>Very simply - what I put my "condition" down to is this - Certain traumas around my birth & childhood; lead to certain emotional & mental conditions. I took to drugs early on; primarily as a way of dealing with emotional/mental pain; & to ease how I felt. At most this caused the psychosis; & at the least it exasperated it.
>I strongly believe that I could have been far better helped through other more holistic methods; without such a focus on medication. & I feel I have been very damaged by the meds over the years; & made dependant on the Amisulpride. Long term I feel that these meds are doing me no good at all.
>The reaction to each withdrawal off the Amisulpride; I put down to "withdrawal psychosis" & is not the result of any underlying condition - but rather a rebound effect in the brain from this drug.
That all sounds very plausible to me.
What can you do apart from taking the bare minimum of amisulpride, whatever that is for you?
