Hello guys I'm new in the forum and i'm looking for someone that can help me. One year and half ago I had a acute psychosis event after I smoked weed one time now I'm pretty good but I have simpton that is very bad. The simpton is that I feel the world unreal and fake is a sensation like a depersonalization but I don't know if is that. Now I take only latuda 40mg is a new generation antipsichotic med that help me with psicothic sintoms. There is something that can I do for this sintom? Maybe change the therapy I don't know? Maybe there is a antipsychotic that work better for this simptom?

hi jokko
it is something to talk to your doctor about. when i felt like that, it is a result of my trauma and as i worked on it or took meds that feeling went away so who knows what is causing it. it is best if you discuss it with your professionals. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome

[Jokko]

it'like 3 months that I say that to my doctor but he says that is only anxiety effect but i don't feel anxiety on my own...there must be something that can I do for that...it's a ****ing sensation I can't live with its too difficult

Hello Jokko, welcome to Psych Central.

Well, if it is related to anxiety then your doctor should be looking into helping you with that also by suggesting psychotherapy and/or a medication to help those symptoms. It is a distressing feeling and you deserve help with it. It may be that an adjustment is needed to the current medication you are taking. Go back to the doctor, you do not need to suffer like this. Here is a link to resources that can help you with anxiety >>>> Top Anxiety Resources Online -- Add yours here!

Hello and welcome to Psych Central Jokko!!! I had a psychotic break 5 years ago that left me feeling disconnected to everything and everyone around me. It was a strange and awful feeling. Everything seemed muffled and numb. I was in shock. It took almost a year for all my senses to come back to normal even after being stabilized on medications. I hope you are feeling better soon. I would continue to push with your psych doc as you've been experiencing this for more than a year. Best to stay away from any drugs other than your prescribed medications as reactions can be detrimental. Best wishes!!!

[Jokko]

Hello ruftin, thank you for your response. What kind of antypsichotics did you use for your cure?

The one time weed smoking event can't posddibly have any effect on your current symptoms.THC doesn't remain in your system that long unless you're a hard-core user.Marijuana can trigger hidden symptoms and it sounds like that's what happened to you.It might be a good idea to research the side effects of Latuda and consult your doctor.

This sense of irreality is related to a trauma (acute psichosis) and a consequences of anxiety...isn't latuda I tried to stop it but the sense of irreality stay...

Hello. I had a stress/anxiety induced psychotic break at the end of january. It started with feelings of unreality combined with racing thoughts and progressed to me convinced I was in a dream and I had hallucinations and delusions. It was terrifying. Eventually I believed the only way I could "wake up" was by ODing (though I didn't feel it as committing suicide).I was even snapping my wrists with rubber bands.

Anyway, I ended up inpatient and was put on seroquel.

Even with that I still have myself having moments where I feel things aren't real. Very scary.

When I take a clonazepam during those moments it helps me calm down. Maybe a benzo would help you?

[avlady]

i also controlled my psychosis with clonazapam, it really helped me get out of the hallucinations both audio and mental. i wish you well.

[Jokko]

I tried benzo like xanax but make my sense of irreality worse worse I don't know. Maybe there are something that work well

[Jokko]

now I'm on latuda 80mg before to go to sleep. but this antypsichotic dosen't work with a sense of irreality I don't know I hope that's is not chronic or a brain damage

Hello Jokko, having a psychotic event is akin to breaking a leg or some other serious illness. It's something that can take a while to recover from so you need to be gentle with you. The latuda dosage will take a while also to take the right effect. It can take a month or more for the medication to get into your system properly. No you won't have brain damage! It will take time to feel well again.

[Jokko]

I know that it take time to recover but now is 1 year and half that I feel this ****ing sense :/ now I will wait a month or two to see if latuda work properly

[Jokko]

I spoke with my professional about this sense of shock/derealization has said that is better if I take a dose of antidepressant with the antypsychotic meds what do you think about that an antidepressant can improve my actual state? I noticed that when i look at the floor after ten second it begins to sway what is this simptom?
