The voices haven't come back yet, but I started hearing music. It was like a classical music with long tones. Then about an hour before that, I was hearing a phone vibrating under my covers, but it wasn't MY phone because I was using it to browse websites and text people. I couldn't locate the vibrating phone. It only vibrated 3 times, though.
I'm afraid the voices will come back. I hadn't been taking my medication until last night (after I FINALLY stopped vomiting), and I was being non-compliant before too. So my AP has been out of my system and was only reintroduced yesterday. Sucks. |

At least you're taking them now. The noises in your head will likely go away once the AP is in your system which should not take that long. Big hugs.

I hope the AP helps. Sorry you're experiencing this, sounds frustrating.

Glad you are back on your Meds. Hope you feel better soon. Just for the record I read an article that many people now in the cell phone age experience weird sensations regarding their phones. They think the feel it vibrate and its not in their pocket, or they think the hear the incoming texts message ping and there is no message. Its a pretty common occurrence evidently. Sometimes I hear my phone ping and the sound is coming from like another room and Im holding my phone so I know it wasnt my phone.

Have you talked to your pdoc or the pharmacist about how to get to a therapeutic dose again? I'm sorry you have to go through this. Is there a way to make you more compliant (I hate that word)?

I dont really use my iPod because I can pretty much go through a playlist in my head. When its one song over and over...thats when it bugs me. I had that song I hate myself for loving you stuck in my head yesterday. I was lucky enough to finally realize that Im going through an anger phase about my 2 sisters dying on me without my permission this past year. *sigh* __________________ Eat a live frog for breakfast every morning and nothing worse can happen to you that day!

The music was coming from my dresser and then my pillow. It's not in my head. It's external. And the last time I had music (about 3 weeks ago), it was saying my name. It kept trying to get my attention.

The only thing I can do to be more compliant is to probably use a pill box because that's helped me before. (A good part of the problem is me being too lazy to take my meds out of the bottles and count them every night, so when I do it in advance and I have it in front of me, it's a lot easier.) I also have to figure out how to not choke on my lamictal... because that leads to vomiting sometimes. |

What about asking your pharmacist to put your medications into a blister pack? It may cost something but it may be a good option for you.

Since my phone is on vibrate all the time, I do get a "phantom" vibration occasionally. It's like an anticipatory reflex.
Blue, I hope the intake goes well and you get the help you need. |

I get this too especially when I'm not stable. It's not just a small tune you humming our head. It takes over your thoughts. Over and over the same song or phrase or riff plays inside your head and it just won't stop.

Well, I had a therapy appt and a pdoc appt today.
Therapy went well. We talked about how my symptoms have resurfaced after vomiting and not taking meds for a while. I mentioned the music etc., and she said to try to drown it out with my own music. New pdoc was really, really nice and is helping me appeal my insurance's decision to not cover Rexulti. (Stupid old pdoc was useless on that end. He basically gave up instead of helping me.) Rexulti is the only thing that makes me feel better and doesn't sedate me! When I got home from my pdoc appt, though, (which was not too long ago) I saw a lot of water dripping from the middle of the ceiling in my apartment. Seriously, a lot dripped. But when I looked up at the ceiling, I saw no water coming and I couldn't find the source. When I looked at the floor underneath, I saw no water. I don't know what happened to the water, but it's weirding me out. |
