I have to say it’s a shame you’re getting metabolic issues already, you’re so young, sometimes I hate APs but they are so needed. __________________ Hugs! |

But the AP's definitely have a lot to do with it. I just hope I don't end up getting full blown type 2 diabetes. |

Problem is the APs can change your brain so that you crave stuff that’s bad and can’t stop eating....zyprexa especially. I hope you don’t end up with diabetes either but the metformin should help. __________________ Hugs! |

Falcs,
I also have high cholesterol, and I got my a1c checked. It's on the higher end of the recommended range. I will talk to my doctor about the ap and weight gain/etc. But most doctors I've seen dont want to prescribe me metformin. And my previous physician/doctor didnt want to either. __________________ "We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living"

My cholesterol is high as well. I'm working on my diet though. I cut way back on junk food and am cutting it out pretty much completely now with the exception of special occasions and holidays. By junk food I mostly mean sweets, pastries, candy bars , ice cream etc that's the stuff I've been addicted to for a long time. I have an insane sweet tooth.

I think the Vyvanse has been saving me from all these AP problems.
I don't think I've ever had stimulant psychosis before. I'm not sure if dopamine is the problem for me. I've taken high doses of 15+ different stimulants but that was all while on an antipsychotic. Maybe I just hated antipsychotics and needed to balance them out. I do believe that eating a lot of sugar when I started high school could have caused schizophrenia. A loooott of sugar. 2L bottle of coke a day and sweets. |

I'm ok I think. I shouldn't have took a drag from that joint. Never again. Psychedelics = Never again.
I've learned my lesson. But interest in psychedelics seemed to be apart of my psychosis because it inspired me and helped with negative symptoms.. But I wanted the negative symptoms to be gone.. So I tried anything to get rid of them.. It's not fair.. People say it isn't my fault but I don't care who's fault it is anymore. I can't go insane while my mom has breast cancer. She would be broken if I did. I need to take care of myself. But I want friends and people to talk to.. That's why I talk here.. It's so hard for me to do things.. But this is more coherent than my last post that I deleted. I was just trying to explain what is wrong with me. I'm sick of sleeping so much. I don't think I physically need to sleep 12 hours a night. Before I know it, I have to go to sleep again. And I do. I sleep another 12 hours. Wtf?? I feel so sad and frustrated. I just want everything to be good and go on a holiday. My ex step dad dying wouldn't affect me. I don't care if he dies or not but he affected me so much. I think I might have PTSD from that, the hospital admissions, the bad trip, etc... |

I'm feeling sort of okay today. I'm not feeling as good as yesterday. There's a bit of something pulling on my chest and that's a sign that I'm sad or something. I have to try to figure out something hard at work and I'm stressed about it. I'm trying to be okay. Like I am trying so hard to use the momentum I got from seeing my PDOC and seeing my therapist, to not let the depression take over and put me in a bad spot again. But it's like I feel something pulling on me and I don't know what to do about it. I know that's not a great description, that's just what I can come up with. HUGS Kit

I don't think I'm hiding my depression well today. The GM came to see me and was like, is everything okay? You don't look like everything is okay. Your face is telling me something is wrong. Are you sure everything is okay? OMG! I felt interrogated. I need to be a better actor and just be like everything is swell! Sheesh.
