Wow! That's a lot to take in all in one day! I'm very sorry to hear that about your mom.

That's too fast.

That's great that your son is still working on it

My daughter's pdoc suggested she do 20mg one day then 10 mg then 20mg for a month and see how she feels. You think that's too fast? I am concerned too.

I always think they make that stuff up to scare people out of quitting their meds.

I'm ok. I'm just worried about my dad, brothers, and sister and how they'll handle it. When my stepdad was diagnosed with cancer it seem to hit my youngest sister hard. Meaning she would cry over silly things easily than normal. It also hit my mom pretty hard too.

That is very hard on the whole family that's for sure. I'll keep y'all in my prayers

Please keep us posted on how she's doing.

It seems too fast to me, but I'm really, really cautious. It's better that she's only taking the lower dose every other day, I guess.

Hi....I really lost my mind I thought i had a goverment implant inside my arm so I sliced it open I apparently then ran out side covered in my blood holding the knife yelling and screaming the neighbor who is best friends with my grandma called 911 then called her. they took me into the hospital and stiched my arm up my mom thought i was trying to kill myself she got me put in this mental hospital...it sucks they dont let me have any eletronical devices,but they do have these computers in the activity area im only allowed on here for 30 minutes though. at a time. I hate this i hate it i hate it sooooo much. its only for a week I think? ill have to check with my mom on that and i really don't want to talk to her atm. they restrained me and had me under suicide watch yesterday so afraid of being here paranoia is very high right now. REALLY don't want to be here I will try to get on here when I can.

I am very concerned about this too. I just read on the internet that it is too fast too. I thought I could trust her pdoc. I'm really worried.

@Newtus Near the end of the 11th video (Was watching backwards), I had to stop watching when you asked where the bag was because I freaked out when you said you could see me after I was covering the video with my hands xd

Heart goes out to you though (And everyone else that is struggling) like in the last video. I can't imagine the pain of going through it 24/7.

Stay strong everyone

It's so good to hear from you. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Please keep us posted when you can. I do hope you feel better soon

Cannablissfully · May 04, 2014, 07:24 PM

Thank you everyone for thinking about me and caring

My arm hurts too whenever i move it i feel the stiches pinching it. this ''hospital'' is dirty they don't seem to keep it clean as they should. and why do the people who work here have to make everyone feel like they're a naughty kid in time out who messed up? i thought they are supposed to be kind and understanding? I've only met one so far who is kind and caring.

newtus · May 04, 2014, 07:25 PM

thats how most hospitals are cannablissfully.

Cannablissfully · May 04, 2014, 07:33 PM

No wonder most people do worse in mental hospitals it really shouldn't be this way..they also didn't let me bring my own blankets or pillows or any clothing with draw strings or shoes with shoe laces. So im wearing these slip ons. Well I have to go..thanks again for thinking of me everyone. I will be on again when I can my paranoia is so high i can barely concentrate. i will keep you all posted. bye for now.

Pdocs do not have standard guides for tapering they make a judgement about the patient and their tolerance levels. They also don't do it all that often so they really aren't experts. If she has issues she can just go slower and can always go back up. But considering how long it can take I think it's worth trying fast just tell her not to freak out if she gets symptoms but contact the pdoc for guidance.

That totally sucks...but it will end...just focus on what you want when you get out...

I just picked her up from work and I asked her if she noticed a difference. She said she experienced some rapid heart beating today.

I totally agree that was my experience with psych nurses too...I think the work must change them, I can't imagine anyone choosing nursing and being that bossy and non-caring...I've never met other nurses like them...

I like that show! I haven't seen it in a while though because I don't have cable. But there are some old ones on my Netflix.

Atypical_Disaster · May 04, 2014, 07:49 PM

In other news, I'm feeling much better today. Feeling inspired and going to dive back into my spiritual development which has fallen by the wayside lately since I've been so ill. Giving it another go because I am bored and trust me that's not a good space for me to be in, hahaha.

Roll call is moving so fast lately, I'm used to the weekends being slower but alas, it is not so!

My two daughters have been struggling with all that too. They graduate this month and have been applying for financial aid and scholarships to cover their college expenses. It can be a real headache. Hang in there!
