I took 100mg Seroquel last night. I should have taken 50mg because the 150mg Invega Sustenna injection kicked in this morning. I took a 50mg Vyvanse this morning, went back to sleep and my god I was knocked out, woke up an hour later but had to get up cuz I'm doing things today.
What helps you personally or what can help you with the sedation? I always like my racing thoughts at the end of the injection - Cool, interesting thoughts. But I get stressed which isn't good for the brain as it can lead to psychosis. So I need antipsychotic. I'm going for a walk this morning. So what helps me is; - Light exercise (A little bit because it's hard to motivate self while sedated) - Stimulation (People to talk to that don't judge your zombie state, caffeine, stimulants like ADHD medication - Rarely people with psychosis can take stimulants but I can which doesn't really help on day 1 of injection) - Watching TV (I know... Vegetating watching TV... At least we can absorb some sort of information..) - Keeping busy (Having a job or part time job - Likely this isn't good for volunteering because we have to be social which is hard while sedated) - Sleep (Would suck to be on a high dose of antipsychotic every day because that's basically what we do.. Sleep.. It's a literal nightmare) - Music and podcasts (Even though we can't really feel emotions in sound - Like TV, it's absorbing a slight amount of information) - Idk what else. Leave in comments below what else you have in mind... |
