seeing my heartsister in mid december

chucking everything into the "f"it bucket I'm fine...

still having these despite the recent increase of the seroquel. had two last sunday, havent had more than one in a 24 hr period since that awful episode in August. not sure what the target dose is supposed to be- dr won't tell me. makes me worried he's using "therapeutic privilege" to keep info...

my heart-sister gets SAD bad. using sun lamps and taking Vit D has been helpful. if you can set up a room or space in your home with sun lamps and a lounge chair and make it bright and sunny and tropical. drink lemonade with little umbrellas. might help :)

I'm still wavering on whether or not to stay on Seroquel. Ppl around say they've noticed some improvement including my T, says I was deer in headlights again this past Tuesday after being off two days, had noticed much calmer week prior (after about two months on and titrating up). Jury still...

Friend I trust who is an Rn (one who gave advice to push fluids and Benadryl every 4-6hrs, big improvement!!!) thinks that the jump to 200 was too fast. Doesn't understand why they went so slow with the 50 (six weeks) then a one week jump to 200. Suggests I restart the Seroquel today (skipped...

His nurse finally called today. He's out of office this week. Wants me in next Monday. Is leaning towards giving the Seroquel a pass, suggested that a recent surgery may have damaged nerves or something and it could be a come and go episode sort of thing so they may want to order an MRI ... Um...

they did a ct scan and said it was clear , did some neuro function test and said something about rating a +2, knees reacted to reflex test but not soles of feet or to pinprick. they also tested clotting factors- mine were in fast normal range

Home from ER Got worse after earlier post. Couldn't feel legs other than some random jolts and a sort of low electric current thing. Then arms felt funny. Then face...earlier kept feeling like something crawling on it. Later sort of novacaine numb. Was slurring words. Called 24 hr Ask A Nurse in...

stopping it right now. can't walk. over past few days have had weird sensation in legs after day dosage. took it about an hour ago and had to get up to use bathroom and its like my legs arent even there, cant feel them, moving in weird way. Im done with this .

I read it as an in the background plan, a failsafe tucked away in case everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Not something actively being considered or attempted, but just knowing you have a way out. I have three. One I actually purchased and have set aside what I need to do it. It's...

finally messaged my dr. took a while to compose. having trouble writing and typing. words get mixed up, misspelled. sent through online system bc I feel like I needed documentation ___________________________________________ have some questions/concerns you said "two or three steps up to...

We have talked about the xr, he didn't seem to think it would be more beneficial. Cost is also a factor. I'm self pay. Yesterday wasfirst day on 200,had me doing 100 for five days then up to this.I'm back to splitting headaches, nausea, weird handwriting, massive brain fog and sleepiness and...

Thank you BlackEmerald for the suggestions. I finally found a T to talk to, it's an hour's travel plus tolls she's not licensed yet, located through Open Path. Trauma and PTSD specialty, trained for EMDR if we decide eventually to try that. But it's a step forward. What were often told by law...

I'd be happy to consult with a p doc if we could find one. He's tried for months to get me a referral and they keep coming up empty. Everyone we've contacted is either not taking new patients or won't take self pay. The community services group has nothing available for three to four months...

We still haven't found me a p-doc. Local community services group has a three to four month wait just for an eval...and bc if their treatment of me with the involuntary hold, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. Neither of us has been successful finding anyone else, they're either but...

Thanks for App suggestion, will look into it. Dr is a GP,not p-doc. We haven't been able to find me one other than the one who saw me for a whopping combined total of 12 minutes during a short hospital stay. And that's why I may be hung up on the labels. Ended up in hospital when "someone"...

had appt today. he says the 50 mg a day was never meant to be the working dosage. that was just to ease me onto it (for 6 weeks?? that is NOT what his nurse told me, he said he's know by the 6 wk point if this was effective or not). he says we have "2 or 3" steps up on this to get to a...

I stayed on it. this week makes 6 weeks. and its still not helping. really bad anxiety today, ended up jumping off couch over something that spooked me earlier (my daughter went to shed for halloween decorations, ran back inside screaming and trying to shut the door, I thought someone was after...

thank you all for the input. I did decide to stay on the quetiapine until an appt which is set for this wednesday. missing just a few doses had me feeling like my head was exploding. so waiting it out til we decode o stop adjust or continue. stil dont feel like its helping tho most of the side...

this is why I love this group. options- like considering extended release. and a new point of view- like the cognitive dissonance of needing the be vigilant against a real threat vs. being told we have to control/minimize/stop the vigilant state Im in bc it's a bad symptom perhaps causing the...

since being diagnosed with ptsd over 2 years ago drs have tried buspar and zoloft. both did absolutely nothing to help any symptoms. my condition is due to a protracted campaign of stalking and harassment hat hasnt stopped yet. pcp recommended zyprexa or seroquel on recommendation from a...

I was given narcan when I passed out after a massive panic attack progressed to one of my blank out dissociative episodes and medics weren't convinced I hadn't self harmed (despite my husbands assurances I had not) it didnt do anything for the dissociative episode and I didnt regain...

unaware of anything at all. what I know I know from my husband relaying what happened if he was there. theres plenty of ones I dont know anything except where I 'woke up', or a vague idea of how long Ive been out based on last thing I recall and when I regain orientation. had one a week ago...

I've read about dissociative episodes- most of mine are a little more unusual; I completely black out. I have no recall of what I'm doing, where I am, who anyone else is. I don't recognize my own husband. I'm completely focused on getting somewhere safer than where I am. I've come out of this...
