Breaking Bipolar News...I had a doc appt at 10am yesterday. I sat down on a loveseat and was writing notes that I wanted to cover with him. Amazing what can change in six weeks.
I looked up and a lady with a bottle of water was walking over. I thought, I guess she needs help opening it. I opened it and gave it back to her. She said no it's for you, you don't look like you feel well. lol What do you mean? Oh, you're staring off in the distance. Oh, haha, I'm just making a few notes. By this time she's sitting next to me and there's is seating everywhere. I have to remember, yeah i'm 60 but i'm a hot 60. between naps of course.
Being bipolar I shouldn't say this but I was watching her very closely but she was fine. I've never had someone walk over and talk to me in a psychiatrist office.
Actually she was right I didn't feel well.
Her doc called her in then my doc did the same. Hey doc, still getting your haircut by blind Willie on the east side? Shutup Phil. At least i don't have a csny roadie haircut from 1968. I told him I can't justify seroquel anymore, it scares the sh*t out of me. He talked about switching to Latuda. When I got home I did a search and came up to a forum post. "Should I worry about the sudden death syndrome with latuda? Next, pull Lithium..that surprised me. Add a beta blocker. Drop the anticholonergic I take for back pain caused by Seroquel.
The anticholonergic..made my Lithium tremors go through the roof. I said when I'm on the computer I have my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on my right and it still takes a while to x out of a screen.
Oh, Latuda, $800 a month.
That is how psychiatry works. posted elsewhere

it is amazing who you meet in the clinics. i always think the people i meet in the clinics are some of the nicest, intuitive, nonjudgmental people i've met.
i don't know about the whole meds thing... what do you think??

Thanks :) What do you do for a living Bill?? Phil! I'm creative. You mean homeless? Uh-huh.
You have mental problems? Right now I do.
Why do you want to work at Apple? I love the logo. Me too!!
OK, we start you as head of distribution in Malaysia. Isn't that a side effect for Seroquel?
No, it's a place.
Question, what does distribution mean?
Well, you get box A to destination B, you fly 1000 boxes from F to J, then you...
Wait, why don't we piggyback our boxes on Coke trucks? They have the widest distribution in the word.
YES I love this guy. Jobs smiles in heaven.
Don't bet on it.I want all mfg of Apple products moved to the US so we quit killing young Chinese children.
Bill we don't kill all that many plus you know profit margins etc.
Explain that to God. I think we should hire Bill Gates.
Bill he's a philanthropist now.
Does he play with an orchestra?
Why don't we resume this at 9 am. The CEO will be here.
Oh yeah the new guy with no charisma? Anyway see you tomorrow.i can't stop sometimes.

This is a real doctors office Do y'all call them clinics? I never talk to people there unless their zipper is down. Now everyone is staring at their gd phone.
My doc rattled those changes off so fast. Little too much coffee doc? Been in the samples closet again?
It's just going to be trading side effects. Dystonia and diabetes makes anything look interesting. Medicare will flip out on the price.
I've got a new procedure for starting new meds. I take them while parked in the ER parking lot. If I get hives and my tongue triples in size, I just walk in. I mean how to dial 911 when your throat is swollen shut, you itch all over and the tongue thing? mm mmm mmmm mmm mmm...mvrfkrdoddamnit. myfroat, yelp.

yodamt hueey doddannit
I like instructions that say, if your tongue is swelling, you can't breathe please call your doctor. doyker..helup..froat, my froat can't breve. Jim, call 911. This neede jim gdanly psychiatrisst!!
