Withdrawal...
Terra not enjoying herself, much like i'm not enjoying life right now.
I've been on antipsychotics for almost 5 years, Chlorpromazine...
Apparently its one of the hardest ones to withdraw from, but my doctor on Tuesday just gone, thought it was best to end my dosage cold turkey and continue low dosages of Rispiridone...
I've been shaking for days, I can't control my jerks, cramps and spasms...
After eating, my abdomen and guts start to spasm and it hurts...
I can only sleep, distract myself and shake.
I'll be like this for a week or two, depending on if I can boost my dosages of Rispiridone.
I keep having severe panic attacks which leave me in a state of paranoia/mania.
I can only lay here, drawing, playing games, shaking violently in spurts and twitches.
This hurts, its worse than I ever imagined...I feel confused and i'm like a lost soul wandering around, trying to function like a normal family member infront of my 13-14 year old brothers...
Mum knows i'm suffering...
Therapists and Doctors keep telling me i'm doing great...I can do this.
But its hard...
This is the hardest medication change of my life...
This is worse than when I came off effexor, even though when I came off that medication I was in a state of flu like symptoms for 3 weeks.
Just...eeh.

I've come off of Citalopram myself and honestly could barely function. My mother is on effexor herself and gets little zaps in her head sometimes.
You are doing so well and trying so hard, I hope the new medication works better for you. I know I don't comment much but I read your journals and well, You probably get comments like this a lot x.x but you are doing wonderful and I'm sure your brothers understand that what you're going through is horrific ;-; Just think of the light at the end of it all.
