It's too bad I can't take lithium anymore, the one med that actually helped somewhat, but f***ed my kidneys up. I can't think of a single med combo I've been on that helped and was tolerable other than risperdal which worked for 2 years then just stopped working after giving me full on delirium (and yes, the term "delirium" is in my medical notes it was that bad).
I've already taken my max dose of valium for the day, hell, did that before 11AM. I even took a risk and took .5mg cogentin (I'm told to take in emergencies only because it gives me urinary retention so I'll probably be in the ER getting straight cath'd later anyways).
I'm not getting my next injection. No way. I can't deal with this.

I’m so sorry your dealing with such hellish side effects. Hopefully your NP will find something that will be more tolerable. Hang in there
