Feeling like crap

Health and Recovery

Feeling like sh-it. My cracked brain is bothering me a lot today.

I feel like something is sucking the energy from me…

I hope I’ll feel better soon.

Do you feel somewhat sedated and depressed? That could be because of the medication.

I can’t really pinpoint the feeling. But that’s a close one. Feeling very negative! I drank three cups of coffee but it didn’t help.

Try drinking an energy drink. One that has a lot of vitamins, like Monster

I avoid drinking energy drinks. I just don’t like them.

Mmm, maybe you should look for a stimulant other than coffee, have you tried high doses of vitamin B12? If you have any vitamin B supplements, try that.

Yes, i have B12 at home. I just don’t think that’ll help.

And why don’t you like energy drinks? Because of the sugar? I don’t know what to recommend. Try going for a walk.

I’ll rest until it’s morning and then I’ll take a much needed shower. I hope it’ll help.

I give you some advice, look in the market for sugar-free energy drinks, in my country they sell them. If you see that you are not improving, talk to your doctor.

I feel like crap too but with my intellect. I score like 110 or less now. I was a math major in college back in 2011 but got sick.

I tried studying for the first actuarial exam on Abilify years back but was too slow. It was hard. I have given up.

I like the energy drinks. I drink low carb monster. I am not diabetic yet. I drink like 7 a day which is really bad, so I don’t recommend starting.

I smoke too to cope. My medications slow me down and sedate me. I sometimes feel schizophrenia is sometimes progressive.

I’m on Zyprexa now. It’s been like a month. I might go on 20 mg next month.

I feel mixed overall I guess. I seem to have better attention or focus and can challenge or reject delusions better.

I need to work on my hygiene, cleanliness, and stuff like that.

I guess the overall message is don’t drink energy drinks or smoke cigarettes. It weakens the medications and is bad for your health. It’s expensive too!

I think Zyprexa works better, or hits more neurotransmitters than Vraylar. I didn’t want to try clozaril because of the blood tests right now.

I’m on olanzapine 20mg and 1.5mg vraylar. The combination works but it leaves me irritable and I have heartburn from it.

I don’t smoke and I quit tobacco a year ago.

I never liked soft drinks nor energy drinks. I only drink coffee.

I’m sorry about you not being able to study. Something similar happened to me. I had to give up my studies.

Now I mostly sleep, lie on the couch and do nothing basically.

I started taking walks recently. I’ll try to walk 1-2 times a week.
