Day 2 of Taper

Today I woke up with a migraine again. I think it's because I'm tapering the Risperdal. I've had trouble in the past withdrawing from it, and I think it's happening again. I feel out of control for short periods of time. I think this means I should taper slower. I went from 6mg to 4.5mg and that was too fast. I think I'm going to see how it goes from 6mg to 5mg. I couldn't go to work today because of the headache. Tomorrow I have to go grocery shopping and I need to get cat food for Angela and contact lenses for myself. I got some money from my stepdad, so I can get the little things that I normally go without. That's why he sends me money. When I was in LA, he would bring me groceries since I didn't have a lot of money. Now he sends me money since he can't buy me groceries. I use some money on food, of course, but it's also for little things. I don't have food stamps anymore, so I have to pay out of my own pocket for food. That, and they took money from my account for my Medicare so I get less money a month. I do save a lot of money on medical bills, so that more than makes up for that.
I slept almost all day today and I want to sleep more... I think it's the withdrawal as well. I just have no energy and my body aches. It's like I'm getting sick. I'm also coughing a bit so I just may be getting sick. I got my flu shot, so I should be okay, but you never know. I may have caught something at the doctor's office or at work. I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.. I should go to bed soon, even though it's just after 9pm. Oh, and I forgot to mention Geo and I had a nice date today. We went to a Thai place and had this chicken with glass noodles and veggies. It was so good, and I'm actually not hungry right now. I took out some ground beef for dinner, but it didn't defrost in time and so we decided to go out to eat. We had a nice time just talking and eating. Our big TV is messed up, so Geo took the smaller TV into the living room and is using that one. It's kinda a pain, but so far it's doing good.
Okay, so that's me for the past couple of days :)
