Coming off anti psychotic drugs

Hello my name is Julie. My son was kind of diagnosed while in hospital under a ton of antipsychotic drugs. He doesn't have learning difficulties, but these drugs makes it look like it to anyone watching on, although they think something is not quite right. After 13 years of drugs, this one that one. It is finally skimming the surface of being said he hasn't psychosis, he is Autistic and OCD and anxiety is a problem. He is off drugs, but the brain is fighting through withdrawals and trying to reclaim himself, like speech, his memory, his skills, where he could teach himself foreign languages very easily before drugs and emotions are all mixed us. He is sleeping right now and I found this forum. Hope there is someone else out there like me and coming out the other side.

  • Thankfully, I never went down the drug path, but so feel for you.

    So glad to hear he's coming off them. Antipsychotics can do horrors to a non-psychotic mind, never mind an autistic non-psychotic mind.

    His brain has a major adjustment to make now to recover, but have faith and patience. Your lad will re- emerge out of this in a while.

    Whoever put him on them in the first place wants shooting - metaphorically, of course.

  • they need to be sued for damages from their incompetance and struck off the medical license.
