Do you turn away from the tree and cry in those situations because you feel like you lost something along the way or never had it in the first place? Not physical nor a person but something intangible but you still know what it is in the back of your mind?
Glad he was empathetic and you got a new med plan. |

That's a good question and thank you for asking. Lost something along the way. So many losses, just too many, and I'm terrified because all I can see is more to come. And it's all spinning by so fast. It is lost people, but also lost times, lost naivete - even the shock of how lost this nation has become. People, in general, seem confused and it scares me. Or maybe it's me. Maybe it's my own depression and anxiety telling me stories. I miss having my children and my husband, all of us safe and warm under one roof. That tree was covered with golden lights, they weren't that awful too-bright kind, but soft and it was just too much. __________________ |

med dude appointment today. med dude wins gold ribbon for empathy, gentleness, and kindness. I sincerely hope he stays at the clinic and gains experience with prescribing, and confidence with prescribing, because he will become the most awesome med dude in existence. He just needs the experience of I pushed the envelope, it worked, and now I have the confidence to push the envelope again.
Poor med dude, women must get frustrated with him because he's handsome and so, so sweet and romantic, but then they have to tell him every little thing to do in bed because he's afraid to make a mistake. Medication Change Increase Gabapentin to 2700mg. Take it: 900mg a.m. / 900mg afternoon / 900mg p.m. __________________ |

That's good Beth. I was on that dose and schedule when I was first on clozaril and going through seroquel withdrawal. It worked great but with the other meds I take I was too sedated. And I usually forgot at least one dose so we moved it all to night and adjusted the dosage. I only take meds at night because I just don't remember to do it in the day time. But I remember in the hospital when I was on that and really agitated it helped so much.
I hope it helps you. I'm glad med dude is helpful and seems a little braver this week. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

The most common usage here is like when someone does something outrageous people say "dude....wtf?" Not really complimentary. We also use it to just refer to people but it's more neutral.
