Feeling on edge again

I’m feeling very edgy tonight.
Like I’m going to lose it any moment.

I hope it’s not the new generic risperidone causing this.

I only had 3 cups of coffee today, so I don’t think it’s that.

Felt like this a bit yesterday but today it’s worse.

Having some paranoid thoughts as well.

It probably isn’t. I have good days and bad days too. It’s hopefully just a bad day. I normally take a nap when things get tough. It helps.

I’m too hyped up and edgy to take a nap.
Maybe the family gathering I went to yesterday took its toll on me.

Ah. That’s probably it. I get what I call a “people hangover” after a family gathering.

Are you feeling better now @everhopeful?
I know that you’ve had some rough days lately.

@Vertigo, you say you are hyped up and edgy. Are you hypomanic? Do you think you will be able to sleep tonight?

Yes. Thanks wave. It was self inflicted I think. NAC seemed to interact with my abilify. I’ve stopped taking it now and things are back to “normal”. Thanks for asking.

It kind of does feel like a mixed episode, it’s hard to tell.

I haven’t been sleeping all that great lately @SkinnyMe.

Thanks for asking.

You’ve been sensitive to generics in the past, if I remember. Can you give yourself some extra TLC and doctor/therapy/case worker appointments until you adjust? It should only take a week or two, if that’s your problem.

If you haven’t slept more than four hours a night and it goes on for over three nights in a row, it’s time to call you know who. But, I’m sure you know that, @Vertigo.

Try to remind yourself what’s real and what’s not. My therapist calls it absolutes

I see my pdoc this week, I’ll talk to her about possibly switching to brand name Risperdal.
Thanks @Ninjastar.

Brand name Risperdal is great.

I find brand name Risperdal to be more potent than generics.
If I go to 4mg quickly, my heart starts racing. (tachycardia)

I take brand name Seroquel.

have you gotten out of the house at all? your serotonin could be low if your in the U.s. or canada because we havent had storms and not so much sunlight. Some exercise would help! a good walk, run, 10 sit ups, anything!

I went out of the house yesterday.
It’s too icy to leave the house and way too cold.
It’s only in the teens!

I called my pharmacy and the brand name is too expensive.

Over 100 dollars for a 90 day supply!

Guess I’m stuck with this generic manufacturer.
