Can atypical antipsychotics(AAP) harm tupla?

I have trouble sleeping and the doctor gave me a prescription containing atypical antipsychotics. Will it harm my tupla?

I personally have not taken any AAPs, but we have heard some stuff on drugs and we are currently taking an SSRI.

 

Sometimes drugs can make it harder for you and your tulpa to communicate and sometimes they don't. Regardless, I think it's more important for you to accept the drug your doctor prescribes you if the side effects don't bother you too much, worst case scenario you and your tulpa can find a new way to communicate.

 

I have never heard of medicine hurting tulpas. The one experience that I heard about that comes to mind is one tulpa who felt she merged with her host during an LSD trip. However, the affects were temporary and she returned to normal after the trip.

Is this normal in your country?

Atypical antipsychotics should not be prescribed just because you have trouble sleeping. Only for severe disorders like schizophrenia.

Yes, antipsychotic drugs can extinguish a tulpa, just as they are designed to extinguish hallucinations in psychotically ill patients. You should discuss this with your doctor and he should know that you value your tulpa and have created it intentionally. (If this is true) It may be that the doctor believes that your tulpa is a sign of psychosis. (That may be true as well, but, if so, you should consult a psychiatrist who knows a lot about psychotic dysfunction and can work with you about the issue. If you do not have a diagnosis which includes psychosis, then you should ask your doctor to try some other medication or better yet a CBT behavioral technique to help you sleep.

   Yeah, seems strange that they would give you antipsychotics to help with sleep. If they are actually antipsychotics to help you sleep and there isn't more to this, they're probably not too intense. If the doctor did prescribe you antipsychotics, you should probably take them. I haven't heard of anyone's tulpas being negatively affected by them- at most, you may have trouble hearing them or something while they adjust. They should have enough substance behind them to keep them present.
