My fiance can attest too. He said I was happier and did a lot more things on geodon. He didnt say I was depression free the whole time, just that I was able to navigate my mind to something more positive on geodon versus haldol. He said when I was haldol at the beginning of the year and when we met, I was always depressed and crying and he seen quite a change in me during taking the geodon. Still, not perfect, but better. So it makes me think.

Idk if anyone is like me or not, but I have really fast and sometimes serious reactions to medications. Which is why I've been on all of them except these really new ones. They all didnt work or caused me a physical issue. I've had lots of weight put on me from weight neutral medication. I get off them, I eat the same, and dont exercise and I lose a ton of weight. (From 2 previous experiences).

Not just that, but on a medical level, someone can sneeze and 2 days later I'm sick. And I'm told it takes a week for that to set in. But i get sick fast. I get sick from the flu vaccination. I cant eat a lot of different varieties of foods because most foods make me sick.

I was a preemie baby. 5 weeks early. My mom drank when she was pregnant with me. I was around smokers. I have kidney issues. I have issues with my bones, my menstrual cycle, my skin, and other things. I have problems with my teeth, my hair, and my breathing and gait and I have issues swallowing correctly because of the chiari malformation in my brain where part of my brain has grown into my spinal cord, from birth. Which is a genetic condition for me.

No. I dont goto the doctor. For anything really, medical, unless it's an emergency. Because I dont have a lot of money.

Newtus I’m not saying you aren’t more depressed on haldol than geodon, I’m saying that your illness isn’t being effectively treated by haldol in the sense that it’s neither a mood stabilizer nor an add on agent.

Ok. That too. I agree. But I needed to say my last post because I get a lot of questions about my health for different reasons and I wanted to put my physical health in one post too. And I just realized how much physical shyt is wrong with me and its depressing.

newtus · Dec 08, 2019 at 05:51 PM

I am going to take the geodon tonight tho.

newtus · Dec 08, 2019 at 05:59 PM

Less busy weeks for the rest of the month, overall, but still a lot to do this month.

newtus · Dec 08, 2019 at 07:59 PM

Made chicken stir fry and fried rice for dinner. Prepared it actually. The stir fry was frozen. But the rice was in a packet.

Blue_Bird · Dec 08, 2019 at 08:34 PM

Made one Christmas card, 2 more to go

Blue_Bird · Dec 08, 2019 at 08:43 PM

Tomorrow I've got to go to the laundromat. Then Tuesday grocery shopping and over to my friends house. Hoping to hear something from my case manager about the apartment complex. Going to be spending more time at the library reading and whatnot, to get out of the house. Its a relaxing place

newtus · Dec 08, 2019 at 09:00 PM

...I guess we are going on that vacation after all...fiance wants to go so...

Angelique67 · Dec 08, 2019 at 10:56 PM

I couldn't reach my mother today. She actually answered one of the first times but I didn't realize it until I hung up. I didn't hear her. I'm worried. I wish she could use her cell phone there but I guess she feels safer with the phone at home. I wish she could text.

I guess I could drink tap water tonight, it's cold enough out.

Desoxyn · Dec 09, 2019 at 08:08 AM

Woke up at 5am for my moms radiation class. I had a really good sleep. I dreamt that I was anxious and took a klonopin. It said 2mg on one side and 3mg on the other. I woke up feeling like I was on benzos, literally. It was wonderful..

Blue_Bird · Dec 09, 2019 at 10:52 AM

I want some chocolate covered coffee beans

SlumberKitty · Dec 09, 2019 at 12:58 PM

I'm so anxious today.

SlumberKitty · Dec 09, 2019 at 12:58 PM

I see Pastor T later, maybe that's why. Or maybe I am just feeling vulnerable. Or both.

Feel empowered!

Have a good talk with him, confidently.. Try your best.. What you've been feeling for a long time doesn't dictate what you should feel now.. I went months feeling good then yesterday almost died of bad mood....

SlumberKitty · Dec 09, 2019 at 01:04 PM

HUGS @Desoxyn, thanks for the encouragement!

Blue_Bird · Dec 09, 2019 at 01:29 PM

I'm so tired. And can't stop thinking about food. It's 1:30pm and so far today I've had a bowl of oatmeal and a burrito but I'm still hungry

I feel like it makes my depression worse, but doesnt cause it.

I still has depression on geodon but i was able to not stay in the mindset for more than 20 or 30 min. Ever since I've been on haldol these two weeks I've been nothing but depressed and tired. Even so close as to having to goto the hospital on monday for being very depressed.

Haldol oddly messed with me, too. It was weird, I was so tired on it. I’m usually a very energetic person, I’m very active and it’s uncharacteristic of me to be tired all the time but Haldol did it. Hated every second of it.

(Geodon wasn’t much better for me but I was less tired. Geodon gave me akathisia which also sucked ... lol I have the worst luck with meds.)

This was me on Zyprexa. I swear I just had to look at food and I’d be starving all over again. Drove me up a ****ing wall ...
