ROFL! I was wondering about both.

I am glad you have a plan with which you are comfortable.

Geodon is pretty good. I mostly take it for psychosis though. Been on it since 2010. Make sure to go up slow on it. One time my old pdoc raised it too fast and i had 2 seizures. fun stuff.

Is geodon another one you have to eat with? It might be. I’m not sure. I know you do with latuda.

In any case I surely hope it helps you, and quickly!!! You deserve some relief.

It might knock you out in the AM. I take 40 mg in the AM and 240 mg in the PM (i don't recommend that haha. the FDA limit is 160 mg and it's always a pain to get my prescription authorized at the beginning of the year). It makes me so tired all the time. I wish I could get away with taking it 1 time a day but I get withdrawals if I don't take it twice a day. I take nuvigil to stay awake during the day. I swear when i take morning meds I could take a nap after, but my t says to stay awake all day. blah blah blah. Anyways, hope it helps. It's just kinda strong, so be careful doing things the first few days.

Not tired after the am dose (so far)

I just hope it helps so somehow soon !

The 350 calories twice a day is going to be tough tho.

Maybe I shouldn't laugh, but the door thing is hilarious because that's totally something I would do.

I remember one time I kicked a huge @ss dent in my apartment fridge door because it was pissing me off. (It was stainless steel too, so the dent showed very well. lol.) I also kicked the side of the fridge... repeatedly. Then when the maintenance guy came in (cos my fridge stopped working... *surprise surprise*), he looked at the dent and then the side of the fridge, but didn't say anything. This was like 4 years ago.

R.I.P. fridge that wasn't mine

Rip in pieces

I have problem with the am 40mg dose, I dont even have a extended blink ... But the night one.... Holy hell it has knocked me right out. Long before I need bed , So I will take my PM meds minus that one and take it later. Im sure the knock me out deal will quickly pass.

Im still just as rageful but its only been a couple days and I really want to stay out of IP here.

Im sure when we move back to Tennessee in 6 months I will wind up IP there at Vanderbilt, Its always been a wonderful place when I need it. All the mess of Uhauls and all the packing will sling me sideways.

But hey at least I will miss winter this year lol Gotta try to find a silver lining somehow, i guess.

My Fibro is almost as a 10 I feel like I am being skinned alive Ugh Ugh Ugh Ugh... I already took a pain pill of my husbands not that it helps the pain it just numbs my brain down a bit .. I hate Fibro. Its a horrible illness, That is what usually drives me go IP so I can stay safe, when it gets this bad I just would prefer to die

Broke down and took one of hubbys Pain meds it never lessons the pain but I get a bit buzzy so I am able to focus on something besides the Pain for a lil while. There is never a point going to the ER they see “ Bipolar “ and “fibro” and I get told here’s 1 Ativan goodbye, hell I have benzos at home . Useless!

Pain is back to a 9 so I will manage it somehow.

Anyone the deals with nonstop pain and Bipolar I feel for you I really do .

I think my fibromyalgia pain is as equal as my rage-yness .

So maybe everything has hit the upper ceiling and down I will drift?

I’m going to focus on things improving. Can’t seem to get worse , right?

All I want to do is go back to bed.. But I refuse. I need to clean my house. It wont make the pain better or worse.

I clean everyday so it only takes 10 ~15 mins at most and that is if I go slow... Good to have one OCD thing to deal with.

Geodon has been useless this far , I have little patience to hurry up and wait.

Thanks for all the support it means alot
