just got perscribed and ive only heard HORRIBLE first hand experiences! the net makes it seem kinda safe. i dont really feel like f*cking with my brain chemistry.
i am bipolar II and i have hypomanic episodes, im a recovering self injurer, ive also got depression, EXTREME anxiety (thats what he said it'd help), ADHD. im really fucked in the head, in my sig there's my site, at the bottom, there is a "more personal" link, click on that to see al the scripts i been through and shit. and i dont wanna take it cause of it's FUCKED UP side effects and i still wanna roll and trip and i cant be doin that on a anti psychotic.
Did you have side effects or are you just speaking from reading the info? Low doses, for instance 0.25mg or 0.5mg are generally well tolerated. Still wanna roll and trip, but not fuck with your brain chemistry???
hahahah^ i feel you man, idiot savaignt on my part. trippin and rollin fucks with brain chemistry hard. i know. but i was on 1.5mg daily and going up to my "real" dose and i was already having side effects, and i know the worst come from abrubt stopping of taking the medicine. so i cut back and let it go....
yeah dude. i was on that shit for anxiety. it does suck. i took it for well not long 'cause it started fuckin with my dreams and i dreamt crazy shit, like cartoon characters running around. it was kinda cool but disturbing for the most part.
ok im back on this everybody.... goddammit. its to "slow my thinking down" caus ive been taking up to 16mg of klonopin everyday (im perscribed 6mg x day but sometimes i freak out and eat a handful) the doc assured me my 1.5mg dose would not give me any sexual side effects or muscle spasms or catatonik states. he said i could stop taking it cold turkey if i noticed any undesireable effects. my question is... these A-typical antipsychotics work on dopamine receptors. so how would other drugs which effect the dopamine effect the drug? like heroin works on dopamine right? and phenethylamines work on dopamine too right? so i know i cant drink (righ?) but could i take jus 1 dose of 2CE if i stopped taking my risperdol for a couple days? what about H.
Risperdal decreases dopamine. Opiates work primarily on opiate receptors, not dopamine receptors. I am not familiar w/ the other drugs you mention. 1.5 mg is not a large dose, but it is not a small dose either. Is it in divided dose, or all at bedtime? Has the doctor tried smaller doses, like maybe 0.25mg in the AM, and 0.75mg at bedtime?
I used to trip when I was on an anti psychotic(seroquel)Just don't take your meds the day or day before you beam.
seraquil's a lil diff. i take .5mg in a.m. and 1mg at night and after a while i'll move to 1mg a.m. and 1mg p.m.
