I mix, rapid cycle, shake well, lather, rinse and repeat.

The thing that seems the worst to me is when uncontrolled rage swan dives into the pool. No one else deserves to experience that facet of it and I hate that something like that can possibly come put of me. I have been this way for so long now that I can often tell what's happenng and about to happen, warn the family, and send myself to my bedroom til it passes. When not at home, though ... well, then I'm not the only one at Target anymore that's gonna need therapy. lol

Hey bywena - it sounds uncomfortable and sorry you are feeling poorly. Hope you’ve been able to get a little sleep.

bywena have you considered talking to your pdoc about this? If it's been going on for 3 months now, you might need a med adjustment.
Seems a lot of folks can do fine for awhile but all of a sudden things aren't working so well and they need their meds adjusted. I wonder why that happens.

Hey girl, I know your pretty sensitive to meds and can only tolerate a certain few. Sorry the mixed states are happening, they are definitely a trial to go through. As long as been dealing with this disease it's not unusual for the brain to become med-resistant, sometimes you have to give it a break and let it re-set and get used to the drugs again.

Mine came in the for of 39 sessions of ECT before meds could be reintroduced and actually worked again.

I know your Psychnurse isn't the greatest but maybe talk to her and see if there is anything she can think of.....

Hang in there.
