Roll Call 25

Did you ever ask about metformin or are you just not interested in that?

Buy non alcoholic drinks like non alcoholic beer or drink natural juices, water, etc.

ill ask. i just somehow since i started taking my meds two weeks ago gained 10 poinds in 2 days. i binge ate last night and at allot today.

im such a failure

this question is for girls only

does anyone boobs hold a lot of heat

Just got back from ANOTHER birthday party lol this time it was my uncle's bday. So many bday celebrations I am all partied out phew lol. How's everyone doing tonight? I am ok just tired and I think I took the celebrations bit too far lol. But those mixed drinks were too tempting. Strawberry banana with vanilla ice cream and strawberry vodka OMG.I get to spend the weekend with my Fiancé tomorrow

Yes newtus mine do very much. My Fiancé says they are like a hot water bottle he likes to warm his hands with me when its cold out lol. I do the same thing when my hands get too cold I put them under my bra for a while. It seems to be more of an issue with bigger boobs, They put off more heat.

lol thanks for the response!!!

You're welcome Newtus I have a question for anyone who can answer, Me and my Fiancé really would like to have a child with each other after we get married...But now that I am taking Risperdal on a regular basis I really worry about what I will do? Is it dangerous to take that when pregnant and are there any alternatives that I can do that are baby safe? Or should I just avoid mediation until the baby is born? I really need to know this stuff so that I can be prepared for our future together. Thanks We were discussing this earlier with each other.

i think and obgyn would know. my mom was on a lot of medications when she had me and they said everything would be fine

my boobs are small but pack a lot of heat. they are like a furnace

Yeah mine do too. Hey there is a good side to it,We'll never have to worry about being too cold. the downside is when it's already hot out it makes people like us hotter. Sometimes I have to put a little bag wrapped in cloth that has a few ice cubes in it and tuck it in my bra so my boobs don't catch on fire or something...lol.

My grip on sanity is slipping away.I am taking these meds but its still slipping away from me I think its too late my sanity is leaving me the things I do and sayy make nosens e anymore and people are afraid of me because of my diagnosis friends I used to have are avoiding me they think I am dangerous or something I keep thinking I need to set myself on fire but I wont its another one of those violent thoughts flooding my mind like iron claws digging into my brain and sucking away the last drops of my mental being.I am still crawling through the tunnel of nightmares that I was sucked into years ago I have never found my way out yet and the voices of the damned keep echoing back at me and driving me further into the depths of madness. its slipping away I am slipping away and everything is turning black all that will remain is the empty shell of a being who is consumed into the void of nonsensical mindlessness and stuck behind a never ending bricked up wall of their own insanity the wall my mind has built for me.

So there are docs that specialize in this kind of thing...best thing is to find one because they will be super-knowledgable. The basics for risperidone...class C is that it's a risk benefit analysis. If mom is likely to do something stupid like hurt herself or use drugs/alcohol excessively or whatever when off the drug then that actually poses a greater known risk to the baby than risperidone. Generally for an antipsychotic I would say unless you are stable without it then taking the med is still a good idea becuase there aren't known risks...however they have not been ruled out...

Make sure to be up on your vitamins early on ie at conception to prevent neural tube defects and that kind of stuff...

You might need to call your pdoc and get the dose increased they can usually phone that in for you....I'm sure you're on a starter dose right now because they try to keep the dose as low as possible..

Thanks Sp very helpful info I really hope we can have a healthy baby It's something we have been wanting for a while now.@ Lillybird Hey sorry to hear you're having such a rough time We're here for you if you need to talk or need a hug. Don't worry it's not hopeless you just gotta hang in there...There are lots of people who have recovered and been able to live a more normal life you just gotta stay strong.

I am sick of this sick of seeing a pdoc sick of being mentally ill I miss when I felt free like nothing could hold me back now I have all of these hang ups complications its like endless infections the poison keeps flowing through and I cant stop it.thank you for caring.I just feel like my brain is infected and its not getting better

its not getting better its just not getting better I feel like everyone is out to get me like there are people conspiring against me aevery where I go I think people are keeping tabs on me I see them calling their cellphones and looking at me funny like they are all in it together watching me and keeping track of everywhere I go

Things get better as time goes Lilly as long as you take your medicine and do what the doctors tell you to do. I know it's hard at times Trust me we all know,And you are not alone.You really do need to talk with your Psychiatrist and see if they will up your medications like Sp suggested. It sounds like you need a stronger dose.

maybe you guys are right I am sorry I am just having a very bad night I dont mean to come off so stubborn or disagreeable its just like everything was fine once well I thought it was fine and then this got dropped on me I wasnt prepared for this I wasnt ready for this it is just too much pressure!!! but I need to cut out the poor pitiful me act that isnt helping anythhing just making things worse for me.I just feel so stressed out like I am way over my threshold.

You may be able to get back to that...the key is to stay on meds until your symptoms are gone at least 6 months then when your stress levels are low you can try to taper off. But first you need to get stabilized...

Thanks I will discuss this with my mother and we will call up my pdoc and see if we can get the medicine increased because it really isnt helping me enough I need more than the current dose it seemed like it was doing something positive at first but it is just not doing anything now.and for some reason my negative symptoms and my depression have increased since taking the prozac along with my ap.

Lillybird I had something similar happen to me when first taking my medicine you haven't been on it for very long either It does take a while for it to start really working. It will be ok and remember we're here for you. I have never taken an antidepressant along with my risperdal you just should talk with your Psychiatrist about this if they are reacting badly to each other for you. Maybe your Psychiatrist can put you on a different antidepressant?

Thanks I think they are reacting badly with each other and I am not on risperdal I am on haldol.I am not sure how they are supposed to react to each other I guess I need to find out.

I really don't know so much about drug interactions but you really do need to discuss this with your Psychiatrist. They should know. I have never taken Haldol so I really don't know much about that medication either or its interactions with other medications. Sorry I can't be much help with that.

its ok cannablissfully you and sometimespsychotic have been helpful enough as it is.sometimes I just need a push in the right direction thank you both very much for the support.
