Cannabis induced psychosis

2024-01-02 04:41:31
I am suffering from this disease from 8 years. I hear voices, anxiety, panic attacks and all is there. All symptoms of schizophrenia are there. SSRIs like fluoxetine, escitalopram, sertaline and peroxetine were on me for 7 years.After that every SSRI stopped working after 1 month. So for 1 year I was tried by several doctors and SSRIs were prescribed but I didn't improve. Few months before I was prescribed oleanz plus. I took it for 4 months. It was just keeping away from my symptoms but my head was becoming heavy and eyes day by day were becoming heavy. So , I remembered that ones I was prescribed Lurasid 40 5 years and it has shown drastic improvement. So, I told it to my doctor. It's been 1 day I had it. I can't say anything in 1 day but I am feeling somewhat ok. But yesterday at night , when i had half of lurasid 40, there were uncontrolled movements in my body like in every 3 min sudden shaking was there. Suddenly heartbeat increase was there in every 3 min. What should I do now
