I saw my psychiatrist this morning and he thinks my main mood stabilizer has stopped working. He also wants to change my anti-psychotic. I am frustrated and scared because medication changes are physically dangerous because of my medication sensitivities. The last medication change took a year in hospital. I want to stop everything and burn out like a firework. Just enjoy myself and die, but that won't work. It isn't even rational. I'm just feeling trapped between a rock and a much bigger rock. I've tried coming off my medications, I am all for it, but it just didn't work. I am scared of new medications and new side effects. I am scared.

How do you feel when you have to have medications changed?

Worried about becoming lethargic, so many of them have this effect on me.

Usually I am looking for a change when I get sick or side effects are bad. This last change has made a positive difference for me in 2 weeks. A month ago I began the depressive phase of my cycle, I'm coming out of it finally.

I am horrible at med changes! I have trouble taking it, resent meds for months, and other similar issues. I have trouble with my sons med changes too
