Anyone here taken them? I've been on sertraline for a few months now but it has only sorted my constant replaying off trauma in my head. Glad that's gone, but I am far too emotionally reactive still and cannot get my life together.I want something that will stop me thinking and simply be able to do the tasks I need to do. I need to not have my mind and emotions control me. Thinking of asking for quetiapine.
don'tjust don'tyou don't want antipsychotics unless you absolutely need them and have no alternativethey suuuuuuuuuuck
>>34558722OK but I read quetiapine at a very low dose can tackle emotional reactivity and stuff. I'm too old to put up with this shit anymore. I can't control my actions, and spend all day everyday mired in my thoughts and emotions. I need a space between myself and my mind and emotions.
not an AP but mood stabilizers are nice. im on lamotrigine for bipolar but i think they prescribe it for bpd too
>>34558697I hated Seroquel. I don't think you want to feel that level of dulled out. For me the sedative effect made me useless I couldn't do the tasks I needed to do I couldn't do anything because I couldn't think. I definitely got the sedation and fatigue side effects, weight gain, and dry mouth.
>>34558697If you don't have schizophrenia, never take antipsychotics.I've taken several: risperidone, haloperidol, olanzapine, quetiapine.I gained 16 kg on antipsychotics. I've had no motivation whatsoever, no desire to do absolutely anything. And antipsychotics literally shrink your brain, look it up.
>>34558697My experiences with antipsychotics were all awful. I hate them with a passion.
