Consider a Holistic Approach to Lybalvi Withdrawal
No one, especially someone in a weakened and fragile state should have to maneuver through Lybalvi withdrawal alone. The withdrawal process must be done very slowly. That is of paramount importance. But utilizing holistic strategies can provide a multitude of ways to greatly ease the process and make it less arduous.
At Alternative to Meds Center, we assist Lybalvi withdrawal with an abundance of holistic therapies that can soften and ease what might otherwise be unwieldy and difficult to tolerate. Coming off antipsychotic medications must be done precisely and gradually to overcome the changes related to regaining dopaminergic stability. Done in the context of the natural restoration of balance, the process becomes much easier to tolerate and less subject to erratic or unpredictable events.
Dopamine hypersensitivity is the technical name for the wild reactions that can occur in antipsychotic withdrawal as the dampening effects of drug therapy begin to lift. Just as a driver needs to carefully descend a steep slippery slope by applying adequate braking, neurotransmitter rehabilitation can be the ‘brakes’ that provide safety and confidence. At Alternative to Meds Center, many strategies help to stabilize eating, sleeping, and general mood before any dose reductions are made so that stability is the focus right from the start. Orthomolecular medicine as well as many therapeutic and evidence-based holistic therapies are used in this process.
Tips for Planning Lybalvi Withdrawal
There may be a great need for time to rest and recuperate without the pressures of work or home life. Inpatient treatment affords this time and space. If possible, plan on inpatient treatment but choose a facility that understands your goals and that you feel confident in the approach that will be used. Ask questions freely before you begin, and it may help to ask someone you trust to guide you in selecting a program you feel is a right fit for you.
Coming off heavy medication needs a group effort. Before starting the process, one should consider the advantages of putting a contract for safety in place. This is sometimes called a Ulysses contract, where you and your care partners make an agreement, in writing, and signed by you, so that if you suddenly veer from your treatment goals or decide not to follow the doctor`s orders, you understand hospitalization or the police may need to be involved for your safety and those around you. Spiraling out of control can thus be prevented by the use of such a contract, to help you keep yourself safe.20
Cautions and Concerns About Lybalvi Withdrawal
One of the biggest concerns about coming off medication is going too fast. At Alternative to Meds Center, you have over 40 professionals to coordinate with and ensure that the process is going at a tolerable and comfortable rate. Daily consultations keep your progress well-monitored so that any microchanges can be implemented easily and without delay. A wide variety of therapeutic, relaxation, and recreational opportunities as well as peer support programs are in place during your stay.
It may be wise to consider a facility like Alternative to Meds Center, which has direct access to hospitalization in the rare case that it may be needed, for any unexpected medical situations that may arise.
Many persons can eventually eliminate antipsychotic drug therapy. It may not be possible for every person to entirely eliminate their medication in a few months. We understand this and aim to reduce the dosage as much as possible while maintaining a desirable quality of life, and will coordinate with your medical caregiver so that when you return home, you can continue your program under their care to reach your end goal.
What is Lybalvi Prescribed to Treat
According to the FDA drug label, Lybalvi is approved to treat schizophrenia in persons over the age of 13, and Bipolar 1 in adults. As with all medications, off-label uses of antipsychotics are not uncommon. Some known circumstances include eating disorders, cases of extreme agitation, chemo-induced nausea, and delirium. It should be noted that Lybalvi is contraindicated in persons who are elderly and suffer from dementia, and also for anyone currently using or dependent upon opioids.2,21
