Yeah. It’s stupid. I think most hospital staff are sociopaths. Literally. I think they get the job for the power over peoples lives

My best friend is a doctor and hates it.
She loathes people.
But she wanted that MONEY.

Yup. I’m not surprised she is only in it for money. It’s sad really. It’s an opportunity to really make a positive difference in people’s lives

I guess to say she’s only in it for the money isn’t fair.
She’s also in it for the social aspect of being called Dr. Soandso.

Johnathan I understand your concerns with the Clozapine. If you can manage it without then it’s ok. You see I quite Geodon and Seroquel one month ago and got uppered in the depot but the insomnia lasted for one month. The reason why I quit was that Geodon made me manic and aggressive. So this is one I’ll never take again. The Seroquel I do regret that I gave up on. So I’m restarting 400 mg Seroquel very soon because I just need to stay calm. If you feel sleepless or agitated then please consider restarting the Clozapine again. I know that it’s one of the hardest things in the world to hear voices. But maybe one day they’ll just vanish as in my case.

Im on two antipsychotics, 5 mg olanzapine and 1.5 mg of Vraylar. I don’t like the idea of being on two antipsychotics even it’s a low dose, but i have to accept that my life has improved since this double medication started.

No they are not sociopaths, but i know what you mean. Every day the staff see people breaking apart and therefore becomes insensitive of human suffering. It’s like they treat you as an object with certain symptoms, they don’t treat and talk to you like a person in flesh and blood.
Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry you went through that. Sounds traumatic.

I take Lithium Carbonate (600mg, 2x/day), Latuda (80mg), and Seroquel (700mg).
I would really like to drop the Seroquel and maybe try a different AP, but keep Latuda and Lithium Carbonate. Seroquel has given me a gut that sticks out too much. (sigh)
I quit social work because i became fed up with people
Being a social worker is tough.
I know lots of people that were so excited in college to be social workers and make a difference.
Fifteen years later I don’t think a single one of them is still in the field.

I was over medicated being on 40mg of olanzapine for 17 years and it f*cked my brains ability to sleep, gave me diabetes, made me fat, and I have stretch marks. I hate olanzapine.
Lurasidone has been wonderful though. I work two jobs, lost weight and feel good.
Yeah. It was scary to be hated by people who I literally needed to survive. I couldn’t even swallow or walk or use my right hand. Plus, I kept getting confused. So glad I recovered after all the therapy I needed for it
