What should I be including in my treatment plan besides a psychiatrist and a therapist to aid in my recovery. What medication and coping mechanisms has helped you deal with the effects of these symptoms ? How can I get myself back on my feet and work towards being functional again ?

Do you experience debilitating chronic fatigue, where even the loudest alarms won’t wake you up ? Do you have fatigue to point of being slumped over in the bathroom or on the couch, unable to move ? Throughout the day I’m left in a vegetative state. I rarely go outside, and when I do I’m extremely slow moving and waddling. This is unusual for me, and symptoms started appearing 7 months ago. I take 15 mg of Adderall for my ADHD, and that use to give me a spurt of energy, but not enough to get up and initiate tasks. I also use medical marijuana for PTSD. 

I’m recovering from a 6 month long episode of psychosis with remnants of it for another 5 months. I have quite a few conditions and I’m trying to get assessed for ASD, but the psychosis is at the forefront of my mind from how it derailed my life. 

I’m currently bedridden. I lie on the couch all day with no energy to move. I just stay on my phone and wander through YouTube. I was called sluggish and slow moving. I was told my speech is slower as well. I have brain fog, and my memories are clouded. I don’t speak much, and my facial reactions don’t change. I find it hard to shower, brush my teeth, and wash my hair due to sensory differences, and the crippling fear of grime and germs in the bathroom. I don’t have the energy to cook for myself, so I’ve been ordering out. I have gained weight taking Risperdal, but when I was taken off it, poor eating habits sustained the weight gain.

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on 6/13/22. I currently take an Invega injection, 10 mg of Fluoxetine, and the others previously mentioned. I’m going to go over it with her but I don’t know what medication combination will work best. best.
