Roll Call 114

Still sick. Called in sick to work yesterday and went home after 1/2 hour today. Saw the doctor today as well. He says it sounds like I have one of the bugs that are going around I just need to keep up with electrolytes and **** and should be good soon. There was some concern from people it was my meds but nah just stupid getting sick.

I got the flu shot months ago but like the doctor says it only eliminates the threat of some viruses but not all.

Stupid viruses. Hopefully I’ll be 100% after this weekend. This week was a complete waste just being sick.

There's a new magic med combo, latuda and trintellix, supposed to work in treatment resistant people. Only done at the case study level though.

Thanks! I’m currently trying to wean myself off olanzapine so I can’t try a new med. Though I’ve been on all but one of the atypicals and a couple of the older ones. I’m hoping they will let me try amisulpride. If they suggest clozapine again I’m guna snap!

I’ll be honest I didn’t even know latuda was available in the uk. I’ve never heard any pdocs here mention it. I don’t know if I’d be classed as treatment resistant. The olanzapine works to a point but I still get problems. All the others I’ve tried haven’t worked. If I get an appointment with my pdoc I’ll ask him what my options are. Thanks for the advice sp!

Amisulpride made me into a zombie with akathisia. Of course may be a completely different story for you. Hopefully you’ll get a productive convo with your pdoc.

It may not be, but its been out a few years in the states and trintellix is relatively new too. I'm just excited about the new med combo because it also treats cognition and negative symptoms but its only based on three individuals. I just brought up treatment resistant because you mentioned clozapine which is typically used for that.

Aw thanks guys hope you’re all well

Hey...someone was wondering where u were at! Good to see yq

That’s nice to hear, thanks junk! (I always feel harsh calling you junk haha)

Oh dear that doesn’t sound good. Sorry you had that experience!
I’ve tried ones before that people have said turn them into zombies so hopefully you’re right and it won’t be as bad for me. Thanks loial

That does sound exciting. It’s good to know people are still trying to solve the problem of negative symptoms, I think they get overlooked a lot.
Ah I see, yeah I think they do use it for that.
Another thing I’ve been told by a couple of pdocs is that the more you relapse the more likely you are to become treatment resistant. Does anyone know if that’s actually true?

I got 2 emails back from those jobs i applied to! Just gotta take a test! But also waiting for more info and doing googling about working on disability.

New food delivery place, job call back, bf coming over tomorrow, check coming in next week, valentines day next month (so going to hotel possibly), iphone case coming today.

Today is a good day kinda. Really looking forward to the next 2-3 weeks.

Just got off the phone with the bf too!

Um why tf is amazon taking photos of my property????

Must be a new thing they rolled out. Im kinda upset. They mustve just done this because ive been home all day.... makes me paranoid...

There is actually an even newer feature where you can let them in your house

Ooh what kind of test? I know when I worked for a temp agency they made me take some altitude test, a typing test, a Microsoft Word test, and a Microsoft Excel test. This current job they made me take a couple typing tests.

Im not sure. Im guessing since its a social media Evaluator job it has to do something with social media. Once i sign a non-disclosure agreement i cant talk about it.

You can be vague and tell us brief details about it
