  Funny Face

  From RemissionEventually Saturday

  Abilify: the 1st few days my appitite was basicly nonexistant and threw up everything I ate (I still dont have much of an appetite and I've actually lost weight in the in the hospital; almost 10lbs) then after that I had an adverse reaction and my neck turned all the way to the left and I couldnt turn it back so the nurse had to lay me on my bed and shoot benedril on my backside (not fun). But it does help with the obsessive thoughts. In fact I havent had them at all in almost a week!!! Its slowly helping my paranoia as well. I've had like 3 paranoid episodes in the hospital (once again--not fun) and my last one wasnt nearly as bad as my other ones. I was actually able to talk to my mom during it.
  
  Lithium: It makes me really thristy, dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous. It also makes my hands shake. Like last night my mom brought me some lemonade during visiting and I couldnt open the bottle. Talk about frustrating. I've only been taking it for a few days and I know these unpleasant side effects will go away with time, but for now: THEY SUCK!!!
  By the way, we also got a free turkey lol.

  Hey I'm back!!! But only for 6hrs 'cause I got a pass to leave the hospital. When I walked through the door with my mom, my younger sister Jennah screamed to the top of her lungs. She ran and hugged me so tight, then she started crying. It was a really heart filled moment.
  I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo glad to be home, even if it is only for 6hrs. Thank you for all your hugs when I was gone. Our thanksgiving is pretty low key as well though a few members of my extended family drop by every now and then. Unfortunately, with the way things are looking now. I'll probably still be in the hospital. But think I can get a pass for thanksgiving too. Ugh I swear I'm gonna be in that hospital forever!!! So much has happened. Just to let you know they did change my seroquel to abilify, but, they also change my mood stablizing drug ,depakote, to lithium. The only reason they did that was because the depakote was slaughtering my white blood cell count. You how when you get the results from blood work and how it might say "high" or "low", well on the white blood cell count portion of my results said "Alert!!". Now I'm dealing with the side effects of the meds.

  My day's been ok, still depressed. I had another mini paranoid episode. My mom called my pdoc right away and he wants to switch my anti psychotic medication from seroquel to abilify since my seroquel is no longer working effectively. And because making the transition can be kinda ugly, I have to go back to hospital. Its bitter sweet I guess. I mean I'm happy because I'll be getting the help I need but then again I'm a little frustrated because I have to miss more school. So I'm leaving tonight and I'll be back god knows when lol. Hope this wont be a long stay. Wish me luck. :)

  I definatly try that. Thanks so much for your advice and kind words. A good thing is, I'm actually dead tired so I'm gonna go to bed. I know its kinda late but its ok I have thursday and friday off because of some teacher's convention, so I'll be able to get enough rest. Thank you again for everything. :)
