I quit the cariprazine cold turkey four days ago. It has a super long half life, and I was only on 3mg, so I'm not expecting any withdrawals or rebound psychosis (and I'm still on two other antipsychotics). My residential pdoc said this would be an okay thing to do for that reason. Next up: lorazepam. Should be easy since I'm only on 2mg 2x/day.

IOP is going okay, and I met somebody in residential who started the same program who seems really into recovery so I'm going to stay at his place for a few days to get away from this drug den of a neighborhood and be about 30 minutes closer to the IOP. The thing I don't like about IOP is I'm the only woman so every time the facilitator mentions "trauma" all I can think of is "I'm surrounded," but FaceEverythingAndRecover, I guess.

I'm working on my second poetry book, too. This one's going to be nature-themed.
