NotWorkingNotWorkingNotWorking; risperdal

By Purple Flamingo Friday, March 12, 2010

I am so stiff and hurting right now.  I am so uncomfortable.  And because this typing not only hurts, but is making me irrate, I'll be quick....ish. 

 

Not Working.  Today was the test, I guess.  A little sleep, up to ship the kids off to school, lay down, hurt, toss turn, nap, wake up mad (no clue), stomping, bored and wandering looking for something to do (I've got a ton of cleaning jobs, but I've been too wound up and mad to focus on them), eat mad (which is not a smart thing to do, I'd like to throw up but I can't), blow off steam by chit chatting with the kids... and then getting annoyed that I have to repeat myself because I'm saying it too fast (red flag), and then cry about it all.  And then get up, sore stiff and still wound up and mad, and find out that I will be missing my meds this evening because I was stupid and forgot to grab a refill, and now I am just stiff and sore and sad and without any meds to blame it on today.  Yes- this is a high cycle.  Not a happy one.  I want a happy one.  I want to be happy... or hippo.  Damn the typing errorrrs.  It hurts to do this.  Doc appt next wk.  cant wait cant wait.  My head is killing me.  I'm ready to pass it on.  >:C

Risperdal and the Ever-Expanding Waistline.

Purple Flamingo, I understand about having negative hypomania. When I get to excited like when I am hypo I get negative. Luckily I haven't had any breakthrough mania or depression in quite some time. I do hope that your risperdal works for you. I take risperdal because 'every one is out to get me'. I take 4mg at bedtime. It really works for me because now I can leave the house and not carry a gun or knife because I feared for my life. I do hope you can get some sleep without pain or being mad. Please remember to get your medicine refilled AND picked up on time dear. What other medicines are you on? Just wellbutrin and risperdal? Wellbutrin was like a sugar pill for me. I am on lamictal for moods...plus four other meds for other problems like paranoia, stress and sleep. My best to you that your day is a good one... wordpainter
