So i am going off vraylar i was on 4.5 mg over a 3 weeks period so i can start caplyta because my vraylar stopped working for me and i am severely depressed and it happened fast. I am have SEVERE anxiety and nervousness i feel like im shaking inside i can not keep my feet still i gotta be doing something with my hands all the time im awake . My klonopin i nomrally just take at night now i did take one this morning it did help calm me down some but not completly. I feel like i am going crazy i hate this i always get bad withdraws. I am glad i have the klonopin and will be glad when the changes are done. i just need support right now. My drs aware of how i get which is why i have the klonopin i only try not to take the klonopin because it makes me sleep even more than i already am so much of right now but i need to calm the withdraws.

Aww yea you totally made sense, I have definitely been there, you really explained it well. I’m glad you have the klonopin to try to take the edge off a little, & stay hydrated, sorry I’m probably telling you stuff you already know. I hope you get to the other side of this sooner than later.
Until then let Abby take care of you & know that we support & care about you. You’re being super strong

Sending support, strength & many prayers

Thank you both, this is so hard but were a little more on top of it today. I caught it faster when the anxiety was getting bad today so matt grabbed me a klonopin sooner and that is helping. I washed my hair and got dressed and Matts helping me do 3 loads of laundry or 4 depending how much i get too.

Glad you're hanging in there and keeping the promise you made to your dad on his deathbed that you wouldn't give in to self harm, AJ. It won't be long before those meds will kick in and you won't have to fight those urges so much, it'll get easier. This is the hard part, and we're here for you through it, ok?

My shrink wants to see me again tomorrow because of the hard time im having with withdraws... I hate being so needy :( I wish i could just hide in the background and be able to take care of myself but i push myself to ask for help and its so hard.

Don't worry about appearing to be needy, AJ, it's good your shrink is following up like this. Let yourself be cared for.

Hi Angelajo i`am proud of you hang in there turn to the Father(God) for strength he is there to help you through your trial his word is true. I know that Jesus will always stand by your side, if you ask him too. Jesus will i know, He never will, for he has promised in Hebrews 13 : 5 -6 he said never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we can say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. Stay strong and hold on, my heart and prayers goes out to you Hugs!!!

    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.
