I had a good day today. I walked the dog and went out to a restaurant. Didn't have any voices all day and only a little bit of paranoia at the restaurant but apart from that it's been good 😊 I think the clozapine is working.

I was meaning something else like the SNRI you tried... I thought you had an appointment after you had to come of the Effexor was it?

Xanax is obviously ok for short-term relief of anxiety, ambien should in theory help you sleep... but you are not taking anything for your mood. SSRIs/SNRIs can have the added benefit of helping reduce overall levels of anxiety too...

I'm not sure exactly what different roles various workers have over there, but has your therapist given you any worksheets or exercises to help with your anxiety or mood? Or do you just talk in general...?

I used drink/drugs/smoking as a release for my anxiety for a long time before I even realised I was doing it.

Much healthier to use the likes of self-help, therapy & meds to learn to cope without these crutches.

What happened to you trying meds? I thought you had a follow up appointment or something?
Self help therapy?, most of it is billshit.. Just another pimp dealer..Self help can shove it , id rather vape than be owned by these bozos...

we just talk. and usually about my school. i guess since my life revolves around that.

ive never been on effexor. it was cymbalta that was giving my high blood pressure.

i think a ssri or snri could help. i think id like to go back on that cymbalta regardless of the high blood pressure...

So what's with ambien? My pnp said the pharmacy probably wouldn't fill a 90 day supply. Just wondering why. They'll fill 90 day supplies of ativan but not ambien. Seems weird.

Ah ok, I think I was getting mixed up with 0dy because he was on it... I knew it was something...

I understand you felt it was starting to do something, but if the doctor/nurse or whoever decided it wasn't worth the risk, then I don't think they'd want you to go back on it.

There are a wealth of other SSRIs/SNRIs though.

I think it's definitely something you should bring up...

If your insurance would cover any other more intensive types of therapies... then that'd be ideal beside meds. I only did about 4-5 sessions of talk therapy with my CPN, but it was enough. She just helped me understand my anxiety & gave me worksheets etc. Was able to develop coping mechanisms from that. CBT is obviously the best, but I believe you need a lot of regular sessions for that...

I don't mean "empower yourself with <x>" style books... I mean serious cbt-style self help. Not drivel.

There is a big difference. It's all about coping mechanisms.

Sunburned lel

So tired.. I realized that 108mg of Concerta doesn't keep me awake very much either.

Too tired to walk 5 minutes and fish on the beach in the morning but I think it was cuz of the vodka last night. Then I got up and was drinking and fishing on a boat and then pulled over to a beach on an island..

Going to a Mexican restaurant later for dinner.

My mom is thinking of buying a place here. It's expensive as hell though to live here.

I wonder if I can still be on Canadian disability here and study idek

Ran into my step sister today at the grocery store. I haven't seen or had contact with them since the funeral. Her mother died so she has stuff from my dad. We are going to meet up so I can have his stuff including some of his ashes. I'm so happy I'd cry if I had the ability to.
