I'm home for the weekend. Monday is the 5th week I have been in the hospital. My pdoc was putting me on really old AP's that just left me sleeping and eating. I finally told him I refused to take those kinds of meds anymore. I said try me on something without the nasty side effects or nothing at all. He sent me home with Latuda, I feel so much clearer and haven't had any hallucinations for over a week. I'm really hoping next week is my last.

I'm so glad you are feeling better. I hope this med does the trick. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. You've been through so much this summer.

What a wonderful day. What a horrible night. The demons are everywhere.

Can you call the hospital for a dose increase? Something you could start now while you are home?

I only have a blister pack. I can't take more. Doc said if I have any issues to go straight back to the hospital.

How are you doing? Did you sleep? Are you going to go back to the hospital in the morning?
I can't imagine how frustrating this must be.

Great news, fairies. Personally, I found Latuda to be one of the better meds.

You absolutely have to be your own advocate. Treatment and medication vary from person to person. You know yourself best.
I am so glad you are feeling better my friend and proud of how hard you have fought for yourself. |

I woke up this morning feeling great. I can't figure out mixed episodes. I can switch so fast it gives me whiplash.

Pdoc keeps telling me I have many mixed episodes. I don't know. I don't even care anymore. I just want to feel better. What I mean is, mixed sucks.
