What's up? Gee, I never heared of valium for suicidal tendencies--I guess it works for you. I use to take them just to feel normal(to bring a maniac down to earth). Lamactil is an antiseizure med also used as a mood stab. I don't know what the side effects are because I take zyprexa and oxazepam too. As I've stated before--I'm phasing out my meds. I am tired of being a zombie. I'd rather be manic. I don't want life to pass me by with my head in the clouds. Life is too precious and fleeting to waste. That may be a reason that I don't fully understand suicide. Why shorten something that is already a vapor (Bible def.). Oh well we'll see who benefits from drugs or the absence fo them thereof. Why is it that you and i seem to be the last ones on the board at night. We need a life i suppose. Bobby

I don't think valium is a "regular' thing for S.I> its just that its my anxiety/terror that drives me to to it, and the valium is light enough to calm the anxiety for now, but its really dicey, because most tranquilizers end up making me more depressed which makes me more anxious. Generally "uppers" calm me down, coffee makes me really sleepy, dexedrine just makes me feel normal. Thats why I'm sticking with the one psychopharmacologist who understands this, actually who knows it.
I've had other Pdocs, and G.Ps tell me that what I'm feeling is "impossible" I've even been accused of "powertripping" with psychiatric nurses and doctors.
Yup that would be me sobbing, tearing my hair out (literally, in anxiety) doing this in the closet of my ward room so I wouldn't disturb anyone, being discovered then being punished because I was "powertripping" huh? Oh just another psychward horror story most of us have one or two I'm sure.I have a bunch of questions I want to ask you about why you are phasing out your medication...
do you have somebody monitering you, or are you doing this on your own?
How sever was your Mania? (tell me to mind my own business if I'm being to forward)

Hey now Gabbilot! First let me say that you will never be too foward--if you can think of a question, I will answer it as best I can. I mean that's what this forum is for right? you can be yourself. Well as far as the meds go I stopped taking klonopin by myself--gradually. I would take 4 blue ones before bed. The lamactil I tapered off some by myself--but then was smart enough to tell my Dr. in case I overlooked some unseen danger. She was against this idea at first but when hard pressed she finally agreed.So I guess you could say that we reached a mutually beneficial agreement. I get off the meds and she gets me off of her! Does that answer some of your questions? My lord you take enough "uppers" to glow in the dark! to each his own. About my mania--I was pretty high strung(high E on a fiddle) for quite some time. I stayed up for days, kicked a couple of holes in the wall, and looked for violent confrontation from anyone who dared. My wife said that i was a wild man. I personally think that i was just real stressed out but hey, Who can be objective when looking inside. what about you?
