Hi Folks,
I have been suffering from psychotic episodes for the last 8-9 years. I got a lot of diagnosis, mainly schizophrenia, etc. I always smoked a lot of weed.
I was at a rehabilitation for half a year, and a doc told me that it seems (I was there in marijuana free environment) that I'm not schizophrenic, but I had cannabis induced psychosis.
For a year now I'm working, have a girlfriend, and enjoy playing music. I'm totally ok.
That doc at the rehab told me that I could try without meds, and I can be med free in about a year. A year has passed, and I'm still on 3mg invega. No doc where I live would agree to reduce the amount now, they either tell me to wait, or want to make me sign a paper that they can take me to the hospital against my will if my condition is a bit worse. Then they would make the reduction.
I am so tired of this med, I really feel bad about it, and maybe I don't need it. I don't drink or smoke weed anymore.
Anyone here thinks it would be ok to quit 3mg invega cold turkey?
thanks!
