Carmina, this admission was involuntary, so I think they were within their rights. Actually, they injected me with Geodon, which I've been on for years, so at least I had no unexpected reactions. The administration of the injection was like One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest (how on earth do you spell cookoo?). Very frightening and traumatic...can't quite process it.

Thank you, everyone, for your support. I can't express how much it helps.

Oh...in case anyone thinks I'm arrogant, Sparky is my dog, and he is Smart. LOL

My typing is so fast because I was a medical transcriptionist (working from home for national companies) for years. This was a great job because it allowed me to keep my stressors to a minimum. Most of the work nowadays is offshored, so it's no longer a viable means of support.

Innerzone: Yes, I'm an experimenter. How could I NOT be? I mean, I know when I feel awful. If I know the specific drug that is likely to be the culprit, I decrease it, even when that means tapping powder out of a capsule. My pdoc knows that I can't bear to be controlled by chemicals, but he also knows that I'm not nonadherent just for fun...I just want to function again.
