Hi moon children i think it’s important to let you know why I’ve not been posting as much. Had a bit of a relapse but hopefully get on track with my blog next week. Life is not always easy with the battle i face with my illness. Life isn’t perfect for anyone all of the time
It has taken me a while to settle down after recent stressors. Ive had a reoccurance of my illness for about four weeks. Theyve been trying to reduce one of my meds which I’m not happy about. As soon as I was on 200mg i had a relapse but coped with it well. Put myself back on 400mg and informed my community nurse.
I was back to myself, now they’re trying to reduce it again as im not under the stress i was. If i become ill again gonna stand my ground and stop on 400mg
Seroquel the prescribed drug theyre trying to reduce acts as both mood stabiliser and anti psychotic. When reduced started rapid cycling and a reemergence of psychosis although i could use cbt to challenge my changing perception. But my anxiety was through the roof. It is normal to have a few residual symptoms that can be challenged but this was full blown psychosis. I did maintain insight as i usually do but it isnt pleasant. I am not happy reducing my meds but we’ll see
