I would recommend everybody ask their pdocs about polypharmacotherapy when it comes to their AP’s. A lot of times, two AP’s work better than one. And if two don’t work, adding a third AP just might.

I’m on three AP’s and it was that third AP addition that did the trick for me in stabilizing me and getting rid of my worst psychosis.

I take Invega 12mg.

I missed my dose on saturday and by the time I took it on Sunday it had made me really dizzy and sick. Like when I was going through withdrawals from it last year when I quit for four days. But @everhopeful convinced me to get back on it.

I am back on Geodon as of today. I noticed my hallucinations are identifiable as such, not overwhelming like on Rexulti- I even tested it by going around my folks today- I noticed that I misheard my mom say something and asked her to repeat it, I didn’t just let it and the other voices I was hearing go- good stuff.

I also notice that my delusions are identifiable as delusions- I will start to think something strange and then recognize it as strange before believing it and not being able to convince myself otherwise- it is scary how powerful the symptoms can be.

The other news on my end is that I feel more awake and enjoying myself…also not suicidal tonight, which is a big change; I have been suicidal come every late evening for a while.

My appetite is normal, for some reason I binged and then purged- probably out of anxiety- it is an ancient coping mechanism in my mind- I was full blown anorexic at age 16. I then ate a bowl of cereal and feel normal now.

I should have never gone off the Geodon…I just needed prazosin for blood pressure and sleep…I am on it now, in fact I took the Geodon one day like a week or two ago, then slept pretty well on the prazosin. I guess I am back to where I left last summer- things were a sure bet, as in I was very much a safe bet by everyone who knew me when it came to graduate school. Well, I am accepted into a different (actually, better) program which starts in the fall…my lifestyle will fall back into place, I figure- I am controlling my environment, found out I can leave this apartment by paying two hundred bucks, and I found a new place to go- also joined a new gym- that and the new graduate program should have me sorted out, back on the meds I killed undergrad and got admitted to grad schools on- this stuff is reliable when it comes to making me function and experience symptom relief.

I really hope the insomnia doesnt happen on the prazosin, that would ruin my life. Here is hoping…maybe sacrifice a Velociraptor or perhaps bake a potato for the mercy of potato god for me.

My immediate family really needs me to become a licensed shrink so that we can support ourselves- times have been really rough, and my intellectual performance (I really am pretty accomplished in academia) is the ticket to better times, especially for me and my sister who also has bipolar, but she doesn’t have schizophrenia or PTSD like I do.

Geodon is dank.

Rexulti is BOOOOOWL OF SHYT

saprhis is whack
