I'm going into hermitage

I have been all over the place since I changed meds last year.

I had to go back on ziprasidone and I have even gotten fat while trying other meds- it really is getting bad.

My solution is to hole up in my apartment and not come out much at all until summer school starts. I did this up in Kentucky when I changed meds the first time- now I am just changing them back to where they were, plus prazosin and minus xanax. I will probably be on here more because I will be spending the next three months as a hermit.

I will resume the pre-med schooling in June. Until then, I need to get in a routine with my days and also adjust to the medication being corrected. Solitude is actually kind of nice- this is basically a retreat for my health.

It’s cool being a hermit. It just means you’re closer to unearthing the great secret of the Universe. [laugh]

Really some solitude is necessary sometimes when dealing with people for a long time. Everyone needs some time to themselves to “get it together”. And then when you’ve recuperated … world domination! :sunglasses:

I’m trying to get into a habit of exercising daily myself for health and to keep weight stable.

Good for you!! Going to pre med school! But, I don’t know how wise it is to isolate yourself with this disease. Are you sz/sza? If you are, it is not wise. It will just exacerbate your symptoms. Good luck and God bless!

I think it’s good you’re being proactive about taking care of yourself while you’re adjusting to your med changes. Take care. :slight_smile:
