I'm not sure if it's because I've stopped my medication or if it's withdrawal sort of symptoms but it's kinda scaring me a wee bit - going to tell someone tomorrow but I don't want put on any medication anymore

i wouldnt stop medication instantly bc it can have nasty effects on your mind and health have you spoken to your mh professional abt this? im not a specialist but it could be bc youve stop your medication. a psychiatrist would be able to help bc they are specialists in medication for mh and maybe talking to them abt your worries with medication? sending you hugs. 🫂

@eylah I mean tbf tho it was a really small dose of antipsychotics that would have been fine to come off so I don't think it's that - I'm going to try talk to my crisis team tomorrow but it's always people I know from school or hospital or outside that just phrases or sentences they said I hear in real life - it comes in groups

eylah

oh ok sry for getting it wrong @spacedog i want you to be safe. yes i would talk to them tmr bc they can help you and maybe not have you on medication if its not helping you and might come up with something else. here for you sry for not making sense 😅.

It does sound like it could be a withdrawal thing, I mean it would make sense to have more psychosis-type symptoms immediately after stopping an antipsychotic, even a low dose. Definitely tell someone about it but hopefully it’s just a symptom that’ll go away quickly.
Hope you’re doing okay apart from this 🫂
