I think pets do wonders for mood.

Just something to keep in mind.

Question though....has your addictive behavior come back with th AP use? I think it's Abilify that was being sued for compulsive gambling and the like...wonder if it might also affect alcohol and smoking?
As if happens yes. When I got addicted to stimulants I was on olanzapine and the amisulpride.

I think abilify does that as it is a partial dopamine agonist.

Still maybe my drinking is in part due to the numbing, if not pronounced, effects of APs

I might just add I spent the better part of 8 years using up to 20+ different kinds of drugs. I think maybe alcohol is just what is available to me now... maybe deep down I'm just a druggy but who knows..

I see...I knew they originally said you might have drug induced psychosis but wasn't aware of the extent......

At any rate keep fighting the good fight.....

Yes it hard to separate the drug use from my mental illness but there are still anomalies which suggest it wasn't just drug-induced.

To this day we still don't know but time will tell.

She is half calico is what the vet said when I got her as a kitten. She has been with me for almost 15 years now. Her birthday is next month.

Don't get me wrong... it wasn't 8 years habitual use or anything it was just experimentation at uni that got a bit out of control.

Many people would think I'm the last person to be using drugs but the truth is it can happen to anyone.

The days must feel long. Why can't you come and go as you please? I don't understand why you cannot vape whenever you want.
