Xeplion and abilify, quit ablify

Medications
1

I’m on xeplion. I was on abilify as well.

Ive quit abilify for over 2 months now.

I notice improvements in cleaning my room, people say I am better, but I am gaining fat despite training with kettlebells and I notice a loss of skill with video games

What is a wise thing to do? I thinking of getting them to reduce xeplion to 100 mg

Is this temporary withdrawal?

I do spiritual practice of sexual abstinence, I believe this helps me.

I see online people get great benefits from this practise. I experienced this as well, but not as much now.

I have had multiple psychosis episode, I have autism and shizophrenia, but im not sure. I think i just had multiple psychosis where I was seeing crazy things and synchronosities.

I do not understand why I am getting worse at the things I do, and my days feels empty becasue I am getting worse at my hobbies, I just read and watch youtube at the moment.

What do you guys think about antipsychotics in general?

The last time I tried to quit xeplion, i entered a hell like version of earth. My eyes became cross eyed. Everyone looked deformed. I became very unintelligent and i had no memory. Then when I took invega again, i woke up in the normal world

I took LSD at age 21 which caused a demon to enter me i think. I think my xeplion blocks the demon.

I am now 31 years old, i am doing fine but i am looking for improvements, my days feels empty but i am stable

I do not understand how it works.

I mean how without antipsychotics I go into an alternate reality, where my discernment stops working and i am being tormented like it is hell on earth, I practise abstinence to strengthen my spirit. I wish to one day live without these medications but i do not know if it is possible, i have no way to know how close i am to living without medication since it is too much of a risk to stop them.

Yeah. Without anti psychotics something is trying to possess me, it made me drink mouth wash and it wanted me to jump down the stairs. That happened last time i quit xeplion.

There is no other way I can put this.

I think LSD made me vulnerable, and this entity was able to enter my brain. Now i am free of all drugs. I do still drink lots of coffee and i smoke a lot of tabacco.

I think it’s not worth it to try something different if you already got one that works imo

Yeah. I will stick to xeplion. I will see if they can reduce the dose.

I have been on over 10 different medications. Xeplion is the one that works for me and gives me the least side effects. But something has changed now, i seem worse at the games i play like chess

I am now just venting, I just go to my parents. I have one friend who also has schizophrenia.

I feel like my days are kind of empty, i wish i had more friends. I’m no longer skilled at my hobbies. It may be the abilify withdrawal.

It feels like I am always striving for something better and not living in the moment and accepting the situation. Does anyone relate to this
