Havent posted on here in a while .. I started back taking my medication once i figured out that it was the Vicodin i was taking for knee pain was what was causing the negative reactions.. I can still take the Tramadol since that doesn't have adverse effects but i haven't needed it in a while which is very good .. The anxiety meds have been working overtime and I'm thankful for that .. The antidepressants are sort of working too .. I say sort of because i don't feel "depressed" but i still have certain habits that i cant change like the wanting to be alone or in bed all day in the dark .. Not because I'm sad but because the medication still makes me really sleepy .. Im doing better at work I've been here a month and a half w no issues so thats a big improvement only issue i have is not being able to focus so I'm going to see what can be done about that .. The schizophrenia meds may need to be upped .. Im not sure if its because i missed a few doses or if i need a stronger dose because i don't see the little boy at my grandmas house anymore but i did see a man a few weeks ago who "wasn't there" .. I slept over a friends house after a party because i drank too much to drive home .. Woke up and had to use the bathroom and when i got out i thought my friend was standing in the hallway but for some reason i couldn't walk around him .. Asked what was up and he answered from his room; not in front of me where i was seeing him .. Rubbed my eyes and the person was gone. Thats been creeping me out for a while because I've only seen the little boy before never an adult and something about him was very dark and made me uneasy .. The little boy never really bothered me i would just see him running through the house like he's running to or away from something or someone but he's always in a hurry .. I haven't seen the man since that day but I'm starting to wonder if thats who the little boy is always running from .. Also if thats the case why did the man block my path when I've never actually interacted w the little boy? Only Taylor has gotten him to interact w her. She's sat and played w him many times according her .. She could just be making it up but its a little too coincidental that she's making up the same little boy I'm seeing and that my mom and gramma have seen as well ..

Ok so more things I've learned about this medication so far. Idk if it's just me or what but my alcohol tolerance is higher than it used to be .. For example, yesterday i went out w friends. Before i left home i had the equivalent of 4 vodka cranberries. When we got to our destination i also had rum and coke and Hennessy. Came home and had two more vodka cranberries. Thats 7 drinks total and i didn't feel any of them. Like not even a little .. I thought i'd at least be tipsy which made me nervous because i was the DD but i was fine the entire time as if i didn't drink anything at all which is strange because usually by drink 3 i would be ready for a nap but i wasn't tired until i took the mirtazapine and risperidone which make me sleep anyway. Woke up w no hangover even tho i hadn't eaten much and now at 10:45 pm I'm still fine not even a headache .. I still have the moments of extreme energy bursts even when i take the medication and I'm still tired a lot but i haven't had anxiety attacks or bouts of depression since i started to feel better so thats good. I start therapy on Tuesday so that should be interesting.

So this is what ive learned so far about this medication. The anti depressants do work which is great. The anti anxiety meds do work which is great as well. The meds for OCD and schizophrenia dont work too well lol. If i miss a dose i go into a sort of "hyperactive" mode where im a bit reckless and non filtered as well as i have strange dreams and see things like bugs and passing people that aren't there. I also have really strong deja vu that feels scarily real to where i cant tell if its a dream or something that actually happened or is happening because it feels so much like reality. The only thing thats different are really small things that wouldnt normally be noticeable like my grandmother walking and talking; both of which she hasnt been able to do since october of lst year. I think when it happens the anti anxiety meds kinda kick into overdrive because i dont get panicky about it or anything i just feel really creeped out and cant really do anything about it. For the most part i feel like the medication is helping a lot i just I guess have to get used to the deja vu, dreams, and hyperactive fits. I also have to stick to my schedule and not miss doses. It helps alot that the pills are small, virtually tasteless, and easy to swallow. It doesn't help that since taking them my tastebuds feel kinda worn out and are really sensitive as well as the constant dry mouth and weird taste left in the morning after taking the night time meds.

So today was actually a decent day .. Got outta bed and did laundry and baked .. Didn't feel tired all day like usual which is a good thing i suppose .. More energy today and i actually wanted to be around people for a change .. Might do so this weekend if i find a ride .. A lot of nervous energy and idk what to do with it so i feel kinda jittery/skittish .. No real appetite but hopefully it comes back soon ..

Day 8 .. Not feeling too bad today .. Still getting used to the constant sleepiness .. My appetite is back and my stomach isn't turning anymore .. Gotta try to incorporate me leaving the house to see if being around people helps my mood but i have to be careful because Miami is hot and one of these meds advises against being in the sun for fear of heat stroke .. I've REALLY been sorta craving hard liquor .. Not supposed to drink on these meds but i also been restless since i stopped drinking two weeks ago .. Might quench that craving this weekend idk yet .. Gonna go sleep off these meds and try to find something for dinner later
