Why ask for more meds if you have night meds and won't take them? A lot of these meds rewuire a constant amount to be present to work their best. Is it worth taking both doses for a few days to see how that goes?
Thanks for this!

I took the sleeping pill they prescribed me just not my night mood stabilizer. I meant to take it the other night but forgot. I will try again to take it tonight.

I just want something for sleep other than zopiclone if im only gonna get 4hrs sleep on it.

My thoughts are getting a little out of control now. Seen the addictions nurse and he was concerned. I see him again tomorrow and then GP friday for the abilify injection. Got lorazepam for sleep now so hopefully that will help. They still really want me on my meds and im not doing well taking them. I feel like just riding this out and getting some sleep would keep me from completely losing it

Well I got my injection, had a 4hr nap and slept 7hrs last night I feel much better. Still having trouble taking my meds, its hit and miss. I got them bubble packed so i could at least keep track of when i do or dont take them. Not sure if that will really help but worth a try. I feel a little worse about not taking them for sure.

Lucky you.... I was due to get my 1st injection yesterday but my mental health centre need to order it so maybe next week. How was it? I'm pretty freaked out about getting it

The needle looked bad but didnt hurt at all. My arm does hurt now but that should wear off in a day or two. Im not sure if that is what made me so tired yesterday but i havent slept more than 4hrs a night in 2 weeks so it may have just been that catching up with me. Next time i will get it in the glute and see which is more comfortable over the couple of sore days.
