That’s good ale. You are very fortunate that you neither have no positives or negatives. I think that the future will bring you lots of opportunities.

I know so many people who are very happy to be on fluanxol(depixol) and they are all ways in such a good mood.

You going to get a depot too buddy?
Yes. 75mg Invega every 28 days. First time I am getting it in the gluteal muscle. I normally take it in the arms.

Yeah I prefer mine in the gluteal muscle. For me it is a lot less painful.

When I was on Abilify shots I always got my shot in the gluteal muscle too.
Less painful and only mildly embarrassing.
However,
When I went to an ER that didn’t have my records,
They accused me of using steroids.
Illegal steroids.
Like a bodybuilder or something.
I was shocked and didn’t know what to say.
Well, they had done a CT and saw all the little needle stick bubbles in my ass, right at the same place.
I explained that’s how I got my abilify, they accepted that answer but I still think one nurse had doubts.
I wanted to be like “I’m an almost forty year old, overweight woman. Why would I be on hardcore steroids?”
People in the ER can be â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– sometimes.

You should have! I’m sick and tired of being mistreated by medical staff in hospitals.

Me too.
I realize they don’t have easy jobs,
But they signed up for the â– â– â– â– ,
They need to at least be decent to their patients.
The things I’ve heard in the ER are ridiculous and insulting.

Yeah. I once got brain lesions on the left side of my brain which was proven with scans, and lost my whole right side, my right side of my face was sagging and I couldn’t swallow. I was on NPO orders - nothing by mouth. A nurse saw I was mentally I’ll in my chart, decided I was faking, and forced me to try to eat graham crackers. I choked. Of course. It was awful how mean they were to me. The drs even called a psychiatrist and figured I was faking too. The psychiatrist was like how can she fake brain lesions etc?! It was so awful

Great idea for a thread @Jimbob !
I’m on Abilify 15mg, and it’s like playing a mental lottery every day. Will the day be good or bad? Place your bets!
It keeps me out of hospital I guess.

That’s terrible.
I was refused help in a hospital because I “didn’t look schizophrenic”.
I was having a full on psychotic episode, but because I was wearing a suit,
They told me I wasn’t schizophrenic, I just needed some sleep.
Gave me ambien and made me leave.
Had to have my doctor call them, then go back in.
The same nurse was there and she was a total â– â– â– â– â– to me.
I don’t get it.

I quit clozapine a week ago. I decided I will only take it if I can’t sleep because I’m hearing voices constantly. Only happened once so far and I hope it happens less and less.
Just want to stick to one AP (Invega).
