It’s been a while since I last posted. As some of you may have known, I had a relapse in August and September. But in October I recovered.
Things largely settled down. I even went to the dentist - something I put off for several years. I have three false teeth now since a week ago. My smile is normal again, no gap teeth. I was so glad I went finally!
I read spiritual books, contemplated more prayers, even did some more prayers. But although my symptoms weren’t there, my mind was so restless! I struggled to read books finished.
Now since a few days ago, some symptoms came up again. The radio in my head got more insistent and this morning I experienced it hijacking my brain again. I still can’t concentrate, my mind wanders off so much, I can’t focus it. And now since a few days ago Alien the evil spirit is inserting thoughts again…
After a month of doing so well…I hope it’s just a glitch. Will have to watch myself now, write the symptoms down for dr. My next appointment is in a week or two’s time. I hope I don’t need more meds! It’s so expensive already…
I’m on 500mg amisulpride and 5mg haloperidol and 250mg lamotrigine. The amisulpride is usually the med they tweak the most. I was once prescribed 800mg at the most. But the price! I tried risperidone as a result but it didn’t work and so I had to return to amisulpride, the only med that works on its own. The haloperidol works too, but then I’d need a higher dose. And that means side effects…
Phew it’s quite a discussion to have with dr…
Ohhhh I hate this radio in my head!!! Drives me nuts!
