Yeah my doctor explained that higher doses are for the antipsychotic properties

Thats interesting. Roll Call 145Roll Call 145Roll Call 145

Cbd in low doses causes sleep. High doses is like sativa. Energy causing.

Ugh. I’m sorry. I understand not wanting an increase. Maybe if you can talk to someone you can nip it before that.

I’m feeling off.
Not sure what it is. Can’t really put my finger on it. Not sure if it’s the death of my fil and the fallout from that or what. I just feel weird. Not symptomatic or anything ... I can’t even describe it.
I think I really need Spring to hurry up and get here. Things are always better when I’m not buried under 14 layers.

It’s possible it’s mood related......

But Seroquel has it's own thing with Geodon of long QT syndrome so you should get your heart checked ECG. Ask to look at the paper when it comes out and read the "QT: 440ms" is max for a male.

Mine was as high as 455ms on escitalopram 5mg.. had to go off of it.. My moms heart QT interval was like 500+ which means high chance of heart going "Bloop" and stopping..

Not to scare you but I hope you're not taking high doses of Benadryl cuz that is bad for the heart and brain. Alzheimers..

With all my little knowledge about the heart.. you see why I'm obsessed... but lately I haven't been checking my pulse and taking caffeine pills.

My therapist was like "Yes, it's true that you have a flat affect" and I was sad because another professional confirmed it... I was sad when a psychiatrist writes "Poverty of speech".

I did cry in front of my treatment team once.. not sure what it was about but I was having a lot of hypno hallucinations and felt so tired like I was in a dream... "Up the Concerta to 108mg when you get to your outpatient pdoc.. I give you 60mg Vyvanse for now" well.. I walked out of the hospital dancing and feeling happy on 30+mg Abilify then "No insight to risks and inappropriate behavior" I got mad at him for saying that!

There's things that a normal person should be paranoid about but for me it's like my brain is soaked in sweet antipsychotic.

I think I might ask to try an off label antidepressant. I'm sick of feeling sad all the time.. although maybe I can appreciate music better.. idk... an antidepressant that isn't an SSRI or SNRI something like tianeptine.. but that's a legal research chemical.. oh no now I'm thinking about RC's again...

I need better therapy
