Yeah so I'll confess
last night I was in a crying fit but I wanted to sleep. So I always keep my old meds because I figure I may have an emergency where I need them for some reason.
Any how back to the story. Now Geodon and anti psychotics like it give me dystonia that is potentially dangerous. But I know that the first day I take it, it knocks me out cold. And I usually wake up refreshed the next day. I loved geodon back when I could still take it. Though I do hate that it made me gain so much weight.
So you can guess by now that this means I took one last night to get to sleep. It's been a while since I've been put on Geodon and I have wondered if maybe my brain has healed and I could take it again.
I doubt it. So I dare not take one tonight or for a good long while.
If I thought I could take it I'd ask my pdoc believe me.
So go ahead and tell me how irresponsible I am to abuse meds like that. I deserve it.
Or just your general thoughts on it.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I went through something similar with Lamictal... It was working so well but I started with a rash... I wasn't sure if it was the Lamictal or not and neither was the doc however she took me off of it....I had a lot so I tried it again however I did have to stop it...
I'm glad you were at least able to get a good nights sleep sweetie..x
