ZYPREXA, or DAMNED IF YOU DO, AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T
Hi Elizabeth,Nancy and Katie, and Justin too, whose post I couldn't retrieve on my computer...
Nice to hear fom some people who like music. Perhaps Elizabeth, you could take a very low dose of an A.D., and then you could play and sing? I find that I can't play when I'm depressed, but I can play when I'm psychotic. Fortunately, I'm seldom depressed. Hallucinations don't have an adverse effect on playing, for me. I had a disconcerting relapse into psychosis last week, so I popped a few of my handy pills, and they seemed sufficient.It's nice to hear from people who aren't disapproving of medication 'non-compliance'. BTW, has anyone noticed an insidious but steady weight gain with their meds? Or, at the risk of being vulgar, a complete absence of physical desire? Just two more reasons why I don't feel like swallowing any more pills than absolutely neccessary. I gained fifteen whole pounds in just five months, and who wants to be ugly, linguistically dopey, and completely mediocre at their instrument? Sorry, don't mean to rant. On a more useful note, has anyone tried autogenics exercises? I have used them to drag myself out of impending psychoses several times, and it seems to help, especially when one feels one's body dissipating into a million little points to be strewn across the universe. If anyone wants to discus this, please post a thread, because I adore to discuss this sort of thing.****************************
