Have any of you contacted each other off here? I am just curious b/c there are some ppl that I would love to actually talk with. Hope I'm not freaking anybody out it is just really difficult dealing with this and some ppl on here seem to understand so well. But, for me I communicate better on the phone, however that probably isn't possible, idk.

I think some folks have e-mail addresses they give out to some people, but I don't know about phone calls. And the private messages here.
I think people can also use the chat rooms for "private" conversations. Alas, being bipolar and lonely sometimes seem to go together. Please know that folks here certainly understand!

On the other site I belonged to, I talked on the phone with several people, with one in which I talk to maybe once or twice a week.
I had to have a talk with her because she was calling me 3 or 4 times a day and was driving me crazy. With the other people, it ruined our friendships. I will not talk on the phone with people because of this. I want to keep the friends I have on here and maybe talk to one or two of them on the phone once I get to know them better and we become good friends. I have actually talked to one person from here on the phone after we became FB friends when we met on this site. I have to get to know someone a lot before I will talk to them on the phone because I do not want to ruin any friendships.

Skyping is always an option to maintain privacy.

It looks as though most ppl just communicate this way. So here I go....I am feeling so up and down I had my meds changed and this is beginning to feel so draining. I start getting angry at my pdoc but when I see her she explains things so then I calm down. But when the meds don't work or create horrible side effects I get angry again until I see her. I was on 2mg Risperdal 1000 Depakote, 200 seroquel, a nighmare med, 10 mg citalopram, and thats all I think.
Now I am on 40 mg Latuda which made me feel horribly restless so she gave me Benedryl for that. 500 mg Depakote, coming off risperdal bc I hated the weight gain on it. Night mare med still and I think thats it. This whole thing has me wore out. Friday, I think bc I am coming off the risperdal I felt this horrible fear, inferior just awful. How do I get through this I am so tired of not being me. I want to be put on 40 mg citalopram a mood stabilizer and seroqueil. Instead she keeps saying no that with the antidepressant she is too afraid I will go manic or maybe back into a psychosis. I am just so frustrated sorry this is all over the place but I don't communicate well this way. How do you get through feeling like a lab rat? |

More-Yeah I just feel so all over the place. When I take my Latuda I get this awful fear like impending doom. So then I take Benadryl and Lorazapam to calm me down then fall asleep. I am so tired of not wanting to be awake just sleep. I think I'm in a depression and having anti psychotics thrown at me just make me worse. Thanks though for being there, or here I should say.

Saw pdoc today she said it is the withdrawal of coming off risperdal that is making me feel scared. It is getting better, I don't feel quite as freaked out today. Man this is exhausting let me tell ya. In 2 wks she is gonna do lab tests to make sure everything is okay as far as thyroid and all. My hair is falling out badly so she took me off depakote b/c it causes hair loss. I'm hangin' in.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time, passionskyy.
Hair loss would really stink as a side effect. I'd have a hard time with that - my hair is my one real vanity! I hope the changes help - keep hangin' in...

Have any of you had your anti psychotic make you horribly restless. I am on Latuda and every night I feel like I'm gonna jump out of my skin. My pdoc gave me congentin for which helps somewhat but not completely. I am thinking about just going off it it is Latuda.
I start not trusting my pdoc when yet another med has all these unwanted side effects. This whole thing is just exhausting trying to find the right med combo. |

I was given cogentin when I was taking abilify. I've experienced this with every antipsychotic I've taken. The cogentin made me feel sick to my stomach, I actually got sick. And the worst body stone feeling. I know in pretty sensitive to meds but yuck. I couldn't stand it.
