Roll Call 74

thank you guys

Some people just need a good ride.

It sounds like you did the right thing.

You've had a lot happen over the past couple of months, so I think it's probably only natural that you are having ups & downs at the moment.

I hope the appointment helps you towards feeling better soon but remember we are all here if you need us.

I need a ride to the shops if you are offering...

You need a lift to the shops. You need a ride in general

I kid, I kid.

I have no choice but to come off the invega,
She suggests clozaril or just taking the Stelazine on its own instead of two APs.

I don't know anything about clozaril but I thought it was heavy duty.

Random internet cats say hello!

Why are you coming off invega?

Clozaril requires constant blood monitoring but if it works for you its like a miracle.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that.
Clozaril requires frequent blood draws. I think it is pretty heavy duty, I believe it's used when other APs haven't worked.

I should have read ahead

The more input the better.....

I'm on clozaril at the moment but I haven't been on it that long so I don't think it's done anything yet. It makes me drowsy and I have a bit more saliva than usual. It is meant to be more effective from what I've heard. I have blood tests every week to check my white blood cell count and the crisis Team come out to my house to check my blood pressure and temperature (there weren't any beds available at the hospital).

I feel great. I don't want the injection ugh it's so confusing.

I banged my head on the top of the cab. They got in and divided my gloves in my pockets of my ja

Got a shirt from the college I apped for, it says class of 2020.

Really hope I can make it past high school to get to the college this fall.

You can do it!!!

I'm annoyed. My husband has the day off and he's been gone since 9 for his dr appt. he's off doing **** and I'm sitting here alone

I have to stop Invega because its causing really high prolactin for me
I saw an endocrynologist and she said that stopping Invega would be the best thing for me to do right now

I have tried other APs but they all have bad side effects for me or they just don't work. Like Abilify made me physically sick and it didn't work, Risperdal gave me the same problems are Invega, Seroquel and Zyprexa made me gain weight and eat a lot.

I am currently taking both Invega and Stelazine but my pdoc said she doesn't recommend doing that for a long time because it increases my risk of type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. So she suggested either just taking Stelazine on its own or trying Clozaril

Did you by any chance mention to her that addition of metformin could fix both of those problems, it will lower proloactin caused by risperidone or the active ingredient of risperidone which is invega and it's something they give to combat diabetes and pre diabetes. Clozaril is an atypical that causes a lot of weight gain so its pro-diabetic/metabolic syndrome as well.

Newtus may I send you private message

sure yes

omg wtf it's snowing

NOOOOOOOO

hey i had the same problem with invega but like SP says i started taking Metformin and it reversed it completely
