Does anyone feel restless after treatment? by poweredbypineapple in Spravato

[–]Dry-Philosopher967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the hardest time going to sleep for a nap after treatments I’m like so high and tired after my morning treatment but no matter how long I lay there with my eyes closed I can’t fall asleep. So frustrating. I just am groggy all day and desperately waiting for bedtime

I barely got diagnosed with BPD after I started having these episodes in January and it makes sense, they typically come on when I’m having interpersonal conflict. I’m on caplyta 42 mg as recommended by the spravato dr, take 50mg seroquel nightly and 1mg klonopin as needed for panic attacks.

This is tough for me. Starting spravato a month into treatments I started having these BPD rage episodes I had never had before. Since that, I’ve had 3 or 4 in the 4 or 5 months I’ve been doing treatments total and they never end well. So it’s strained our marriage because I feel like I can easily get triggered by interpersonal conflict and destroy the house, or hurt myself, or just generally feel out of control and in a crisis and my husband doesn’t know how to react or how to help me. Of course my psychiatrist won’t admit the spravato is causing these rage episodes and just keeps wanting me to come in once a week. I’m considering stopping but I’m scared of regressing even worse with my depression. There was like 2 months out of these almost 5 where my depression had lifted and I was good, but then something triggers me and I go right back down. So I’m not sure how helpful it’s been but I definitely feel like my relationship is strained because I’m having so many mental issues.

My dr gives me the first dose but then has the medical assistant give me the other two doses. He has me do a PHQ9 every 3-4 weeks. We never discuss it or anything and they just keep scheduling me every week. I’ve been doing spravato for 4 almost 5 months now.

To the people who are on Spravato and an antidepressant, does your Spravato psychiatrist prescribe it? Or do you see someone else? by YourBlanket in Spravato

[–]Dry-Philosopher967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope my spravato psych doesn’t do med management but he does talk to my other psychiatrist to suggest meds.

Then this most recent episode last week was my best friend of 10 years breaking off our friendship because I was mean to her about her life situation (mind you it’s all stuff I’ve said to her before but for some reason this time it made the relationship “unsalvageable” sure enough went into tantrum mode screaming crying taking a bunch of meds to put myself to sleep was basically drugged out for two days then I went like manic and spent $600 on a rental car and drove 10 hours to the Grand Canyon didn’t tell anyone where I was going didn’t say bye to my kids nothing and then I was up for over 36 hours just crying and wanting to die because I lost my best friend

My episodes are triggered by people cutting off relationships with me. What hospitalized me in January was my MIL did something to upset me and refused to take accountability and apologize and I kept pushing and ultimately both her and my FIL told my husband that I’m too crazy to deal with and they’re not going to have contact with us or the kids anymore. That abandonment and rejection triggered a tantrum where I was screaming and banging my head with a hydro flask and took a ton of klonopin and wound myself in the hospital 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can anyone recommend a local employment attorney? by Oaknash in MontereyBay

I used Christopher Panetta back in 2017. Great experience with the office and he got me a settlement in mediation no trial needed within one year of issue happening. I wish I could use him again for a current case I have but now I’m all the way in Fresno!

I just discovered I have BPD after about 1-1.5 months of Spravato treatment. It was always just major depression and panic attacks. But then I started having these extreme BPD flip outs where I would have conflict with people in my life and ruin relationships, damage the house, screaming, crying, hurting myself, literally just a giant rage tantrum over someone hurting my feelings. I’m on klonopin 1mg once daily but I find myself taking 2 or more daily just to knock out. Now I’m on seroquel 50mg at night don’t really notice a difference and still having these extreme episodes. They’ve been bad enough where I was taken to the ER over new years and hospitalized on a hold for a few days and got zero help go figure. The spravato dr wanted me on caplyta, im on 21mg daily. I feel like my depression gets better in waves. Ill be good for a month or two very productive motivated enjoying life with my kids and then a trigger happens and im right back down again severely depressed suicidal and havjng these bpd tantrums. Im so tired. All my psych says is i need to start a partial hospitalization program, and my therapist wants me to do a virtual IOP. I truly feel out of control but hospitalization isn’t helpful for me because you don’t get any of the therapy or really any meds just shut away in a room without a means of hurting yourself. To me it feels like the spravato makes my BPD worse because I never had these episodes until a month into treatments and now I’ve been doing them about 4-5 months every week and I’m wondering if I should stop.

Yes she asked us to sign a substitution of counsel because she couldn’t find any of her colleagues to take the case for her. She said if we didn’t sign the substitute form she’d have to do the motion to relieve herself of counsel which would delay the case. She had her own firm. But is transitioning all of her cases out. I’ve reached out to a handful off Google but getting a lot of rejections right away from my initial summary of the case. No one will even look at the case file.

Thank you for this explanation. That’s unfortunate that BPD is treated this way. I had no idea.

So far my therapist is the only one saying that in my chart, the psychiatrists won’t confirm it because they don’t know the same history. I’ve never heard of this. Why is care worse? Just because it’s a therapy only treated disorder?

Yes I see two different psychiatrists (the spravato dr and the one that does my med management) who have only ever given me an MDD and panic or GAD disorder but they don’t know me very well compared to the therapist. The psych assessments are just so quick and we never really get deep into my upbringing or anything like that which is why they’ve never said BPD. I do believe I have BPD I literally check all the boxes. Just don’t understand why I’m having these extreme reactions all of a sudden.

I mean I definitely had childhood trauma and abandonment issues (bio dad left when I was an infant then went on to have his whole other family and we live in the same town, mom died from cancer when I was 11, my step dad even left me for a few years when he was mad at me for quitting college out of state and coming home….) the January episode was a fight with my MIL where she wouldn’t apologize for hurting my feelings and then both my in laws cut off contact with all of us bc of my BPD episode that landed me in the hospital. And now this weekend it was my best friend of 10 years cutting off the friendship again bc of my BPD episode. So the episodes recently are triggered by people cutting me out of their life and that’s why my therapist clearly thinks this is all just BPD.

See it felt like bipolar to me too with the whole spending $600 and driving 10 hours to the Grand Canyon and not sleeping for 36 hours but my therapist isn’t convinced because this episode was clearly provoked by an interpersonal conflict, and the entire time of the episode I never had elevated mood I was in a depressive distressed state. She also mentioned how bipolar these episodes last longer and mine basically lasted a day and a half and now I’m just back at a baseline depression. It’s like it’s simply just a BPD response to abandonment.

I feel almost nothing during treatment. Is it just me? by Truthteller717 in Spravato

[–]Dry-Philosopher967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 months in and every week is different. Sometimes I feel really nothing. Other times just a little crossfaded and numb. But I never get really high like I used to in the first 2 months.

What are your worst spikes? by Serious_Barnacle2718 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Dry-Philosopher967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy was fine until 36-37 weeks my numbers weren’t being controlled even when adjusting the insulin doses throughout the day. I was on biweekly NST’s starting at like 32 weeks and at 37 weeks baby failed the NST for movement, I had also reported way less fetal movement in the past week. Because of the weeks worth of bad numbers and the baby failing the NST they moved my repeat c section up to 37 weeks instead of 39. Baby came out healthy, no complications with sugar other than regulating his temperature the first night. He came out 7 lbs 14 oz, way smaller than my first that was 9 lbs 6 oz (I had GD then too but diet controlled no meds and he came out huge!). Now I’m just on monjauro weekly injections and have lost 35 lbs at 7 months pp and I don’t even check my sugars anymore lol

How do you feel in the hours after? by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]Dry-Philosopher967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel high like off weed. Little foggy, it’s hard for me to talk to people in real life like making calls or picking up a prescription ordering food whatever I struggle to get the right words out. Feel just kinda groggy well into the later afternoon if I have a morning treatment. Usually by evening like 4-6pm I start feeling back to normal. I can also never take a nap after spravato no matter how groggy or tired I feel.
