What's it like to not have hallucinations? Mine increased since 13 and by 17, they became 24/7. It's exhausting. There's only been two times where they stopped. Both drug induced, sadly. First was when I got my wisdom teeth taken out. I remember walking to the car and realized I didn't hear anything and I just cried because it felt like the biggest relief ever. But they came back about 30 minutes laters. The second time was dxm induced. Once again, I cried because I was so happy and I wanted to stay that way. Just hearing nothing but your own heartbeat. Not feeling paranoid. Not being scared. Feeling like you can absolutely face the world without hallucinations. I wish AP's worked for me. I'm too scared to try clozaril. My doctor told me to not take my haldol with my seroquel even though she's the one who prescribed it....

You don't annoy me. And I don't think you annoy others. I hear your pain. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to never get relief from the voices. You said you are afraid of clozaril. Is it possible to just give it a try and if you aren't happy with it you can stop? It might be worth it to see if it stops the voices.

I haven't posted in awhile due to work. I've been working 7 days a week. I have next weekend to myself if I want. I'll Probsbly still work Saturday or even Monday too. However, I want to do this because then I'd get Monday and Tuesday off. Library hours! I'm so lame.
Also, my doc Changed my meds around a bit. Now I take 40mg of Geodon 3 times a day instead of 80mg a dayI think I'll just take 40 at lunch, see how I'm doing, then 80mg (with 350 calories) at night.

I ran out of Lamictal the other day and got the wrong meds. I could feel my bp2 onsent coming phew!

Ah, Aristotle. One tough nut to crack. I have a few aces up my sleeve though. I've got to do him with such precision. Aristotle disciples even debate amongst themselves! Even further, many philosophers chide him.
I'm going to focus on friendship and Eudiamonia (flourishing happiness or living well). I've got some great sources now, so things are coming together. Once I get these two done then the real story unravels.

It's not about schizophrenia or petty professors. It's more about a jealous god (Zeus) giving a man the sight to see the real world as It is. Not in the matrix sort of way, but to see over the welter of culture and relationships and the state of our souls, our habits, our exploitations, and education. It will take me an entire year at least. I don't really care how long it takes as long as I'm proud of it. It needs a lot of work but that's love isn't it?
Thanks for this!

Absolutely. I'm glad to see you're doing well and have the library days to look forward to!

I dropped my daughter off for her first day of 4th grade this morning. Her backpack is bigger than she is.

No, only when I first started it I would have a little bit of restlessness in my legs an hour or so after taking it but that went away

Yes, I took it years ago. It made me sleep 18+ hours a day, and then, the few hours I was awake, I would eat anything not nailed down; to the point where my stomach hurt soooo much from overeating, but my brain was screaming that I was still starving :/ Not surprisingly, all of that made me more depressed, which is ironic considering it's supposedly an AD!

However, my grandfather took it to increase his appetite and make him sleep better at night, and it didn't have that effect on him. It was basically useless for what we wanted it for.

I'm assuming that you are considering it, or have been prescribed it? If so, good luck! Unfortunately the only way to know with meds is to try and see how it affects you, as their effects vary so widely.

That terrifies me. I had weight loss surgery. My stomach can only hold about 5oz before it becomes uncomfortable. I've only over eaten 2 times and it was so extremely painful. No amount of throwing up until I was dry heaving until that got painful. I took so much sleep medicine but the pain was so bad that I ended up just sitting against my door in this weird state of being extremely tired but in too much pain to sleep. There was no way to sit, stand, lay, nothing helped the pain. It's because I physically stretched out my tiny stomach. I don't mind the sleeping part but over eating terrifies me.

Edit: yes. My doctor called it in and it's at the pharmacy to pick up.
