I'm not sure. If so, would it be possible to find a way to do that if it meant not having to eat the window trim? I know you have a problem getting meds down, but if there's a way...

fwiw, I rejected zyprexa because of the increased food cost, as well a weight gain. I don't think it's unreasonable to negotiate. Just make sure you talk to your pdoc or mh nurse before making any adjustments.

I understand the food craving issue on APs
When i was on seroquel it was a wonder drug for me but i gained so much weight so fast on it. I also heard geodon is the best weight neutral ap

So the nurse called back she was extremely rude from the start. Basically I have to deal until I see him change dose. They do walk in's but she was so rude that I never want to call them again and I won't go in.

Choose between stability and a brief period of dealing with an a-hole. I personally would choose stability.

The thing is when dealing with a rude people makes me blank out. I feel stableish at least with the bipolar aspects.

So I've been on the 7.5 mg again for almost a week. I'm still having thoughts that I should dissect my arm I "know" that it's not a good idea but it's a constant thought. The day is way to long, I'm so board. I'm can't seem to distract myself. I'm even take a nap every day and still it's way to long. I am not going to act on it. This happens to me often I just ignore it. I'm going crazy....again.

Is this psychosis?
could it be akathisia setting in?

I see new T Monday.

I used to have thoughts like that, but with the right meds and therapy they seemed to go away. Remember it is just a thought and you do not have to act on it, nor dwell on it. Observe the thought and move past it. Doesnt sound like psychosis or akathisia but Im no doctor (yet).

The meds can take up to 6 weeks to be effective, it is not that long in the scheme of things. Try not to diagnose every symptom, just let them be, observe and wait it out for a few more weeks to see if these meds are really going to work for you.
Thanks for this!

I'm going to walk in Tuesday. Sit there all day in hopes to see a pdoc. I'm tired, drained, twitching, have no sex drive. I'm told I'm depressed I think I'm just quiet. My t wanted me to call the med line but that was no help before. I don't want to become psychotic or suicidal. I'm just quiet, board and tired, si has entered my mind but its a fleeing thought. My husband says I'm becoming more and more withdrawn.

My parents are still here so I didn't go to wait. I did see T today though. We went through the last week, what negative thoughts I was having, who it would effect if I did Sui, all his missteps so far and my wonderful ability to act. So I deal with this crap for another month.
