Roll Call #79

Antipsychotics are the most commonly used drugs in forced treatment and if we wish to find out how deadly they are, we cannot use the placebo controlled randomised trials in patients with schizophrenia, as they seriously underreport deaths. For example, only 19 of 50 deaths on olanzapine described in trial summaries on websites also appeared in journal articles; and for suicides and suicidal events the numbers were one versus nine and four versus 18, respectively.5 Another reason why trials in schizophrenia are unreliable is their cold turkey design. Patients are almost always in treatment with an antipsychotic drug before they are being randomised,2 and when they are abruptly switched to placebo, their mortality risk increases markedly. One in every 145 patients who entered the trials for risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine and sertindole died, but none of these deaths were mentioned in the scientific literature, and the FDA didn’t require them to be mentioned.6 Many of the patients killed themselves; the suicide rate was two to five times the usual rate for patients with schizophrenia, and a ma*jor reason was withdrawal-induced akathisia.6

Daisymaised I'm using that info for a news article. It's disgusting! Big Pharma...

Good morning all..

Wished my dad a happy fathers day. He should be here to visit from Argentina next month then I fly to far Western Canada then later we go to Mexico.

ive dyed my hair different colors... i cant dye it right now bc of my job, though -_-

the first one is red on the tips, the second one was blue on the tips, the third one was most of the length in a blue faded to a green

I think that blue to green looks pretty cool.

Question of the hour though, what does that key around your neck open?

lol, absolutely nothing... its just some trendy hipster necklace. or i could be all mushy poetic and say its the key to my heart

I sent my Dad an animated e-card. It said...

"Dad, There were times when running away seemed like a good idea..."

"But you never did. Thanks, and Happy Father's Day"

You stole my sentence and question about DNA's photos, was wondering about the key too

Yes the blue to green is unique and cool DNA

I'm going to my boyfriends grandpas house for lunch. His dad is going to be there. I've never met his dad. I'm extremely uncomfortable around anyone I'm dating parents. I don't know why. Even the guy I dated for almost 6 years and even lived with his mom the entire time, I was still terrified of her after 5 years. Idk why. I'm freaking out. I'm drinking. I'm on my second drink in an hour.

Combine 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add the rhubarb and bring sauce back to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until rhubarb is crisp-tender, approximately 10 minutes.

mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i hate fathers day

Sometimes I wonder if there is any point to existing in this reality.

There's no point =]

But we must live.

stupid voices

I'm asking to go into supportive housing.

My mom works two jobs and wants money from my dad for a vacation so she goes off and says (Because I was ordering chemicals online) "I have to look after my schizophrenic son".

That's the pin and the hammer. Done.

This is completely stupid. I'm leaving. I don't need looking after I'm an adult and very very functional.

She yells at me and my sister because I said my step dad is living with us. He doesn't pay rent or anything.

It's ********.

I love my mom and I know she cares about me but this isn't what I need. To live in this basement. She chose to live with my step dad and he assaulted me and bought his own damn house but still "lives" here. If not, find me the definition of living in ones house because he's here 90% of the time.

Edit: I might stay with my dad idk

oh my eyebrows? I have trichotillomania. its a disorder that causes me to pull out my hair from stress/anxiety. i had it since i was 9 years old. my pediatrician diagnosed me first, then my psychiatrists all diagnosed me throughout the years.

my current doctor recognized immediately i had trich. she said its actually somewhat common.

people say what they want about it. ive heard it all before, my whole life practically.

btw im not going on the trip after all. my sister called it off last minute because some problems with her apartment/townhome/whatever. plus shes sick she said. i was really disappointed because i really wanted to go. oh well. im not feeling that good anyway.

Many say we find our own purpose and point, our own meaning. However, I believe the point is to aim for virtue so that we can benefit others and be good examples for others. After all, we are social by nature; we are political by nature. If there is some ultimate point and purpose maybe it's veiled in the sky, unknown to the eye.

These are my current thoughts. Feel free to debate them.

i wonder if anyone here ever saw shadows of other people. like outlines of their bodies, i saw them three times so far, in my room, like they were the dead people.. they scared me, like they were reaching out for me

My sister texted me at midnight telling me to tell my "****ing friends" to leave her alone.

1. I don't have friends
2. She is delusional

I thought she was doing better but guess not =/

Oh god that's awful. I'm sorry, mental illnesses in family members is never easy to deal with especially when you deal with it yourself.
