As I mentioned in my previous post, I take Abilify. Schizophrenics use this drug. I'm in the same boat as schizos. Am I surprised? Not really.
I've been on it for about a month now, but today was the last day. I had to call my doctor because I was super jittery (no coffee yet, either) and couldn't sit still. He told me to call right away if that happened. I haven't actually talked to him today, but we played phone tag and the last call I made his receptionist said he had her call in a new prescription for me. Obviously this is serious.
I'm still not feeling quite right at the moment, so forgive me if this post is nonsensical. At first, I noticed a huge improvement in that I was no longer depressed. But quickly, I became very irritable and grumpy. Yay for less sadness, boo for more grumps. I started feeling out of place with my friends and didn't want to be around them. While I feel full of energy, I'm too pissed off to do anything! I can't focus, either, even with my ADD medication. Even breathing feels annoying to me. And my poor kids, oh, how I can't handle their combination of energy and insanity while on this drug.
Hopefully whatever my new medication is will help me feel better. I'm nervous about not taking Abilify for a few days though, because I missed it once and it sent me into an abyss for 2 days. Scary.
So please pray for my sanity. And that the new meds will do the trick.
Thanks for visiting. Y'all don't come back now, ya' hear?
