I had two or three of them, but the list was great. Sadly, I understand the meds thing too well. I came down with pneumonia and couldn't keep anything down for a few days - suddenly found myself spiraling out of control and couldn't figure out why, oh, yea... The MEDS... <BR/>I hope the meds kick in quickly and you are safely back! ((((Bradley)))) (hugs).<BR/>WendyWendyhttp://caleb-joseph-mcintosh.memory-of.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210944235580633499.post-74821971434913304582008-10-28T00:12:00.000-07:002008-10-28T00:12:00.000-07:00Dear Bradley,<BR/>So sorry to hear about the medication. I used to have stages where I ran out and it was a terrible feeling. And then it always took awhile to get back on track.<BR/><BR/>Hold on...this too will pass. And maybe you can stop weighing yourself for a few days until the medication kicks in. It might relieve some of the stress. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>SusanWellness Writerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210944235580633499.post-75312817123096348072008-10-27T23:41:00.000-07:002008-10-27T23:41:00.000-07:00"I have dual citizenship these days.

I have the flu myself and forgot to take my meds for, um, days.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to report that it actually occurred to me that the reason I felt so crappy was not just my cold, but missed meds. That's a big step for me.<BR/><BR/>I also ignored my instinct to carry on doing errands, and returned home to take the doses, rather than wait. It's also a humbling reminder that I am ill and I need my meds.<BR/><BR/>There are many sites out there that write about life without psych meds and I doff my hat. I just know that to keep my hallucinations, depression, anxiety and SI to a minimum, I need meds, good sleep, and sobriety.<BR/><BR/>Hope this finds you a lot better than before.Dano MacNamarrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02718969376533836939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210944235580633499.post-72619390894135520372008-10-27T14:59:00.000-07:002008-10-27T14:59:00.000-07:00Bradley, that feeling sure does suck. It's great you can keep from just hiding in the bed all day, though. I hope the meds kick back in quickly for you.*sending hugs*Immihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00589851049724692333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210944235580633499.post-4681460498602215562008-10-27T14:03:00.000-07:002008-10-27T14:03:00.000-07:00Oh, Bradley do I feel for you!! From what you describe, I know too many of those days and they are so tough. For me, I would hope that I could just sleep to ride it out because all I could do was ride it out and hang on. Hang in there just keep remembering that your medications just need to get up to blood levels, but that you are still okay even though you don't feel like it. I've had that bug crawling feeling too...it really bugs me. LOL!! Stoopid joke!! <BR/><BR/>Take care and hang on tight,<BR/><BR/>CCCluelesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133271403456164632noreply@blogger.com
