Re

life sucks

(I've been depressed for so long, I hate this. It's not as if I'm "not trying to beat it" ..I battle with the black dog every day )

Today the pain is even more intense... I have a few ideas why (it's beyond difficult not being able to take meds, (severe allergic reactions). I "should" be used to it by now )

I am grateful for the good in my life

Love to all who also battle with this beast

(((((((Fuzzy)))))))

Fuzzy

I so love this - sarcasm.

....... (Deleted)



People, rightly, post to others about how medication has proved to be life saving for them. But for this bear there is "no.....

This isn't meant as anything negative about anyone here, I'm so tired and tied into knots not "turning into an angry polar bear"

There is one med I'm not allergic to ... Yet...

It "just" has a whole lot of beyond scary side effects.

Round and round .... I hate me sometimes

((((((((((((( ))))))))))))

Prolly the wrong thread to post... I miss you
But .. you're somewhere other than this place of pain

fuzzy what med......

Seroquel

tell me more about seroquel

It's been nicknamed "Serokill" in some places ...

I don't mind if it kills me, I'd welcome it
(I'm old..)

It's diseases like diabetes and others which scare me ..

I know it has helped many people..

I was prescribed 200 mg.

I'm scared

I really don't know much about Seroquel...I didn't use it...
would it work if you limited sugar and refined carbs...idk
I am talking off the wall here..why does it cause diabetes

I'm not sure why it causes diabetes.. It is notorious for weight gain though.

I took it for a couple of months then stopped it, but I'm supposed to still be taking it

how is your blood sugar...
tough problem here...
I have to go now...I will be back

Blood sugar hasn't been measured



Ps at least I think it hasn't been measured, I did have a blood test months ago for something else...

This is both frustrating and frightening. Here's a medication you can take without an allergic reaction, but its potential side effects are . . . disturbing.

Given your history with medications, I think your doctor needs to follow you more closely that s/he would other patients taking drugs.

Have you looked at ketamine, fuzzy?

I don't mean to make any suggestions, I'm just interested in this kind of therapy at the moment.
It seems different.

Oh, I thought they have given you Prozac, I do not know much about meds. What happens to me with meds is that they work the first months and then they stop working. I am not getting any anti depressant right now

i was on 600mg of seroquel
its ok i guess, i didnt gain weight on it (i gained weight from the zyprexa)
from my understanding quite a few of the antipsychotics can cause diabetes..
i think it has something to do with how it effects the way your body regulates sugar
but i am not certain...
pharmacology definitely isn't my strong point.. i find it quite interesting though...

have you checked your thyroid?

I've red a lot about Seroquel - posts on other forums from people who have/are taking it. The majority say it helps - but the side effects can be hard to take. A few have written they'd rather sacrifice a skinny body to find relief from the mental pain (not advocating that: just relaying).

It's hard and scary and I'm sorry for your struggles. (((fuzzy)))

oh man it made me feel bad about gaining like 60lbs, but they told me i was underweight and needed to gain it anyway -.-
i didnt get overweight or anything but im used to being small so it kind of bothered me..
the zyprexa is horrible for that.. i've lost alot of weight again though so i guess its ok..

the only problem i had with seroquel was that in the beggining it really knocked me out and it caused me to panic a little because i would take it and like 15-20 mins later start getting so sedated that i couldnt do anything but pass out and i would get really anxious and start having a panic attack before passing out because it scares me to be knocked out like that... and the 400mg pills are soo big i could barely swallow them
i probably would of kept taking it if it wasnt for that... but its really sedating in the begining, i think probably took me a year to get used to the sedation but after that i could stay up for 24/48 hours or whatever like usual... i have alot of insomnia sometimes :/

i cant really say which meds did what because they had me on so many ya know...
i just really dont like zyprexa so becareful with that one... and depakote really dopes you up..

valium/klonopin are my favorite but you end up building tolerances with them and that sucks

alternatively, marijuana is my most favorite and desired type of medication...
but the doctors get mad at me about it ... my therapist said to keep smoking because it helps but the doctors grilled me so much about it and wouldn't treat me fairly because of it and diagnosed me with substance abuse/dependency - i guess it wouldnt of been so bad if i wasnt drinking too..
the weed really relaxes me and helps put me in a comfortable safe place in my mind where i can just let things be... it doesnt cure things but it helps me cope..
the way i see it, if something works... why knock it? why pile on a bunch of drugs that have a bunch of crazy side effects and try to force someone to stop using something that works? when the meds wont work?! doctors can be so backwards sometimes..

or maybe im just backwards :/

soul you may become a therapist in the future...you are very helpful...

Thanks everyone

(The Prozac was from a while ago... I was allergic to it so stopped it. I tried it again... One day
Seroquel was prescribed a couple of months ago..)

My favourites are diazepam (and restoril)

Wish I could get some marijuana over here (uk)

I tried it years ago at university, it did make me feel relaxed and fuzzy

why aren't you taking valium and restoril fuzzy
