How do we,who need to take medications daily,stay compliant,(take them as prescribed) and why do we go off them, knowing the results if we do.

Ken, I'm so glad that you're still around! Are you alone, or is there someone there with you?

Thanks!

I am glad you are too. Thanks for posting today.

I'm sorry you were so depressed. If you got out too soon, it's okay to go back. You can just call them and say that. Like Clough, I'd like to know if someone is with you.

Also, please post tomorrow. I would really like to hear more about how you are doing.

Clough

Hi, asking!

I tried to send you a private message, but your mailbox is full! Would you please empty it at least a little bit?

Thanks!

Ken, I am so glad to hear you are okay. At least physically. I too want to be sure someone is with you at all times. If not, I'll take some personal time off to help you through this.

Ken, you know as well as I do that switching medications can cause a "psychosis" such as this. As hard as it is, we have to remember the side effects and not follow through with the feelings they give us.

Feel free to email me anytime you want. I am not asking for unsolicited PMs or emails, Ken has my email already. I'll give you my phone number for you to call should you feel this desperate again. I only say this because i answer my phone 24/7, Ken is a friend, and I am a friend of his. Again, this is NOT asking to take questions or answers off the board, just supporting a friend.

I am not alone,there are at least 2 of me in here.....haha(at least he hasn't lost the sense of humor)

I am at the parents for the duration,thanks though,I wouldn't like to be alone at this time anyway,the girlfriend would spend more time with me if she wasn't too busy either.

I am going to the therapist on Tue.but if this keeps up I am going back inpatient before then anyway.

Clough

Thanks again for responding, Ken! I can't remember if you have any background in playing a musical instrument or singing.

Do you?

Thanks!

I can't seem to get to sleep, but I do sleep about 6 hours each night(so far)

I am a little delirious(thank god for spell check)Some higher functions(like typing)are slow to return,but I seem ok for now.

I am HIGHLY reactive to caffeine.I have a cup(big one) of coffee and 1/2 of a mountain dew,then it's Propel water for the rest of the day/evenings,I shake uncontrollably even now(9:30 PM),,,maybe no more caffeine for me for a while.

I have had many 'episodes' and I am now being treated like a child with no responsibility as to when to take meds and I am ok with this,,,,for now,sometime I will want those concerns removed,but best for now they are as they are.

I will write back as often as I can,,thanks for looking into this thread everyone.

I played Violin for some years then Cello for more,but that was quite a while back,doubt I have much of those skills left.

Clough

Now, I do remember!

Do you still have the instruments? Do you like to write poetry or lyrics?

Thanks!
