I don't like working because when I work I have to take my meds to be able to do so. When I don't work I don't have to. Needless to say they make me fuzzy and stupid or maybe it is the marijuana I smoked once a year ago that induced a psychotic disorder. Well I managed to get a job that pays bank ($2,000 a month) and I worked at it (an at home nursing type of thing) for three weeks before the client, not my boss told me to go home. They were angry because I dressed their father in ugly clothing. My boss never said I was fired, he said to go home. The whole experience has been really draining on me, I've lost sleep and the meds make me feel stupid. If my boss asks me if I want to accept a different household job, should I take it? I feel stupid on the antipsychotics I have to take because I am paranoid about my employer. When I don't work I can get by on just omega 3's. I feel like I started to develop a bit of tardive dyskenesia as well but it could be my imagination, ticks in my eye. They pay bank though and I need the money because I plan to move. Should I go back if asked, the money is really good but I feel stupid on my meds?

Were the meds and dosages prescribed very recently? If it's been more than six months, you might want med level check--draw blood, do a general blood profile. You shouldn't feel stupid if you're getting the right dose. Is you diet and general health good?

You say you need the meds to work. I do to but depending on the job. Is that because the job is stressful to you or because you can allow yourself to "let loose" for lack of a better term? Or some other reason? Since you expect to be there for a limited amount of time and it pays decently I would tend to lean towards the offered position. My phrase of the week for my own job: "think of it like an overpaid Starbucks job." It's a means to an end.

I don't have enough information about you but I would suggest looking at this as a positive learning experience and evaluate (when you are less stressed) what you liked and hated about the job. If you take the house job you can do the same thing. Look at it as more information. I think it is particularly important for people like us to find a career and position that are well suited to our temperament. There are so many options and I (think) you are pretty near the beginning of discovering this. Perhaps this would be something to look forward to?

And it could be your fashion choices are way too trendy for those backward people

Answer to poster one: Even a low dose of a horse tranquilizer like Zyprexa will knock me out. Hence the stupidity. Yet it is the only anti that puts me to sleep.
Poster 2: I will think of it as a "Starbucks" job and work there a few more weeks. Til May 1st to be precise.
