The last time my meds were adjusted i thought i was good, ready to move forward with life while i waited for one on one therapy. this was a month ago and im on a downward spiral. im safe no thoughts of harming myself but im bending over backwards to ease the pain but in all the wrong ways. i know i shouldnt but i do stupid **** regardless of the consequenses. Am I missing something? Am I not ready for life in the real world yet?

((((Pink Girl)))) I'm sorry you're struggling. Perhaps ask your Pdoc if there are any side effects to the meds you're taking. Perhaps it isn't the right combination. How are things going with your therapist?

Is doing "...stupid **** regardless of consequences" a symptom of illness for you? I am so sorry you are in such pain. WC __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths.

Meds take awhile to work (up to 6, 8 weeks), not sure how long you have been on yours. Is this the first time you've been on meds? It can take awhile to find the right cocktail. I'm 20 years in the psych system and still looking for the right combination, though the meds have been adjusted enough that they help more than they did in the beginning and with fewer side effects. It is not an exact science. And if you've had other things like life stress or illness (even something as simple as a sinus infection), I think it affects the whole equilibrium of everything.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
