Schizophrenia Treatment – Five Dangers by Stopping Taking Your Drugs
I keep receiving many e-mails and phone calls; from consumers whom are asking me whether it is a good idea to stop taking your drugs since those people feel well and ok now. My answer to them is – Don’t dare to do so! It can become your worst nightmare in the recent years.
Here are 5 dangers of stopping taking your psychiatric drugs:
1) Reoccurring psychosis
By stopping taking your pills, you can obviously feel ok in the near future to come, but as soon as you get your first minor crisis, the trigger would be activated and you would go into even worse psychotic disorder than ever.
2) Vulnerability
When you take your psychiatric medication, your body is less sensitive and less vulnerable to surrounding mental dangers of your daily life. Your drugs function as a life vest, defending your soul from ups and downs in your daily routine. If you take this life jacket of, then your body becomes more sensitive to its surroundings when every small change can trigger a psychotic disorder.
3) Your positive symptoms comes back
One of the major effects of anti psychotic drugs on people who suffer from schizophrenia is preventing what is called the positive symptoms. These are the same symptoms that cause you delusions, hearing voices, paranoia and like living in a dream. Be certain that if you stop taking your pills, it would be a matter of short time until they rise again.
4) Your negative symptoms comes back
One of the good influences of psychiatric drugs on your illness is the preventing of your schizophrenia negative symptoms. If you stop taking your anti psychotic drugs, then your negative symptoms come back and take control of your daily life and activity.
5) Loosing achievements
By taking your psychiatric drugs, you can obviously continue with your daily routine, conquering more and more goals in your life and keeping the progress in your mental health improvement. There is no doubt in the fact that stopping taking your psychiatric drugs, would cause you loosing those great achievements that you worked so hard for them.
