How can I get through psychosis without antipsychotics?
I was diagnosed with psychosis in march and got put on risperidone. At the time my psychosis wasn’t that bad I could function normally I was just a little paranoid. I’ve been trying to taper down the risperidone and got down to .1 mg by slicing up the pills but at work I had feelings of rebound psychosis come back that lasted for about an hour but it felt way worse than any psychosis I have felt before I had so much anxiety my legs felt heavy and I could barely function.
I upped the dose a little bit up to .5 mg but I still want to get off this. Should I just stick it out next time? It did go away after I had my break and I felt normal. I feel like the antipsychotic is only prolonging and making it worse. I’m going to try to taper back down but I want to be prepared incase that happens again. Are there any supplements or herbs that have helped you guys deal with psychosis? I believe I awakened my kundalini accidentally which is what led to psychosis. I really don’t know what to do though because my psychiatrist just wants me on antipsychotics but there has to be another way than lab made chemicals that mess up everything in my brain.
