Here I’m not on it atm
Are you on meds? Because if you are, anti-acids can mess up your meds. They interact with anti-psychotics. At least with risperidone it does. Look into it and you might find some interesting things online. Btw, I have had in the past problems like yours. Even now, when I hear a song, I feel like it describes my life. Then I get depressed a little, especially if its a sad song. No one needs you to be nice and to not be a bother. They need you to speak up . That way, they can help you.
I’m on Invega an Seroquel.
I didn’t know they could interact?
Were you the person who started having weird dreams after starting the antacids? If so, it might be worth mentioning tomorrow.
Yes that’s me. I’ll mention it to her
If you want to stop taking antacids you can replace it with a small glass of milk. I find that they just give you more heartburn than you did in the first place anyway.
I’m lactose intolerant and can’t afford lactose free milk
Shame because I always found that helps for me.
I’m glad your seeing your nurse soon @Pikasaur.
Hang in there.
You might need a journal @Pikasaur to keep records of when you wake up, go to bed, nap, eat, meds, and moods, it might give your healthcare team a better idea of how they can help you
Hang in there @Pikasaur! Maybe this will be a transient thing and you will feel better soon. Be sure and tell your nurse everything and get the help you need. Take care.
I texted my nurse and told her what the voices are doing, and that I might need a stronger prn.
She hasn’t responded yet, but she’s not supposed to call me for another 4 hours, so she’s probably busy.
I have a feeling today is gonna be long.
UPDATE:
My pnurse came by after talking to the doctor. She’s raising my Invega to 12mg, and my prn to 6xdaily max.
and she’s coming by again tomorrow to see how I’m doing.
It’s going to be a frustrating two weeks until the side effects from the upped dose subside, but hopefully it’ll help
Good service to have a nurse at your place when you need her. We don’t have such thing in my country
