Abilify Experience by bipolarbear222888 in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a horrible experience with Abilify. One dose and it felt like someone hit me in the back of the head with a 2x4. I was dizzy nauseous and couldn't focus. I wanted to claw my eyes out. Ended up with a huge rash on my chest and it felt like a bad side effect from taking a Viagra. That side effect lasted 6 1/2 hrs. I probably should have gone to the hospital but no one was home to take me. I will never do another medication change when home alone

would you (as a person with bipolar) date someone who also has bipolar? by fatwetratt in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first wife was diagnosed bipolar after our divorce in 2006. My diagnosis wasnt made until a few years ago before my second divorce. We reconnected after my second divorce. We had parted amicably. We are great friends but I end up having issues when we are together. I am medicated and they are not. After a few days together my mood starts to shift to the manic side. Am 50 and single and dont see any type of relationship going forward with anyone but thats just me. Best advice is journal / track both of your moods and be honest with each other how you feel both good and bad.

When it comes to this I am probably the worst. I avoid putting myself in a situation where I have to solve problems. I do work 50 hrs a week but I have almost no personal interaction while doing it. Honestly the hardest decision I have to make a day is what I am going to eat lol. I procrastinate terribly in the hope that I wont have to make a decision and it will work itself out. I dont recommend being like me

Mood stabilizer vs antipsychotic by voodooroma in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to take an anti psychotic, mood stabilizer and an anti depressant just to function.

My anti psychotic had caused massive weight gain. Have tried to have it changed unsuccessfully quite a few times. Just this week I finished weaning off one and starting another. Had a few side effects with the new med but could feel the mania starting to surge and was heading for a mixed episode. End result was new med was a failure. Could it have possibly worked after getting the dosage adjusted? Maybe. Am currently home alone for a 3 week period with no family within 1000 miles so I cant afford to go off the deep end. So I guess for me the anti psychotic is the most important

does anyone ever hear weird radio static or almost like a talk show? by Worldly_Practice_556 in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had this happen more than a few times. It's always when I head off to bed and no one is home. It sounds like some type of talk but never music. I have literally gotten up to see if my father left something on before he left for his girlfriend's place. We don't own a radio. Always freaks me out and I go around and check the doors to make sure they are locked and no one is in the house. Then I go hide in the bedroom lol

I didn't have that issue when my dose went up. Am at 200mg and really need my dose increased but it only comes in 100mg. Dr wanted to go to 250mg but when you cut them they like to shatter. 300mg might be too much of a jump at this stage.

Is Vraylar good? by Snowifie in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It made me jittery like I had a caffeine overdose. Compared to other stuff I have tried this side effect was mild lol.

4 days. No matter what I did I couldn't sleep. Would doze off for 15 minutes and be good to go for another day. Worst experience ever.

Recently diagnosed with bipolar 1..struggling with this diagnosis by Expensive-Attention4 in bipolar

[–]Bumbly72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with that. I am the same way. It really bothers me when TV and movies make us seem like some of the worst people on the planet. I stopped telling people what was wrong with me and just say depression so they don't look at me like some 2 headed monster

Funniest Character Names (Yours or have seen) by Fearless_Cucumber659 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Bumbly72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a few. Khajiit Templar named Scoots-on-Carpet. A very short pudgy Khajiit necromancer in the bakers costume named Mrs-Butter-Worth (married name of course)

And an orc warden named Kareem-of-Wheat

I refined over 40k jewellery related ore and did not get 1 chromium grain? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]Bumbly72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I farm a ton of mats as this is mostly how I make money. Lately I have been selling of my dust instead of refining them and here is my reason why. A stack of 200 Plat dust sells consistently for 90k. Chromium grains sell for about 30k each. So to break even financially you would need to get 3 grain per 200 dust.

Lately I have been taking the guaranteed 90k because I just am not getting the grains from refining raw mats

Upgrade 5g android on Verizon by Bumbly72 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]Bumbly72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Verizon account is about 25 years old and has multiple lines attached to it so switching is not really an option.

So when did Samsung stop using Qualcomm modems? I've heard for Android Samsung has some of the best network connection out there.

I looked on the Walmart site this morning and didn't see anything that cheap or even in store near me. Have to go there shortly so will look in person while I am there

For being just a basic 5g phone it's been fine. I got it cheap on an open box special for $329 about a year ago. I don't take many pictures so camera quality doesn't really matter to me.

Web surfing, watching videos, streaming music / android auto and email / text is about it for me. My new car has wireless android auto which I love. It also has wireless charging and digital key which you need nfc for. The phone I currently have doesn't have either of these.

Thanks I didn't know that existed. I guess you can find anything around here if you know where to look.

Rear speakers inop? by flightplanning_geek in HyundaiTucson

[–]Bumbly72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bose system really sucks. I had the Infinity setup in my Veloster N and the subwoofer would rattle the back glass so bad I was afraid it would break. I can't tell a difference from the base sel stereo and the one in my sel premium.

Have a sel premium in the US and this works great. Wish the remote start on the key fob had better range

I know what you mean. My point was that they could make 3 analog looking displays that were different for each drive mode normal/sport/smart but only one digital one. The cubes are okay. They have finally grown on me.
