I am right there with you sister. I am dyslexic myself. I personally did not learn to read until I was in the fourth grade. I was a product of the system. Hell, if I was raised today they would put me on Ritalin or something. The public schools just pushed me up to the next grade and caused me to fall further and further behind. When I learned that I was dyslexic I went to a special school just for people with learning disabilities. It was amazing. During my 7th and 8th grades I did eight years of school in those two years. I was reading Dick and Jane books and learning how to cope with my disability. When I finally learned that I was not stupid and that I just had a problem, wow what a weight that was lifted from my sholders. It sounds like you are doing well and I am glad to hear it. I don't think that smoking a little weed will hurt you but being an adult I suggest you tell your doctor how you want to be treated. I really prefer doctors that are willing to work with you and not just tell you what to do. Keep in mind that both of those medications were not ment to be used for long periods of time. At least they were not originally set up that way. Again, not a doctor. I don't say that medications are not important and that they don't help because they do. I just don't feel that everyone should have to take them all of the time. Fix the problem and move on. My physciatrist put me on meds as well but took me off them when I was better. Do what you think is best for you but keep a bookmark on yourself. If you start smoking and it causes you to be depressed again or affects you then you should stop. Keep some kind of mental or real notebook on how you feel each day and if there is any difference on days you smoke or after you smoke. Then you should not smoke but if you have more problems then stop. The only real advice I can give you.
Thank you so much for replying means a lot. I should right in a journal like the one on the hippy site. Like when I smoke right down how my mood has been. I like how I have been getting treated at north point. They really have helped me a lot. Before I came there I was a mess always sick and sad and suicidal. I am doing good now. I just don’t want to mess that I want to stay on track. Yeah it really sucks being slow then others . Good thing my mother helps me out
Hey lady, I'm assuming the zyprexa for bi-polarity? The only concern about smoking weed with mood altering meds in there is conflicting evidence that the marijuana may effect the way you metabolize your medication, which could lead the levels that are absorbed into your system being too toxic, or not enough. I'm not sure how accurate this research is, but just be safe and leave plenty of time between when you smoke and when you take your meds. And just take it slow, watch how you react to the marijuana. If it's unpleasurable/ you feel weird, DO NOT discontinue the zyprexa, discontinue smoking marijuana and consult your doctor. Best of luck!
They zyprexa helps me so I am not cleaning my room at 3:00 in the morning or talking allot and it helps with impulse behavior. And controlling my nightmares and helps me sleep I don’t plan on getting blown out as soon as I take my meds. I want to leave plenty of room between my meds
Have you been diagnosed with bi-polarity? Because the midnight cleaning and energy surges at night and talking fast/alot are symptomatic of mania. I'm glad youve found meds that are working for you!
I think I been diagnosed with b-polar. Once my depression goes away the cleaning and talking comes in
