And u know what's weird latuda helps with my back pain. My disc ruptured awhile back and I had surgery on it. Well I still struggle with pain. But anyway the latuda helps with it.

I'm gonna try and be optimistic about and hope that starting the latuda on a low dose will help my body adjust as we go up and hopefully I won't get the anxiety and insomnia.
Thanks for this!

Well one thing that could be the problem for sure is your recent dose adjustments...for me cutting my abilify from 10mg to 5mg when I was trying to taper off was massively anxiety promoting....the systems in your brain really need some time to adjust so I wouldn't judge anything until you get to the full dose...

I think it might be because I have low blood pressure and abilify can mess with it. That's my reasoning anyway. Yeah strange how different things affect people.

Thanks sunshine. I agree it is okay to talk about the negative stuff. I just worry how my post will make others feel. I have a hard time opening up and telling people what is really going on. Being supportive of others here is very important to me. I do my best to help when I can. Sometimes all I have to give is hugs.
Thanks for this!

Yeah I happened to be in the hospital for that seroquel incident...my very first AP...I went up to the desk and they took my blood pressure said it was low and then I never got that drug again...

The cool thing is now they are working on the genetic basis of drug reactions like that and one day you could just spit into a tube and they would just pick your optimal AP for you without all the trialing of every med until you find one that's barely tolerable...

Why do you want to do that and do you actually want to or just have the feeling that you want to?

Still haven't tried ability, I forgot about that one.
Just for clarification, Geodon needs to be taken with a high calorie meal. Nowhere in the prescribing info does it mention that Geodon needs to be taken specifically with a 750 calorie meal.

Thanls cracking. You are in my thoughts too.

Just got a call from Bean. They started her on the med last night and she is seeing bad scary things all over the place and she is crying and wants me. Im 2 hours away and cant help her. Praying this passes as they increase her dose over the next few days. Its heartbreaking to hear her and not be able to fix it.

It's the voices... it's the depression... it's the not being able to sleep without waking up crying. I feel alone and lost and confused. I'm ready to do myself in but I don't know how. Everything just seems ineffective and I have no access to guns or anything so I guess I'm "safe".

Huh the psych nurse was adamant about that. She seems to be wrong about a lot of things. This totally stresses me out. She also said topamax is a stimulant and the pharmacists told me that no it slows u down. Bc I was thinking maybe risperdal with topamax would work and the psych nurse said its a stimulant and that's the last thing I need. Oh this is stressful...I'm trusting this woman with my sanity here.

So I know there was some issue about not being able to get your meds at one point....are you on everything right now and if so for how long?

That is number one to me because the drugs when they are increasing or decreasing can make you think things that you would never do when stable.

Think about the things that you want in your life not the things you can't change. Is there any place you would like to visit?..things you would like to do?...people you want to see again? Make a list of those things and put it somewhere you can look at it everyday. Then when you feel better and eventually you will start working toward those things that motivated you...

Erti. I'm really sorry ur feeling this way. I've been there before too. You are a very cool person. The world would be less interesting and boring without ppl like us, lol. I've been there though and I've learned just to hang on and sometimes a good cry helps me see things more clearly.

Currently not on everything at the moment. It seems like things keep getting in the way of me taking my medication. I almost feel like giving up.

That's some good advice... I just got to think about what I want in life. Lately it feels like I've given up on life. It feels like I'm just surviving and nothing else. I guess theres got to be something out there.
