Hey there!
Well I finally had my Risperdal Consta shot today and we'll have to give it a few days at least, to see if it betters my negative symptoms. I had significant anxiety going to the clinic, as I often do when I don't sleep and even when I don't sleep!
I'm quite sure that my negative symptoms are a result of the economy or even the fact that I'm not working. I believe it's all due to some kind of chemical imbalance. I am considering Wellbutrin again and I was on it before, not too too long ago.
Alot of people recommend the new drug Solian or Amisulpride, but that isn't available in the U.S. as of yet I believe, at least not covered by insurance.
Basically this was the first independance day that I slept through and even though I was awake for a while and had the chance to go out on our lobster boat I simply was too depleted of energy and almost felt physically ill.
The past two days have been somewhat bareable as I at least have done lots of reading and writing on the net.
Well until there are better drugs I'm stuck with what they have! A few people told me that having a positive attitude can often be the best drug and through hell I'm trying to maintain mine!
