i don't understand how i'm supposed to cope with depression and mood swings and hearing voices and having panic attacks and being in pain like a lot of pain everyday the meds help but not enough i'm starting to crack it's so fucking overpowering i can't take it
 
change your meds maybe? it's tough to cope man, but your situation is so particular that i can't just offer advice on here. Have you done the psychiatrist/psychologist thing? has therapy worked?
 
yeah i've done therapy most of my life and am currently seeing a psychiatrist have seen a bunch of psychologists and found what meds work best and now just get them form my regular doctor
 
thanks for the past couple of weeks i've been doing a lot better in the evenings like to the point of almost being normal so right now i'm good but tomorrow morning/afternoon is a different story
 
Hang in there and keep taking your meds. Are you still hearing the voices with your medication or only if you miss a dose? I was having a hard time sleeping last night and doubled up on geodon. Big mistake, yeah I slept but couldn't get out of bed until 2 pm. I still feel groggy now and know I'm going to be paying for it later tonight. But insomnia, I mean when you can't sleep for more than 2-3 days seems to exasperate auditory distubances for me. You're not alone, it won't be long before I need to check myself in again.
 
i hear the voices despite all the different anti psychotics i've been on but zyprexa helps me sleep so thats why i take it cause sleeping pills lose effectiveness quickly and zyprexa has worked at the same dose for years
 
Have you ever been on risperidone? Last time I was at the hospital they prescribed that. But a lot of these drugs make my blood pressure go up. Maybe your dosage of zyprexa could be adjusted or your doctor could recommend a daytime medicine too.

It's a tricky science, balancing these meds. Don't be afraid to tell your doctor how you're feeling.
Sending you a big hug! <3
 
More than a year ago I had a bunch of seroquel I had saved for when I couldn't sleep. One time I had a real bad reaction to it. I got pissed off and threw them into the bin. I could kick myself now because I could have just cut them in half. Now I have no insurance and can't afford to go see the pysch doctor. I never anticipated this going on for so long dammit. Plus that bottle of geodon is missing. I had only two capsules left and I think my son did something with it. Sorry for ranting, this would explain why he's been asleep since 9. :(

Yay! I found them, said child put them away for me. I hate being suspicious of him but it wouldn't be the
first time medications have disappeared on me. 29 days with no weed! I'm pulling for him, I know it's hard.
 
i'm on oxycodone and hydromophone for the pain but my tolerance is so large that it takes 450mg IV oxycodone or 80mg of hydromorphone twice a day and no doctor will prescribe that much medication
