I've been having a lot of strange things going on in my life since about Christmas of last year which was before I started these meds-except the diazepam. I'm diagnosed w/bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, PTSD&most recently, schizo-affective disorder. I've been accused of sending nasty e-mails to someone-no proof on either computer&the person who says they got it could only tell me that I said I blamed her for ruining my bf&I's relationship. This is from someone that I'd e-mailed only once&she'd called me&we talked after she got it. I know I didn't send those e-mails. I also don't&have never felt that way about her. My question is, do you think that my current drug cocktail could be making me "lose time&memory"? I forget mundane things, but I sure think I would have remembered something like this. My T told me it was unlikely that my meds or diagnoses would cause me "lost time&memory", but I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this before, due to any of these drugs or the combo of them?

To a more or less degree my symptoms mirror yours, and I too am on Geodon. I have been accussed of many things as well. If people know your paranoid or insecure they definately will pray on it. Without proof though, all you get is unsubstantiated rumor (which, unfortunately, most idiots will take as the truth). Regardless it is not your problem. If you dont remember sending those emails, and there is no proof that you did, don't worry.
Thanks for this!

What other types of things have you experienced? I get VERY irritable/angry because I feel like people hate me when I've done nothing to them. My bf&I fight like cats&dogs&we've been together for 8 years&until after Christmas of 2007 we were getting along fine. Then it's like a switch flipped-he ignored me for the first 3 months of the year-playing Grand Theft Auto was more important than me. Then the fighting, suicide attempts&accusations started. With the PTSD, it wasn't until this year that I started remembering some really horrific things-I wish I would never have remembered them. My bf has done nothing to try to understand-I've tried getting him to read a book, an article. visit a website...he absolutely refuses to. He was NOT like this last year. He used to be a very understanding, caring&generous person. I don't know if maybe I'm just hyper-vigilant because of the PTSD or if it's the meds-but I notice every little slight, ignorance, nasty comment(There have been SO many of those). I don't know if he's changed or if I'm just getting sensitive to things because of the PTSD/meds. I feel like a shroud has been lifted with the new meds, but he seems to hate the "awake" me. Has your life been anything like this?
