It's cold turkey. The doctor said, "Zyprexa isn't working for you anymore. I'm going to put you on Seroquel." ignoring that I'd had a bad reaction to Seroquel in the past and that I'd been on Zyprexa for five years. My body literally doesn't know how to relax without it in my system. I'm now...
Tomorrow, after I take my son to school, I'm going to my therapist's office. I'll sit in her office all day...well, until my appointment with the doc, and then I'll go back to my therapist's office.
I'm just wondering, because if they don't put me back on my zyprexa and I have to keep going through withdrawal, it's going to get bad. I'm already throwing up and wetting myself whilst I believe I am actually being abused again, only for it to end, me to clean up the mess, and it to start...
I was approved the first time, when I was 16, but at that time I was in the hospital and my parents did it all. I haven't been in the hospital in 5 years, and don't want to go at all because my son is old enough that it would affect him. I have had to drop out of school a few times and have...
I haven't the slightest idea what the name is for the feeling I'm having right now. I'm exhausted after only sleeping 1 night this week without flashbacks. Overwhelm? Is that the word for it?
I'm looking for friends in the Denverish area. I have PTSD and an 8 year old child. I'm just looking for someone who understands what I'm going through.
I have ADHD and PTSD. Adderall that I take for it helps with my PTSD symptoms during the day, but if I take it later in the day I notice an increase in the intensity of my flashbacks (complete re-experiencing).
I had four jobs this year...all lost due to PTSD...we are ridiculously poor and being supported by my abuser. I have filed for disability. My child has autism, and I'm a single parent. He is the light of my life. Without him, I would be lost. Challenges? YES...here comes next year. At...
I know this has been brought up in the past, but I can't find anything recent about it. I recently applied for SSD and SSI and was wondering if there was anyone out there who is currently receiving benefits because of PTSD...I was on disability when I was a teenager but that was 16 years ago...
I have the re-experiencing flashbacks, and during the abuse I self injured to distract myself from what was really going on, just scratching my side or face, but still...self injuring.
Ah, the ever ebbing and flowing of flashbacks....I'm currently in a flowing stage, as I stated above, but there are times when they are not as present. Just. Not. Now.
I do. I'm currently going through night number 5 of no sleep and flashbacks. I had flashbacks last night, of and on, all night and then today, and I've been dissociating. I'd like to sleep, heck, I'd like to sleep through life and possibly skip all of this PTSD crap. My body is exhausted, my...
