I freaked out at the upstairs neighbors. I called the crisis center. I have two errands to do and I see my pdoc Thursday. I have been depressed delusional and manic since starting latuda. I vay quit drinking caffeine. I ■■■■■■ up y’all. I toldy crisis team I wanted to talk to my pdoc first before I go to crisis.
I’m sorry y’all. I’m so ■■■■■■ up idk what to do. I keep trying but I just fail. I wanted perphenazine back because I don’t act out like that.
@rogueone I wish my mind would take on your words. There’s no reason I should be going thru this. Sorry about long post.
I’m glad you see you’re sick…hold on…just get help as soon as you are able too and that’s what you sound like you’re doing so just hang in there…keep fighting the voices that sound like your neighbors.
Can I ask why you quit taking perphenazine. I’m on it right now and it works really well for symptoms. Sorry about your freak out for lack of better term. I’ve been there. I almost yelled at some neighbors one time but didn’t. The next day I was glad I didn’t cause I don’t think what I thought was going on was actually happening. Maybe you will find a way to move past it. It’s hard to deal with med struggles.
I quit perphenazine because I was dealing with voices all hours of the night talking babbling. When I started latuda the mania started and ever since then I have been sick. I hardly hear a peep from voices on latuda.
Interesting. i dont really hear voices on perphenazine. I’m actually surprised and remain kinda shocked at how well this med has worked for me. I figured I’d always hear voices cause I have for the past 15 years on all kinds of meds. I hope you get your meds sorted. It sucks balls waiting to see a doctor and going through a med switch/trial process. Thanks for the response.
I am on fluphenazine, generic prolixin…you might try that roxanna…I take 10 mg in the morning and then twelve hours later I take 10 mg at night too. works like I feel like I’m not even on meds…incredible…no side effects whatsoever and my pdoc recently let me know I am past the trial period possibility for tardive dyskenisia. yayyyy. perfect med really…try it…
Sorry to hear your struggling perphenizine for me was ok at best however haldol saved my life idk if it will help you though also try to remember your brain lies to you and plays tricks on you it’s part of the illness
Yes…i have been in a delusional state for 2 days. I had a lull at 1:45 today. My symptoms started escalating at 630pm. It’s 8:00 now and I’m Self soothing and using every tool i know to keep from getting back to the peak of my delusional state… my marriage just ended this last week. I’m going to in patient treatment on Thursday. It’s very stressful and feels like the world is falling out from under me
ended or divorce papers were signed? it’s not over unless you want it to be, maybe since you are kind of not medicated you are only going to get worse…you need an antipsychotic med. @Amber_Rose
Yes agreed… as we humans do…i have tried to self manage this illness. Unprepared and unqualified. I’m actually going to in treatment on Thursday. As long as i don’t end up in emergency room tonight. Lol… my anxiety of going into episode tonight is difficult.
Hey @roxanna . You can still get things better so be honest with your doc and figure out the meds that help you. It’s too much to struggle all the time and you know what you need to sort out. I’m sorry your struggling with it all but your worth the effort so please try and get the help you need.
It’s a journey but we’ve all got problems around here. I guess it is more how we deal with them but honestly…getting those meds right really makes a difference and sometimes you’ve got to do the work to make it happen.
Hey @roxanna, sorry I’m late to the party. Echoing what everyone else said. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help if it is needed. Lots of people here who care about you.
