Hi Whiskeredfish, that medication is the big guns. I’m sorry you couldn’t tolerate it well, but I’m glad you didn’t die. Are you going to try one of the other atypical anti-psychotics out there? Or maybe one of the older ones, although they carry some pretty significant side effects. Its a real balancing act.
I’m sorry God has handed you this challenge. I live in the south and some of the most critical people I run into are Christians who think their brand is the only brand. Goes against everything I believe in. It also takes everything in my humanity not to just punch them in the nose.
Hey Hazy, and thanks. I read that Geodon was some pretty serious stuff, but I’ve taken other so named “serious stuff” without suffering so much as slight nausea, so I thought nothing of it at first. Every med has some insane side-effect listed as a possibility, I just never thought it would happen to me, I guess. But yup. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, is what I was experiencing. I would never wish it on anyone. As for where I’m going from here, I have no clue, but my guess is that the doc will switch me to Abilify maybe?
Thanks man. I’m sorry you gotta experience that. They give the rest of us a bad name. Where I’m from, Baptist is a big denomination, though I’m more Episcopal, and we are the minority here. The other half of my family is northern, all “nones.” Which isn’t anything bad, in theory. Most of my friends are “nones”. But the ones in my family are very cruel to me.
” You’re probably thinking “well then maybe the problem is you. So many people can’t all be wrong, right?” ” <- nope, i'm thinking people is freaking stupid, because your faith is YOUR faith, and it's okay to have different points of view. Agnostic here btw, but i respect people's beliefs if they don't shove their's down my throat. In that sense… well, at times it's better to stay silent, but if people do push you over and over again… no one can blame you for wanting to let out that repressed anger.
Like HDS says there's plenty, and i do mean PLENTY of anti psychotics, so maybe not everything is lost. It does take a huge amount of time to get the right meds and the right dose (everyone reacts different to them), so i do encourage you to keep on trying with your doc.
I’m relieved that you understand. Because my situation sounds suspicious.
Thanks for the confidence. Although, even with that in mind, I am still scared to keep trying new one. I never, EVER want anything even remotely like NMS again.
Hello. I am glad that you survived that ordeal and know what it was. I don’t think I can add anything to the comments above. I am just happy that you survived.
Processing your request, Please wait....

I wish I knew how to make links. I just realized that my intended link isn’t a link.

I will be thinking about you tonight.

That means very much to me, I appreciate it.
