Roll Call 24

I think you might need to take them for longer till you see effects. How long have you been taking them?

Thanks for the concern.

Yeah I'm kinda worried bc I really struggle with sleep. If I'm not sleeping I end up in a not so good place.

Newtus--I was on here a couple yrs ago and you were having the same problems of going on and off ur meds. I think u need to make a decision. Do u want to be on meds of ur choice and possibly gain weight? Or keep fighting it and probably end up in a hospital that u don't want to be in, and possible injections. And as far as forgetting them, if it's important to you u won't forget them. I have two sz in my life and they never forget them bc it's extremely important to them. Time to make a decision and stick to it.

Justmeandmyhead-What are u up to today?

My day is ending here in England. I had a nice day though, the weather was sunny and we made sangria. Are you doing anything nice today?

I might go out with friends tonight. Today I'm just gonna clean a little. Maybe try and take a nap. It's cloudy where I'm at, but finally warmer, so that's nice.

That sounds like a nice chilled out day especially if you haven't slept very well.

2 days

:/ yea. its just so hard knowing im sleeping all the time on meds and looking like a fat as_. maybe ill just continue on the low dose again. 2mg.

See if ur doc will prescribe metformin. Or try abilify, latuda, geodon or the other weight neutral aps.

Those don't work for me bc of the akathisia, but u could try them. I just would hate to see you on the shot again. I know it's hard deciding between weight gain and psychosis. I know, believe me I've had the talk with my psych nurse many times. But for now I need stability so I'm taking risperdal again...

I hope u find one that works without the weight gain.

latuda mad me gain weight. geodon didnt help me at all. risperdal made me lactate.

kureha said she got dragged to her room a couple more times but nomore restraints so far

Do people here have bad days and good days with thoughts? I have random bad days even though I'm on meds

poor kureha

I still have my bad days even though I'm medicated. Currently I'm going through a very rough time. I've withdrawn from everyone and everything because I've been getting eaten alive by psychosis. Though I seem more coherent today so that's good?

You seem more coherent yeah I'm glad your feeling a bit better if only for today. Sorry youv been struggling.

idk if im allowed to answer since im off/on meds but i have random bad days on meds. sometimes i have good thoughts and sometimes i dont

yea you serm more coherent. im sorry. so sorry

would i call what im going thru psychosis? this past week or two

It's good to hear from you. I'm really sorry ur having such a hard time. Ur in my thoughts though.

Yeah on meds I still struggle sometimes. But without them I'm worse. I think there's no two ways about it, Having a MENTAL ILLNESS SUCKS!

Course you can answer newtus thanks for replying

So true sunshine so true

Let her know I said hi would you?
And that we are all thinking of her here on roll call...

i defeinitelly will

Newtus--geodon didn't help me either. And it made me super nauseous and if I was late for my dose I would throw up. And it gave me akathisia.

Latuda makes me super hot and I get akathisia really bad on it. It's horrible, I feel like I'm gonna fall through the floor and like the walls are closing in on me. And if I drank any diet sodas or ate certain food I would get akathisia, even being on 2 meds to counteract it. I'm on less meds now that I'm off the latuda. But I'm pigging out on sweets from the doxepin.

I hope soon they come out with better meds with less side effects...
