50 days smoke free
Looking forward to Monday because I have an intake appointment to do an Outpatient program that is Mon- Fri , 9-12pm, it consists of group therapy and med management.
I am tired of living like this anymore. Its absolutely exhausting, being all over the place, all the time, I need help and I am willing to do whatever it takes. Its miserable, I bet others with this understand.
This new med Saphris, is giving me serious memory trouble, slurred speech, trouble completing sentences, out of sorts, I go from fine 1 hr to hysterical crying the next hr, having trouble clearing my throat.

Hugs, I\'m behind you 100%!!! Love \'ya!
THE MED YOU\'RE ON SOUNDS VICIOUS!!
ALL PSYCH MEDS HAVE SOME OF THE WORST SIDE EFFECTS. THEY SAY THE SIDE EFFECTS WEAR OFF IN A FEW WEEKS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THAT I COULDN\'T TAKE LONG ENOUGH.
ARE YOUR SIDE EFFECTS ANY BETTER SINCE YOU STARTED TAKING IT?
I wish I had your courage. I live an exhausting emotional life as well, that has led to serious depression, anxiety, and even physical pain. I\'ve tried anti-depressants and the mood stabilizer neurontin. Neurontin is suppose to kill two bird with one stone - stabilize my moods, since chronic pain is so stressful, and contributes to the chronic depression, and stop the fibromyalgia pain. Never really worked. Shoot, I\'d drink dog pee is they told me that would absolutely cure me of anything!
Good for you that you\'re finding what works and taking care of yourself!
I wish you all the best!
I hope things work out for you -- it sounds wretched right now. (((((Hugs)))))
I\'m so happy on your 50 days smoke free! Awesome job. I tried various drugs even lithium but they did not work on me (happens to 10%). Lucky me. I hope it works for you.
Hello My Friend Stacey, I haven\'t been on in a few days, but I\'ve been keeping up with your new updates. I\'m not really familiar with Saphris, but I\'m going to check it out. I really don\'t know how you do as much as you do, you are so active, which is great. I wish I could be more like that. I\'m in a really bad depression,and sleep way too much. I have been out of the house 2 times this week,which is a record for me. But, I really ejoyed it, once I got out. I think I saw you mention in one of your entries that you are not sure you are that crazy about your new Pdoc. If I wasn\'t 100% satisfied with our relationship I would keep looking. It\'s a a very hard process, as you know, I have been through a lot of bad ones and finally found one that I don\'t want to give up. I can\'t remember if I\'ve mentioned the med. trileptal to you before. It is an anti-seizure med. I had shock treatments 8 yrs. ago and was put on this for mood stabilization. It has worked the best for me.I was really sick at my stomach at first, but then started it at night and that got much better. That\'s just an idea I\'m throwing out. I\'ll be keeping up with you. Your son\'s birthday party sounds like it will be great fun for everyone.He\'ll never forget it!
