They’re making me so dopey. I found an article about how AP cause a reduction in brain matter, so now I am determined to get off the AP.

I tried coming off them recently, and almost immediately stopped sleeping. So I’m going to try phenergan to help with sleep.

I don’t really know why I’m typing this. I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Thanks for reading :)

    I can only imagine what it’s like to be on meds that affect your quality of life negatively both on and off the medication. I hope you consult your doctor before making drastic changes. Perhaps there is a dosage which provides a middle ground.

    Losing brain matter sounds scary at face value, but perhaps a doctor could explain whether it applies in every case and whether it is actually a big deal.

    Full disclosure, I lost a cousin to paranoid schizophrenia after he moved away and got off his meds, so I am biased.
