Re: side effects

is that a cardiac problem? @Angels333  Hope it can be managed and better meds found.

Take care.

Re: side effects

Yes I'll see my psychiatrist tomorrow and hopefully there's a plan in place.

Re: side effects

Yes a routine ECG came back with this issue. When I read about the side effects it showed less than 1% of people get it.I am feeling nauseous and headaches from quick withdrawal.

Re: side effects

 All the best for your appointment today @Angels333, hope there's some better news for you!

Re: side effects

I'm probably at the tail end of withdrawal, a little unwell mentally, seeing my dr in the city at 3. I'm sitting in a cafe waiting and praying there's a good solution

Re: side effects

So, once again I am happy with my dr. The symptoms are unpleasant but expected. He didn't panic about the ecg, he said to have another done tomorrow whilst I'm on the lower dose and hopefully the Qtc is normal. Then he will titrate the antipsychotics up testing along the way. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Re: side effects

Thankful to people on the forum taking an interest. I think it's not an everyday problem less than 1% getting this side effect.
