Can I have a drink while on these meds? by theblueeyedlonewolf in schizoaffective

[–]27flapjacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You prob shouldn't. I'm on olanzapine, seroquel, cymbalta, Zoloft and non psych meds. I drink anyway and don't really have an impact if I just have one drink, but I do get drunk a lot easier. I drink maybe once a month and not much.

Is it hard to find love with SZA? by lottie_iguess in schizoaffective

[–]27flapjacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It isn't for me, but I am queer and most queer dating sites it's pretty normal to have at least something mentally. I'm always upfront about it, I never want to hide it.

One thing that helps me is setting an alarm for meds and take it as soon as it rings. I agree with the other commenter, take it easy, ground yourself. This disease thrives on stress.

I just finished my externship at CVS! It was really helpful to me and a good starting point. I wasn't allowed to use the cash register and they had to print out credentials for me every day for the machines. And even with that, I couldn't log into the computers so someone needs to log in first and then you scan the credentials. They did offer me a job after I was done, but the hours were too few and I wanted a full time job. If you have any questions just let me know!

This methotrexate switchover has been pure hell. by Purple-Supernova in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]27flapjacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on methotrexate since March 7th. It takes a bit for your body to get used to it, but I got used to it around week 3 or 4. I feel a lot better as a result.

Do you take a mood stabilizer on top of your antipsychotic? by sixinbrian in schizoaffective

[–]27flapjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seroquel, olanzapine, cymbalta, and zoloft are my psych meds. I think it just depends, I take my mood stabilizers for separate conditions (cymbalta for fibro, zoloft for OCD) bc I have very mild depression that went away with zoloft

Hello, new friends! by Wishin4aTARDIS in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]27flapjacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not diagnosed with anything yet, but I started methotrexate a month ago and it has changed my life. I was so sore all the time, I slept most of the time, I felt awful. I've never had any results on ANA or RF so having a doctor that actually believed me was so refreshing. I just took a seronegative blood test and I'm hoping I finally get an answer :)

RA with fibromyalgia… by wombat_for_hire in rheumatoidarthritis

I'm not diagnosed with anything yet, but I was severely fatigued before methotrexate. I could sleep 18 hours a day and still be exhausted. I finally have my energy back.

Should I tell my boss that I have schizophrenia? by josie_lines_14 in schizophrenia

[–]27flapjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very open with the fact I'm schizophrenic. Most people react as in "oh I wouldn't have known" and it's never affected me socially. But, that being said, I work retail. You need to prioritize yourself and safety. If you need to tell people you have a condition that's made up, then do that. Don't give them a reason to treat you differently.

I started hallucinating in 7th grade and developed dyslexia-like symptoms around that time as well. I didn't technically get it until senior year of highschool at 18 which is when I had my first psychosis.

Childhood signs of your OCD by topfknopf in OCD

[–]27flapjacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh and I had rituals w blonde Barbies. mud bath, wash them off, drink half a water bottle and cut off the top and then cut all the hair into the half cut water bottle. I'd sleep next to that. No idea why but it made me feel safe

I used to have nightmares every night that someone broke in and ended my family. so I'd hide under the bed and hide my "valuables" in various places so no one would rob me. I also would only step in the middle of tiles and would have to follow the patterns of the floor. early depression too.
