Most meds take a while to build up in your body, one med I'm on took 3 months for physical ailments, I was kept in hospital for three weeks for the mood meds to build up.ok so i have an antianxiety that seems to be doing.....something......idk i still feel suicidal and like its best. of course, this wasnt suppose to help that. so now what? or should i even bother? its only 1 medication so far and i already feel horrible......idk....maybe i should forget the whole thing
buspirone. im on day 5 if i remember correctly. its all one big day with just things going on to me so after awhile its difficult to keep track
this ones "worked" since i started taking it. im not 100% sure. it keeps the voices quiet but as an antianxiety im not sure, i havent been in a high anxiety situation yet
When you say voices do you mean in your head like schizophrenia?
yes but no. what ive read about schizo voices is....im not sure how to put it. ill just google it. "Many times the voices can start gradually and are often described as a vague or fleeting impression of hearing your name called or people talking about you. For example, "Someone just called my name" or "people were talking in the hallway," or "I thought I heard something but then I am not sure."" basically the person has zero understanding that its a hallucination. but this isnt the case for me. i know they are "me" but they arent. and they argue and never shut up. and when they arent arguing theyre being mean to me and reminding me why im a failure and should just shut up. its difficult to disagree with them when its backed up with evidence and logic.
well this med is suppose to be taken 2-3 times a day but because of my sensitivity i started off on a really low dose and only 1 a day in the morning. but i noticed that after ~9hrs it would wear off and all come back so i emailed my doctor and today i plan on taking it 2x a day. of course this is still going to leave me with blank spots where it isnt working. i plan on upping the dose to 5mg in a little bit depending on how this goes.
People living with other mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, also experience hearing voices.
the "horrible" feeling isnt a good description and actually explains horribly how i feel. i feel like im hiding myself.
Most people I have met in real life have schizophrenia related to smoking weed and they say it subsides when they stop. But others it was genetics where both brothers or brother and sister had it. If you smoke pot then that could be a trigger.
it agitates it but i wouldnt call it a trigger. im just really fucked up. im actually hopeful this medication will help me cut back.
i was using that for my back (never found it to help mentally) but the government sucks and took it off the shelves
You can buy it from abroad no? Some Redditors even make their own because cheaper to do so. It's an anti-inflammatory works for a lot of health conditions.
i already checked that out. buying else where and making my own. its expensive.
Does it maybe also feel like you're losing yourself because of the medication? Like, you are used to yourself being a certain way. Even though you feel fucked up. The medication helps in some way, but at the same time you don't know who you are anymore? Or how to feel about how you're feeling? I can sorta get how you feel like you're hiding yourself that way.
I'm sorry I was mislead into believing it's cheaper way cheaper to make your own from CBD isolate then buy the premade stuff. Believe me I have seen some very huge price discrimination in relation to this product. Even in my local area one would look for 30 and another 90.
its cool
i just assumed its cheaper where you are. how are you suppose to know what it would cost me.i know who i am. although my disorders shaped my personality/beliefs they arent them.
and i know how i feel.
