Roll Call 33

lol maybe id get a guy one. just to have a doll

im in town with my dad and finding myself panicking over being out and perhaps my therapist seeing me out or anyone from that clinic. im having an anxiety atta ck

yeah the guy ones they made for safety so you don't look like you are alone....you could always say it's for that....I just cant find them....

they should be at work right now.....

I feel like I am losing it again I go through these phases.and I keep having these really weird dreams that doesnt help.they wake me up at night and make it harder for me to sleep.is it just me or does news keep getting more and more dull its like they dont want us to really know whats going on in the world they just keep telling us facts about famous people or things that dont matter and its not because there isnt enough going on I am pretty sure they can come up with something more interesting than this useless garbage?I havent been eating so much food lately either I have been eating hardly at all.I went through a entire day yesterday and only ate one thing then I was trying to remember what I ate and remembered I only ate that one thing but I wasnt even hungry at all.my mind feels a little jumbled to.and while all this is going on I have gone back to feeling that the people are following me again I was outside to get the mail yesterday this man walked by kept looking over at me talking on his phone he kept gazing talking walked off well he was back again this morning I saw him outside the window he was staring up at my house he walked back and forth came back and looked up again.but I dont want to go outside this stuff is just to weird for me.

I really dont know what to do I need a different medicine this one just doesnt work the way it should be.I take it as I should.so I am going to see if my pdoc will let me just try a different one.

i think this haldol is blurring my vision and its making me nervous. or im just having an anxiety attack.

First... you are easy to like

Second.. if your therapist didn't like you, she wouldn't be working so hard to keep you. All the rules and stuff are designed to encourage you to follow the protocols that are in place to control your symptoms.

I take haldol too It does make my vision a little blurry also.but I havent experienced anxiety from it mainly it just doesnt seem to work well for me.

I am sorry if I dont always have good advice to help others on here with problems I always just seem to throw mine down but I have a hard time knowing what to say or how to help others through their issues because I can barely help myself through my own.I just wanted to put that out there I do care about you guys to.I just dont know what to say sometimes...

i dont experience anxiety from it just seperate from it. but it sure makes my vision blurry.

What dose of haldol are you up to? It's one of the stronger ones but a lot of people start with atypicals which are less likely to cause side effects...

You're still new a few years from now you'll be all back when I was on haldol or whatever----it's just time----

its ok i think im the same way. throwing my issues down and not knowing how to help others because i can barely help myself but id like to help others more. like sometimesp does.

I have an MRI scheduled for Friday. Hopefully we'll see what's wrong with me. I'm very frustrated... I can barely get out of bed. I'm either in bed or sitting at my computer when I can. I'm in a lot of pain and so weak all the time. This sucks.

That's just because I'm asymptomatic right now---if I was sick I couldn't do it either....

Im taking 7.5 mg of haldol.The pdoc said last time he wanted to raise it to 10 but wanted to taper me up slowly to it so it wouldnt be so overwhelming.however this isnt really helping so I dont even think 10 would help I was taking 5mg before he put me up to 7.5.
I want to try something else this just isnt working well.I went from 2mg to 5 to 7.5.

im on 15mg haldol

Wow that's awful---do they think it might be some sort of dystonia---like from the APs?

The problem with switching is they all work the same way by binding the D2 receptor and haldol is the one that binds it the strongest making it the most effective----I would just increase the dose before switching because you'll be getting a less effective med if you switch to anything else---the only reason to change would be side effects----of course there is clozapine but that's for later if you have at least 2 med failures----

I see what you mean there he will probably give me a 10mg dose I dont know why he started me out on haldol as my first ap med but I guess I should trust that he knows what hes doing.

No, I've had that before and this is entirely different.

ive had at least around 10 med failures

i wonder if i really am easy to like...

im going to try to follow the protocols better and take my meds

Man, I wonder what it is....hope u get it figured out soon.
