Adding low-dose Abilify to Wellbutrin and citalopram seems to be helping some with the depression. Time will tell.

I am grateful.

Love to all!

I'm doing a little better on Paxil. But I'm so scared about weight gain and later on withdrawals when or if I need to get off it, that It's affecting the effectivity of the med.
So far, I have dry mouth (gum) and constipation (prunes). Also a lot of movement with my tongue and slowness. I think is not much to start a new med. We'll see if it is the placebo effect or is really working. Good Night to All.

Starting to come out of a deep depression. Have been beginning to feel better since Sunday and Monday I started TMS. Only had 2 of the 21 treatments so far but it is easy and non-invasive. Apparently it can take 10 or so treatments before benefits show which brings me hope as I still need a lift in mood.

Had a test at university yesterday and did surprisingly well. Not the best I could do but considering the circumstances (I was very depressed and suicidal until Sunday) I am pleased. My lecturer is also being very accommodating with my illness so that is a relief too. Busy week with appointments, TMS, seeing family and friends, going to the gym and study. It helps to pass the time which can feel like the clock is going backwards while IP.

BIG HUGS to everyone!

I got a 90 on the assignment I thought I screwed up royally. I don't know how as I didn't even follow the template for it. But I'll take it.

Tomorrow I find out if I have a job or not. I'm going to ask them about the rice notice. We'll see.

I've had a pounding headache today, all day. It made me especially paranoid, because I wondered if this was related to the eclipse yesterday, since my eyes feel kind of irritated when I get a headache....but I did use protective eye wear, but I'm still super paranoid that they were covering everything completely, but I'm aware it might all be in my head, since I always jump to worst-case-scenario. I can't relax over it though. I'm also feeling really irritable, upset about everything. Some of it can be hormonal.

So I just had my pdoc appointment today and I am a little nervous. He just prescribed me Risperdal. I don't know what dose. Its a little nerve wracking for me. I can't really help it. I am trying to put faith into people I meet. People on here is a little different. I've met people on here already and I defenitly do trust people enough on here. You all deal with the same stuff as me, but with a person face to face, its different.

I have a question all. I wanted to review my medications, but it says I don't have permission. When does that start? And as for the friend thing, it is really hard. I am trying and I am sure that everyone has just as much the same interest, its just...whenever some people are doing something, they don't bother asking me or I don't even know they had plans. Or say I ask someone to catch a flick...they tell me they might be busy tomorrow and that I need to talk to them. What would anyone make of these? Please pm me if possible.

Woke 2am eye glued shut. Stye sucks. Salt water compressing the crap out of it, literally. More compresses this morning. Heading to work now with clean cloths, salt and bowl. Good grief.

That will be plenty of time. 3-4 days will probably be sufficient to have you feeling back to 90%. Enjoy the opiates!

Where are you trying to review your meds? on an internet portal? Where you can visit your doctors office visit?
You should be able to get a copy of your meds, that is a right you have.
It is important for you to beable to review them.
Good luck, call the office and talk to the nurses there.

All us girls at work are going to lunch today, should be nice...pizza and I love pizza. I'm struggling with anxiety today probably because of tomorrow's meeting with HR, they can't fire me because I'm union so they would have to go through a disciplinary process but I have a feeling they are going to start that process with me. I really think I've had Drs notes for my non fmla time but thinking I may have taken more fmla days than my intermittent fmla covers. My fmla approves me for 4 days a month and I may have exceeded that the last two months. I mean realistically, how can you guess how many days I'm going to be too sick to work. There is no way to predict that. Anyway I don't think this is going to be good and I really feel picked on. Talk about kicking a ***** while she's down!!

Renewed my Lunesta prescription and planned meals for the next week and a half. Looked over homework for next week. Ugh!

Otherwise chilling out. Worried that I won't get a facial though the last one felt good. I'm seeing my dermatologist next week. I'll have her check my face again.

Mood is okay although I'm still somewhat anxious about the rest of the week.

Does making an omelet count as cooking dinner? It was all I could manage. I ate leftovers the last two days. My goal was to cook dinner three times this week. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow but salmon is pretty easy. Stick it in the oven with lemon juice, butter, garlic, and dill. I'll probably be able to manage that. I'm hoping I'll sleep well tonight and wake up refreshed and not down again. I seem to be cycling on a daily basis. But I know I'm depressed today bc I only got four hours sleep. That always upsets me so much.

Wish me luck for sleep tonight.

Sure, omelets count!

I have been experiencing insomnia, too.

I hope we all sleep in peace tonight!

This week started out well, but today I felt like ****. I wanted to sleep as much as possible. I was a complete bum. I skipped my class tonight as well. My anxiety has returned and I'm so frustrated. Once the anxiety kicks in, it fuels the depression and it's downhill from there. And the fact that I'm overwhelmed with bills doesn't help.
Has anyone noticed a difference in mood if the brand of their med has changed? I think the generic risperdal from this pharmacy is not as effective as what I was taking before (also generic).

I'm teetering on the edge of sanity. Part of me wants to dive into the deep end and I'm not sure why. That must be the sick side of me talking. Maybe it's not too late to save myself, but every day I feel myself sinking a little more.
