confessions of little turtle with love

Strangely I had no problem getting off my benzos...in fact my benzos were getting me aggressive...I didn't even have any withdrawal symptoms....don't know how that happened...I have been lucky

My seroquel got me irritable and psychotic

I hate anti-psychotics...they make me cognitively impaired and fat....and most of them except olanzapine give me akathasia.
I hate lithium as well. I got psychotic when I was on lithium and topiramate together...so lithium obviously didn't help

I am sorry....
((((little turtle))))

I am on risperidone. It's not that bad. I overdosed on them in a suicide attempt and all I got was terrible pain with muscle stiffness and guess what... even worsened depression. There were a few long term effects like psychomotor retardation -- I was unable to save a friend from falling through a staircase, he managed not to fall but I grabbed him five seconds later. Sucks for me because he was a bit special for me... if you get it.

Did this happen early on when you were taking the Seroquel?

I took it for a few months and then became allergic to it.

Becoming psychotic on an antipsychotic ,..grrrrrr

It happened within a few weeks of taking seroquel...seroquel got me more alert....yes being psychotic on an anti-psychotic sucks

so I got a new refill of my celexa this week...I am still on 5 mg every day...
I looked at the medication guide from the pharmacy....there is a statement ----
what is the most important information I should know about celexa...
#1--suicidal thoughts or actions....plus new or worse anxiety or panic attacks..
I don't like that...I have had a big problem with panic attacks and fear...

What you have to remember about side effects is that not everyone gets them. I've read about horrible side effects on the drugs I'm on, but I haven't experienced any of them.

not everyone gets them---I agree...
I had one patient that killed herself because of the drug
she was taking....it was before we ever knew this could happen...
it was a shocker and I still am saddened by my part in it...
I didn't know any better...but I live with that today..
she was a very nice person...she was my friend

I need some sugar right now...or a valium

not everyone gets side effects....
but I want to know what are the side effects that I had..
the big one was NO SEX...

Me too. I feel scared all the time....without any reason

Feeling scared most of the time... sucks

I already knew that not everyone gets them

Your friend who killed herself because of the drug, that’s very sad

And I found taking them messed with my brain, and now I can’t take them I often feel su

I need a med that actually works and that I’m not allergic to

Too much to ask for of course

of course...
have you tried omega 3...and how about some other supps..
how about 5-htp ...but I hesitate to suggest this crap...
you have been hurt so many times by people and things not working..
why even try...maybe a good question

Do these supplements help you little turtle?

I don't know...I take them but I don't know...I am not pushing them
too much...but some people say they are helped..

fuzzy sugar is what is killing me and screwing up my brain...

I’m going to eat some chocolate. It might sweeten me up
Far too much self flagellation around here
Shoulda never ever known that to work

i have a major confession---------------------
my wife and I have had coffee in the morning
and wine at 5 oclock....every day for 63 years...
and it has been mostly good...some bad....
and during this time I had three bad breakdowns
and I am still here...

I am having trouble with my internet provider...talk to you later

I will believe and do anything for sugar...I am addicted

Little turtle I’m worried about sugar now - not because of anything you’ve written
