I'm feeling better! I did more cleaning that's i've been procrastinating on. My home gets yet more tidy! I was actually having such a hard time doing my chores that i looked into having a cleaning lady in. But now i don't have to! Is the Wellbutrin kicking in? It's the third week... Or the warmer temps? A combination? Whatever. Just glad that smothering depression has passed.

Not as low as yesterday. Feeling a little better.

I'm not taking good care of myself lately. I need to eat better and try to walk or something.

Well I made it through the day. Suffered with self harm thoughts for a good portion of the morning then settled into the numb depression of yesterday. I don’t know what my problem is. I’m so frustrated. It’s like a damn light switch. All of a sudden I wake up and I’m plunged into darkness. No trigger that I can see. I hate it. I just want normalcy.

I never started the emsam that my dr gave me last month because I felt better from the increase in haldol. Now I think I’m going to start it but I have to wait three days because I’ve been taking a decongestant and they have a severe interaction with MAOIs. It’ll take about three days for the decongestant to get completely out of my system. I see my pdoc on Tuesday so maybe I should hold off and ask him when I see him. I don’t know if I can do this for that long though. I’m already getting self harm and suicidal thoughts.

I’m such a ****ing baby. Some of you suffer with depression for months and after two days I’m like wah wah I want to die. I don’t know why I’m so dramatic.

I'm so sorry for you both . hang in there.

Well I'm having misgivings about my t. She seems like she's not strong enough to handle my issues. She's anorexic and just seems weak in all ways. I've been seeing her about a yr. I just got off the phone with her her supervisor and he said give it some time as we are going to be starting emdr soon. If I'm still not feeling it, call him back. I'm willing to give it some time.

My back has really been hurting lately. Chronic pain sucks!

My son is doing better although he obsesses on things. He's really obsessed with politics. I'm into politics too, but he just goes on and and on.

Hugs to those that need them.

I think tomorrow will be better and I’ll meet her on Thursday.


Warm wishes and hugs to all.


Hope your feeling better soon

I’m the same about seeing my daughter , she’s 12-13 hours away.

Can you call you Pdoc and get a increase on Haldol ? That usually works quickly.

Please stay safe.

Your not a baby !!!! Depression really throws you into a tailspin. It sucks , sucks , sucks.

Tuesday seems like a long was away , I’d start the Med as soon as you can.

But be honest about not taking it, it could change where to go now to help you.

Please stay safe

I see him Tuesday. I don’t want more haldol if I can avoid it. I already feel like I’m on too much. I’d rather take the emsam I’m just not sure if it’s safe since I’ve been taking the decongestant.

I don't think it is if it is on the interaction list for Emsam. If it is you need 2 weeks to get every drop of it out of your body. But maybe your pdoc would not be concerned about that; at a low dose there aren't the major interactions. I would call the pdoc and ask. The sooner you can start the better but I wouldn't start unless I was really sure it was safe; a stroke isn't worth it. My pdoc doesn't worry about every interaction as far as food goes; we've never discusse a med interaction.

So yesterday I had to do grocery shopping , which I loathe.

Anywho got home put it away , made dinner and literally 20 mins after dinner my heart rate went flying up and I “ had” to go right to bed, heart rate dropped back to normal , But I could not get out of bed I was literally to exhausted to pull the cover over me , my husband did. This was at 7pm I fell right to sleep, which this insomniac never does.

I woke up about 5 am dragged myself to the bathroom and back to bed. Woke up about 11 tried to roll over but I just had no strength, slept again and finally got out of bed at 2 pm today !!!!!

WTH ?

I’m still pretty limp and honestly would go back to bed now but I think I would scare my husband too much. So I’m sitting here typing slowly away.

The only thing that happened was a spastic urge to be in bed right away and heart rate spike for maybe 5-6 mins felt pretty cold, more so than I should have been in this weather and that’s it.

Still just weak weak weak

Just a fluke maybe.

Yesterday was the second day of the new med my p doc prescribed for me and yesterday night was pretty awful . The med made me feel ill and I became very dizzy. Then it made me sick to my stomach. Today I spent much of the day in bed. That med really sucks and I won`t be taking that again.

Hugs to all that need or want them .

Feel better soon. Maybe a call to your doctor's office? That's a pretty severe break from insomnia to all those hours of sleep.

I agree with the advice Christina. Take care.

POSS TRIGGER!!!!

If you have read my Geodon post, I am sorry as this is a bit of a rehash. I took Geodon for the first time yesterday and felt nothing until after doing 15 mins of Yoga. It sent me into a massive hypomanic phase which would've been great if I wasn't already suicidal so now I had intent and energy. This led me to being constantly obsevered and also heavily drugged until my pdoc arrived. Thankfully the drugs had me subdued by then and they let me sleep it off. Once over the hangover I am back to happy hypomanic where I love living.

Gotta love meds don't you. Haha

Crappy day today. I couldn't sleep last night so I ended up taking 300mg of Thorazine to get to sleep which worked to well. I slept from 4am until 11am. I then slept from 12pm to 4pm. I still feel drugged. My wifes computer **** the bed so I spent the evening trouble shooting it and am pretty sure it's the motherboard which means I have to rip the whole thing apart. Other than that still guitar shopping for myself. Hope everyone had a good day.

Yikes!! Dear one that seems kinda weird; I second the notions of everyone else please give your doctor or at least their nurse a call. That sounds very terrifying. I hope you stay safe.
