My bones tingle

I always know when I am about to have a manic episode because my bones start tingling and I need to shake them. Next my thoughts will start racing.

Hey samples - are you in the process of trying a new med? I do hope that you feel better soon - I know mania is a rough one to endure- right now my depression is the problem

I was on fanapt and had a bad reaction. Since then I have been too afraid to call my pdoc to get put on a new one.

Sometimes one has to weigh out the options - on one hand the God awful crippling symptoms - on the other hand the meds with some side effects - that could eradicate the symptoms and bring some relief

5

I need the meds, I know. I am just afraid of calling and explaining. I am being stupid really.

You are not being stupid - your reaction to Fanapt was not a positive one so you fear that you may get a similar reaction or worse with another new med - I would be the same way. But sometimes our fears are bigger than the reality - you may find a new med that does not cause a lot of side effects and that may help you live a symptom free life

But, really that isn’t the issue. I am afraid to call! If I was calling about sunflowers, I would be afraid to call.

Make the call damn it. Get it over with. They can only help you.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.

In mania especially if you’re healthy and limber a good 2 mile run will leave stress behind. Don’t give up and listen to these ones here telling you to get help. Keep being a strong person!

Bryan is right - the call will help you not hurt you

I am trying. It took me a year to contact him the first time!

You sound like my husband.

Good sounds like you made some progress on this front - you will get some relief with the meds - suffering is not the way to go

Have you ever tried to physically run from your problems?

I was a cross country runner for years. At one point I could run 16 miles! I don’t run anymore.
