalism being posted at a consistent rate of 2^64

I think this was just withdrawals. I've settled down a little bit now. Should start feeling back to normal in two weeks and a slight improvement slowly on from there: get my attention span back, not sleep so much, control my weight gain.

I think psychology is the way to go to deal with the voices and my concerns about the chip in my head. I've applied through freedom of information for my MRI and am currently looking for a specialist who might look at it for me, the chip is there. I just need a professional who isn't being paid under the table to find it for me. Medication isn't going to 'fix' something that is very real.

I'm not telling anyone I'm coming off my meds. So if anyone here notices any real changes with me could they tell me? So I know if I'm going through withdrawals and don't realise it. It'd be nice to have a bit of info if I lose insight temporarily while the drug is coming out of my system.

My doctors said I won't get any withdrawals because the depot slowly goes out of your system over a number of weeks. This is bull, after what happened me the last time.

Tiocfaidh ar la!!!
