Wow!Just woken up from strangest dream and needed to write somewhere...
1st saw psych and I was very psychotic... Then same day I started a group I knew nothing about & bumped into loads of people I knew from real life! Scary! More to it than that but woke me up with panic attack = mix of my...
Snap!! Hate time Off but hopeful I'll be back next Mon (currently half term) & just a blip... Taken down aripiprazole dose On my own - shhhh... But can't take the heat intolerance! & trying not to take all the diazepam prescribed - don't want to be dependent!
Thanks guys....
Made another emergency appointment to see GP today. Now lowered aripiprazole back down and 5diazepam in eve for sleep and 2in the morning to relax muscles and stop restlessness as codeine was doing nothing. Sigh... All feels pretty bad right now. :(
Drug change & anxiety Grrrr! Signed Off work so all not well. Lasted a few mins, so exhausting!!! This was a mild one, but one all the same... :'( had a bath which helped but so so low now...
Thanks guys. Just hard as New job and now feel like I've tainted it... Sigh... Hopefully they'll be supportive and not gossip etc like old work. Feels similar to how it all started 2 yrs ago so am worrying. Hey ho, need to listen to my body I guess...
So, finally my body has given in - had pretty bad panic attack yesterday that freaked me out and scared me big time. Made emergency appointment to see GP and been signed off for the week. Am gutted :( Really hard as still on the manic side so need to do stuff, but am also very shaky so achieving...
Diazepam has once again been my saviour - a week and a half down the line I'm getting about 5 hours sleep :) massive improvement on 3 or the 0 I was getting!!! Still very broken sleep, but getting there. Yesterday took half dose and still slept = Yey! Trying to ween self off now inc aripiprazole...
Still struggling - air con in my classroom is good, but having a support assistant who keeps putting the heating on and winding the kids up saying it's cold isn't... Sigh... Only two people at work know what's going on, and neither are in my class... Boo!
I would be interested in personality disorder one - no doesn't cause trauma but caused by trauma... Would be nice to talk to others with a diagnosis as feel very ashamed etc about it...
So, been on 5mg for 2 weeks, due to go up tonight... Lots of the side effects have settled (nor sure if some of then we're withdrawall too) but struggling with restlessness (not surprising considering I'm still manic!) & horrendous iintolerance to heat.
It's absolutely suffocating and constant...

@Jezanna - like the walking idea. At the mo it's fueling the mania tho... Only on aripiprazole at the mo - just come off quetiapine and mitazapine. Hopefully will add in mood stabilizer when next see psych -- she packaged aripiprazole ad fixing everything but I doubt it!
@anthony - it seriously...
