reducing anti-psychotic medication

[thelord's_pearl]

hi everyone, So I spoke to my psychiatrist and she said that I could try reducing my dose 0.25mg/week and that sounds intense as I've never reduced it per week but more like 1-3 months later so she said medically it doesn't show to be a problem but she didn't say clinically it has not been a issue. I hope it goes well as I increased it from 1.75mg to 7.5 as a backup bc I got extraordinary OCD relating to bad things and events after switching to another medication and I took the anti-psychotic to begin with due to extreme feelings of anxiety about two situations. I've been sleeping too much on this dose and feeling unmotivated so I hope this works and prayers are answered in my favor. Thank you all for your spirit-filled prayers for this to work. I only want true Christians to pray for me, those who believe that we are saved by grace through faith and works led by the Spirit, blessings

No, I don't want it to be complicated. I summarized it well. I hate it myself when I see a lot of writing and I'm not motivated so I made mine as short as possible, thanks a lot.

The Lord spoke this to me a while ago. Take some of it, all of it, none of it, and be encouraged.

Seek a reason to unwind.
In this season, you will find,
Give to others and it will seem,
That you are living in a dream.

While you're down there on your knees,
I will listen to your pleas.
When you go, I'll be with you,
So others will be made brand new.

Just before you pass away,
I will save you from the grave.
Seek the Lord with all your heart,
And I will bless you from the start. - Truman Coates

I often reach the point where I need to stop thinking and start listening.
