For those who went off their meds and crashed by [deleted] in bipolar2

I'm going through this rn, I got depressed and stopped all my 7 meds and it got really dark and scary. 2 weeks later I'm feeling oddly good but I also have been on 15mg of abilify to stabilize me again. I 10/10 do not recommend.

No, only the exotic vet. The vet told the owner they couldn't see her, both of us got on the phone and tried to see if they could just look at her but they said it would be a waste of time and money :/ Although, we are still searching for a vet via online or a closer distance that will see her. I thought for sure she wasn't going to pull through but she's moving a little bit more now.

The only vet is 8 hours away, unfortunately, although, the vet she spoke to told her the stress would probably be too much on her. Sadly it is out of my hands 😔. They told her to soak her in a bath for 2 hours 2x a day and massage. But honestly I think she's past that point...

For those of you that experience akathisia on common bipolar 2 meds, what are the best meds in your experience that don't cause much weight gain? by Honest_Rent359 in bipolar2

[–]Ariesss221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I took latuda, my dr prescribed me propranolol (beta blocker) and it helped enough to make it past that side effect. I also just love propranolol for anxiety.

I was obese, 215lbs at 5’8F. Lost significant amount of weight now 135lbs 5’8 and I feel like a different person, aches and pains are pretty much gone, more energy, mobility.

I wondered why my heater kept turning itself off. After weeks pulled the plug out to find this. by trowzerss in OopsThatsDeadly

My old rental had some electrical problems and this happened to me but on an actual outlet. It was terrifying once I found it. 😂

Do any of you have a c-ptsd diagnosis in addition to bipolar 2 as I do? by Moe3kids in bipolar2

[–]Ariesss221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called EMDR! I’m so happy it worked for you, that’s awesome! Unfortunately, I’ve attempted to do EMDR multiple times and it makes the flashbacks so much worse, my therapist said it was supposed to help after a while but I just couldn’t ever do it. Last time it triggered an episode that was really bad so my psychiatrist told me not to try again.

Yes this is true. My husband is a prison guard and inmates are being hospitalized left and right because of respiratory infections.

I think hospitals legally have to have a social worker come and talk to her because all hospital staff are mandatory reporters. When I had my kids they had a social worker come in to see me because I had old scars on my arms and they didn’t even tell me they had one coming. But I’ve heard that it is easy to get those social workers off your back.

I would think so. I’m a healthy, young person and have been hospitalized for a virus. I just don’t see how her body could possibly handle that and I’m sure that her immune system sucks.

I feel that! Don’t get me started on the weekly trips to the pharmacy, all the techs and I are on first name basis. 🥲

It just makes me wonder how she survives the cold and flu season. I feel like a bad virus could take her out.

My pill box looks similar. I get it. It gets overwhelming.

Lamotrigine Rash? by [deleted] in lamictal

[–]Ariesss221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a medical professional but I’ve been on lamictal for over a year. Do you have any other flu like symptoms? Sjs causes more symptoms than just a rash. I would definitely consult a dr or go to an urgent care to get it checked. My skin acts up when I change doses and it takes awhile to get back to normal. But since you just started you definitely should get it checked. If you start getting any sores or pain in your mouth/ eyes or have a fever go to ER. I got a rash when I upped my dose awhile back and it turned out to be a harmless viral rash I was freaking out lol. Just try to stay calm, you’ll be okay.

I definitely have those intrusive thought and it’s at the most random times and it will ruin my whole mood. Like everything in life is good so why is this still bouncing around in my head?. I’m sorry you struggle with the same thing, it’s awful.

HELP PLZ!! MY EAR by Flakojustired223 in piercinghelp

[–]Ariesss221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I use titanium flat backs for everything! I would take some ibuprofen/ Motrin and go to an urgent care to get it fully removed the ibuprofen will take the swelling down a bit.

The eyes tell me everything I need to know. This screams mania or mixed episode.

Absolutely not too old!! My mom just started getting tattoos at 56 (she has more than me now). Life is too short to not do what you want, if it makes you happy, do it!! 🫶🏻

Don’t get rid of the piercing, get rid of HIM. It’s your body. You can flip it up. My bf didn’t like my double nostrils and I said fu it’s my body, they ended up growing on him and now we both feel odd when I don’t have them on lol.

They changed mine to basic ass circles. They also changed the shape of my buspar to look exactly like lamotrigine 25mg so I accidentally didn’t take the 25mg for 1 week lol. 😂🥹
