I'm going to try and go without my Haldol injection. I will still take valium for sleep and PRN Thorazine (which has a lot more tolerable side effects for me than Haldol though I am still taking a risk due to it's anticholinergic effects and having a recent history of urinary retention so I will keep it to PRN use). I'm supposed to get the injection in exactly a week and I'm already feeling it's effects wear off. I've noticed the meds that are supposed to last 4 weeks (Invega Sustenna, Abilify Maintenna) last 3 weeks, and Risperdal Consta lasted more like 10 days instead of two weeks so this is pretty typical, at least for me.

I feel like I'm doing really well for the first time in a while. I don't feel manic, depressed, paranoid, or anything intense really. Maybe anxious but I have had two cups of coffee today which is a lot for me considering I haven't had any caffeinated beverages in a couple months.
