@June08, it's so nice to see you back, and I hope you do decide to stick around here. It's a great community, and so nice to have new members. I'm also glad that your medication change so far seems positive. I think for many Risperdal is a bit more side effect friendly than Zyprexa. I also remember Risperdal being helpful for my moodstabilization.

@Sunflower123, please do get checked out if your post fall discomfort continues. Though you'll likely be fine after a day or so, sometimes unexpected negative stuff does happen. When my husband and I were having our new home renovated I requested that a shower bar be added. Even though I'm only 52 and still in reasonably good shape, I do worry about falls. It does get a little slippery in there sometimes so I'm glad I have it. I even bought a very pretty foldable wooden shower chair for it.

@bizi, I hope the temperatures ease a bit. I'm sorry to read that many are dealing with uber hot heat.

@Crazy Hitch, I'm sending positive vibes that your flu symptoms will suddenly ease significantly. Sometimes that happens at the end of long flues and colds. My last cold was a humdinger and went on for many days. Then one day it was nearly gone after the day prior still seemed a bit bad.

@MuddyBoots, I hope the naltrexone will soon ease your cravings better. Do you take the pill form or an injection? Long ago when I was struggling with alcohol cravings, an IOP psychiatrist prescribed the pill form for me. I'll admit that it did little for me, but obviously it does for many. Then years later a doctor said the injection form might serve my father well. He said in some ways its efficacy was even better than the pill form. Plus, there was no forgetting to take it as an issue, which applied to my dad. I think I mentioned that after the naltrexone that the IOP pdoc prescribed Campral (acomprosate) pills for me. That was more helpful for my cravings, but I believe its more strictly for alcohol cravings, than both drug and/or alcohol.
