I explain from personal experience the side effects of both of these medications, and anti-psychotics in general. Yuck
Hi friends i want to start off this video by stating that i hate taking medication i hate all of it i’ve been on it for more than half my life since i was 15 years old i’ve been on medication and i especially hate antipsychotics they are so gross they make you so horrible and i feel like they’re so dangerous especially when i was on the older ones like haldol
And thorazine way back in the day well i mean those made me so sick they gave me like terrible jerks down my body they must really bad with my hormones they must was not just my whole system and gave me really bad jerk when i was on haldol i was still like this weird creepy feeling going down my body and then my whole body would jerk like that it was awful and
Thorazine it makes my blood pressure dropped so low that like i would pass out all the time in the hospital i was always passing out because my blood pressure would always drop some thorazine and one time i got a reaction and my eyes rolled up and i had like this and my whole head neck got stiff and all i could do was look up and my eyes were like as far up as they
Could roll in my head and i could not move them down i was stuck like that and i went to the nurse and they said oh you’re having a reaction and that’s okay we’ll just give you something to undo the reaction not like oh you’re having the reaction this medicine is bad for you but oh no we’ll just give you another medicine to undo the bad thing that this medicine
Is doing to you and of course the second medicine has its own side effects like giving you a really dry mouth so i really don’t like medication like psychiatric medication especially antipsychotic but i’ve been stuck on them for most of my life and this is how i feel i was on geodon for a few years and recently i got switched to abilify because i finally said i’m
Not taking this kid on anymore so you could shove it and i just stopped taking it when i stopped taking it it’s like things got really bad like i started having a lot like meltdowns and stuff like that but i feel like this is my body coming off the medicine and i had to just even out but they were blaming it on the fact that i wasn’t taking the geodon but that’s
Why i was having such a hard time but i feel like it was because of the geodon getting off of it was the shock to my body and my brain that i was going through this hard time of adjustment and that if i could have gone longer that i would have evened out and did better off i do take second medicine from my ocd i take a national and i am grateful for that medicine
Because it doesn’t really give me side effects and my ocd is so bad that i suffer so much that it’s a real relief and it will help to me so i don’t really have complaints about that medicine because i feel like it really does helped me and improve my life and with little little of size x or bad aspect but as far as the geodon it was awful it knocked me out it would
Knock me out after i took it like 20 minutes after i took it i was just knocked out i was good for nothing i had to go to sleep and it was also giving me not as severe as the house’ll but it was giving me that jerky feeling down my back and i recognized that feeling and i tried to tell the doctor he’s like oh no that’s enough from that isuzu booze you know how
The doctors just passed over the things that they don’t want to that they don’t want to acknowledge about the medication and just stick to the fact that you need to take it and now how much it’s helping you which i really wish they listed more about side effects and any strange effects that you feel like you’re having so anyways after a couple years on huge on i
Started to get really really depressed feeling and just like a zombie i felt like i had no feeling like i couldn’t feel anything i couldn’t feel happy i didn’t really get sad but that i didn’t really feel my happiness or any feeling and it was terrible because not having feelings it’s just not human i mean yet no one likes the lows of being sad or feeling bad or
Mad or angry or sad but that’s part of life and then you have the joys of being happy and excited and all those good feelings and i was having neither dose i was numb and the numbness got worse and they got to the point where i was so depressed that i was having some pretty bad thoughts and i was like i tried talking to the doctor about it that i feel as medicines
Making me depressed but all they would say was funny helps you so much look how well you’re doing yeah i’m doing locals i’m a zombie i’m just sitting here staring at the wall like i can’t even unglue myself from the wall i would just stare at things what kind of life is that it’s not a life so i took it in my own hands and i just stopped taking it and i stopped
Worrying about the pressure that everybody was putting me under to start taking it again i went through the hard time of being off of it and whatever effects it had on me and and how i was acting and i just stopped taking it so a little time went by and things were getting worse and worse for me as far as far as how i was doing you know in life it was just i was a
Real mess but again i think it’s just because my body is time to get off of it i still feel like i would even out eventually they kind of persuaded me and like everybody persuaded me to try taking this abilify because you know people have ways like people that you care about will like oh i’m disappointed in you and please take it please this please that so i said
Fine i’ll give it a try and i got to admit it’s been much better than jesus my my mood came up a lot and i felt better like then when i was on the geodon and it didn’t feel like it really took away my emotions as much but i do still feel that a little bit and i don’t really like that but it’s way less than it was with the geodon i don’t feel that jerky feeling that
I felt with geodon and i don’t get tired as a matter of fact i take it in the morning because i think it makes you not tired or on tired or like somehow energizes you or something so give it to me in the morning so that’s another good thing that it doesn’t make me sleepy because like almost all medications have the side effect of making you sleepy so that’s another
Good thing and helps me it has helped me do better i felt more positive a lot less depressed i don’t have the person but i was really depressed taking the g dodge so i think i just came back to my normal self which is usually a happy person because i’m a naturally happy positive optimistic person and i feel like i’m more of myself what i take abilify as opposed to
See adan it does sometimes i feel like my mouth i have like tremors in my mouth a little bit and i feel like it like my mouth like moves on its own sometimes like when i’m not talking and stuff a solar moving into my mouth and i get worried about that because i don’t want to be stuff like that but it’s not too bad so i think i will tell the doctor that probably
Just very moving but i will tell him so it’s been much better but the fact is i don’t like any psychotic medication none of them i don’t trust them i think they’re all bad for you i seem to do better when i take it but i don’t know if it’s really that medicine or just the fact that when i stopped taking it my body just is trying to recover and like detox from it
And it’s given enough time if i was just come back to my normal self and that’s an experiment i’ve never really had a chance to see through which i would like to see through someday it’s a matter of fact i’m getting it in my mind right now so might be on the verge of another medication revolt we’ll see but yeah i feel like a kid on vs. a pillow fight abilify wins
It’s a lot less harsh on my body on my mind i feel much more like myself like my normal self i don’t feel like i’m being changed into something else that i’m not i’ve been doing really well since i’ve been taking it so haven’t had any real problem and so i do feel better when you take medication every time you have like a weird thought or a weird look on your face
Or anything that seems a little strange to somebody like did you take your my case did you take your net and it’s so daring things it just makes me angry i can’t stand it it feels like you know i am a human being i am allowed to like very in emotion and very in the things i do and say i’m not a robot that should you should be able to predict everything about me
You know and that’s what another thing i don’t like taking about meds is higher family and friends act about it like when they think you didn’t take them because of something you said or something you did or certain move that you’re in and they just want to blame it on medication and some you know the thing is i’m all human being i’m complex i’m a human being and
I’m not just a zombie that takes medicine sometimes i feel like you take medicines for other people and not for yourself because they want you to act a certain way or they want you to be in a certain state all the time or you know they want it but i like when i don’t take the medicine especially into that cause because i feel like i have my whole mind like my
Full creativity and of course there’s all the other stuff that comes along with it that’s not so fun but i don’t mind it so much because i like having my mind the way it is i like i like all the creative things i think all the funny things that i end up saying and stuff like that so it’s really it’s really hard because i don’t want to have bad days but i want to
Be myself so it’s a hard line so getting back to the subject of p-dogs words it’s abilify abilify when sudan horrible and if your doctor tries to put you on jude on i would tell you write it and i wouldn’t take it if you’ve been prescribed it is a terrible medication it’s way too strong and i read a lot of things online of experiences and seeing videos of other
People having terrible experience with it and i really think it really hurt my mind and it made me unnecessarily depressed and zombie like for a long time until i finally revolted and was like no more i’m not taking this anymore so i warned you against taking that or if you know someone who takes it and there still is really depressed or they just seem like they
Just sit there and don’t do anything it’s a lot a good chance maybe it it’s good to look into the fact that maybe there’s geodon making you feel that way yeah so i want to say that i guess this is kind of like a medication review but it’s my honest feeling jamya my to experience with both of them that i have so that’s about that if you like my videos and you want
