Stress (ED trigger)

So my med change has left me anxious and have restarted "bad" habits. My husband's family is now around and ALWAYS talking about weight loss. It's not directed at me but it sure feels it. I'm struggling as I do this time of year given Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up. So if I do say **** it and become the best anorexic possible it won't be out of character as a stress induced mixed episode is coming soon. At least I'm not hearing ED voices since abilify. If my ed becomes raging a med change will be required. On top of that I can no longer find a pharmacy that doesn't have the stupid triangle Lamictal, which I can't take. So possibly a med change there. Which is adding to an additional stress. Plus I'm trying to save for an Xbox one for my son for Christmas. I'm smoking again which is not cost effective. I don't see pdoc until November and hopefully I've stockpiled enough circle shaped Lamictal until then. I have no idea how to approach all this. I'm thinking a nutritionist maybe in order but I don't know how to find one and if my insurance even covers one. How do I deal with all this stress?

When I took those gigantic stupid shaped pills that for some reason Big Pharma wouldn't spend a penny or two to add a slick coat to help it go down my Pdoc said it was fine to use a pill cutter.

Ask your Doctor /Nurse/Pharmacist about it.

ED stress and the Holidays? I am still trying to figure out my battle plan.. I'm thinking just stick with healthy stuff as much as humanly possible, If someone is talking bout weight gain or dieting .. You can pretty much assume they are talking about themselves not you.

Can you trade your smokes for mints or go old school and soak wooden toothpicks in cinnimon or peppermint oil, Give your mouth something to do .

If you come up with any great ED ideas fling them my way

I'll try the mints. Of course if I figure something out I'll fling it your way.

Could you get your prescription switched to 2x100mg instead of 1x200mg (or something like that) to get around the triangle pill issue? I've never seen the 50 mg in that shape.

I found a pharmacy that sells circles. So now I have to switch over yet again to yet ànother pharmacy. I made an appointment for a nutritionist referral but then I have to be honest with the dr everyone here (my newish team) thinks my ed is a former problem since I don't "look the part". T does know i can go days without eating but we came to an agreement of at least eating/drink every other day or I'd go get fluids day 3,grrr. Now I have to tell everyone.
