Thanks for your input, it's great to have found this site with all of you to talk to. who know what i'm going through. I've talked to a select few who actually Know what i'm talking about. I was on Zyprexa, that's what they first put me on(after a short period of Respiradol, not even sure how to spell that one.) But the zyprexa caused weight gain and slowed me down so they put me on Lithium. I've never heard of Lamictal. Will Marijuana mess me up even more, or help me?? Now that i have my life back i enjoy it and it doesn't magnify my problems. I've stopped smoking for now, because everone says how dangerous it could be. I stopped taking my medication for about twoand1/2 weeks during my "suicidal" state, and nothing happened. What does that mean?
It's so ironic/tragic that VanGogh's and Dali's work were best when they were so "strung out". I've read many books 'bout Vincent, and remember reading about how he felt as though no one was "there" for him especially his loved ones. No, i have no intents on taking my life or cutting off any body parts, but if my loved ones are "there" for me any more than they are already I think i might have to leave and be a Hermit for a while. Is this an ungrateful little bitch thing to say?? it's just that they all Think they know what's wrong/best for me when not one of them will listen to ME. My father, whom I was extremely close to, died three years ago and I'm stuck with my mother who isn't much older than me. Age and maturity wise. What is the most potent antipsychotic drug? Why are doctors and nurses so sterile? ~emma~
