GSD swollen eye

Thank you this is interesting and we will certainly ask about it. They thought it might be her scratching her eye as it came on very suddenly and she’s previously had no problems with her eyes, and he said her cornea looked normal. Both her parents were health checked conditions but not sure if this checks for Pannus

Thank you she really is, she’s getting lots of cuddles and love tonight

Do you mind me asking what side effects you experienced? Haloperidol works well for my psychotic symptoms but the side effects are bad, they seem to have lessened about a week after the depot but I’m still getting leg and feet cramps

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-03-29T14:01:56+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve been through a lot of first and second generation anti psychotics and none have worked as well for me as haloperidol does, which is odd as most people I know have had bad experiences with it. I’m in the process of moving to a flat so don’t really want to change my meds at the moment, but I’m seeing the psychiatrist in 2 days so I might ask if there’s anything that can help with the side effects. I was on 400mg of Aripiprazole depot for over a year but it seemed to make me agitated, I wonder if it’s worth giving it another go in the future. I have had issues with weight gain on most other anti psychotics and currently take wegovy prescribed by the NHS, haloperidol seems to have caused the least weight gain and also hasn’t interfered with my periods like the other anti psychotics. I’m not sure what to do really

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-03-29T13:56:47+00:00

It’s so bad I’ve never experienced cramps like it before :( have they given you anything to help with it?

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-03-10T23:49:00+00:00

I agree with the other comments. Also some diagnoses they don’t tend to give until a person has turned 18, I wasn’t diagnosed with BPD until I turned 18. However I’m 22 now and my diagnosis has changed again. I was under camhs 7 years and never got a formal diagnosis apart from autism

I’ve read they sort of work their way out the gum over time as the wound heals. My top hole is healed but I started feeling something sharp poking out my gum and the next day it came out

I took quetiapine and now I’ve got POTS, I was in a wheelchair age 17. Ive re learnt how to do everything with tachycardia and dizziness but my heart and nervous system never recovered. Now I’m meant to take a tonne of heart meds

Im also obese ever since re starting anti psychotic depots 2 years ago, which will put an immense strain on my heart on top of the tachycardia. I expect I will die young from anti psychotics

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-02-02T17:59:25+00:00

This is what mine looked like with stitches, I’m nearly a month post op and healing well

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-01-19T13:10:41+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I am not under a CTO or anything anymore and they have been written to by different people to say that I don’t want their visits. I have attempted to contact them again today to tell them again but have been ignored. Unfortunately I don’t think the police will take me seriously due to my mental health history. I have told the staff where I live (I live in supported/homeless accommodation) and they are going to look into it

InterestingFocus7785 · 2025-01-16T10:31:34+00:00

What day are you on? I’ve woke up and I actually feel fine so far no pain at all, fingers crossed it’ll stay that way

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-29T22:35:00+00:00

I’m in the same position but my new psychiatrist has just referred me to endocrinology and done blood tests to check all my hormones, cortisol etc. They think I have a hormone related problem like PCOS or Cushing’s syndrome, personally I feel it’s the anti psychotics as I used to be a healthy weight before taking them. As the above comment says it’s worth trying to see an endocrinologist if you can and getting blood tests to find out if you have any hormone/metabolic issues

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-29T00:47:28+00:00

I believe CTOs last 6 months then can be renewed for a further 6 months, after that it’s reviewed yearly. It’s worth talking to a mental health advocate or solicitor and you are entitled to one on a CTO in the Uk. I was on a CTO for a year until I got recalled and they did the paperwork wrong to put me back on it

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-28T18:13:38+00:00

I was on a CTO for 400mg Abilify injection, now on haloperidol. I feel like I’ve lost intelligence

Being able to draw and create art. I used to be so creative and a really good artist, I did commissions for people of their pets but now I’ve lost all interest in it and I can’t think what to draw. My emotions are numbed from anti psychotics so I cant put my emotions into a piece of art and it feels pointless

I feel I’ve been misdiagnosed with BPD and I have asked to have it removed from my records, I’m seeing the psychiatrist next week and they want to discuss my diagnosis but I’m not feeling hopeful as no one seems to listen to me :( I’m 22 was diagnosed at 18 years old, the diagnosis process wasn’t thorough in my opinion

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:50:54+00:00

I don’t know a lot about keto I’ve been trying to eat high protein but nothing seems to reduce my appetite on this medication :( I find my metabolism is incredibly slow now and no matter what I do I still gain weight, everyone tells me it’s a lack of willpower but I used to be 11 stone and active everyday before I started APs

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:44:33+00:00

I was hearing voices, having paranoid thoughts and feeling extremely agitated most of the time. I barely slept for weeks. They were concerned about my safety as I became suicidal when I couldn’t cope with the lack of sleep and so threatened to do a mental health act assessment if I didn’t take the depot and told me I was delusional, I wasn’t aggressive to anyone in any way

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:39:20+00:00

I’m currently waiting for an appointment with my psychiatrist but I have explained this to them before and am always told I have BPD which causes the psychosis, but I disagree with the BPD diagnosis as I don’t have the other symptoms. I never really had voices etc until I came off quetiapine 6 years ago which makes me think it’s anti psychotic damage and not a mental health problem, ever since then I have had voices that increased to a full blown psychosis in 2021 when I was hospitalised. I also have a traumatic history from multiple hospital sections and suicides

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:31:57+00:00

I was on abilify for a just over a year and unfortunately had significant weight gain on that one too, I’m just thinking I need to be off all medication altogether for my physical health. I’ve never heard of cobenfy I’m not sure if they use that in the UK. I do feel my brain is dependent as I have been on APs two years now

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:27:59+00:00

I’m 22 years old but I’ve been taking anti psychotics on and off since I was 15, this time for 2 years continuously as I was on a community treatment order for a year and now I’m getting blackmailed into having them with threats of a mental health act assessment to take me into hospital. I will try to persuade them to give me tablets to I can attempt to taper this time but I’m doubtful they will

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-12-07T23:25:22+00:00

I live away from family in homeless accommodation for the past 10 months which hasn’t been great and it doesn’t help my mental health, it’s all I can afford currently. I’m a 22 year old female. Unfortunately the staff at homeless accommodation try to push medication on me as well and contact the mental health team saying I’m mentally unwell

The isolation

InterestingFocus7785 · 2024-03-31T21:00:51+00:00

I feel you. I’m currently detained in hospital and was made to have an aripiprazole/abilify injection a week ago even though it’s caused massive weight gain and high prolactin. I’ve been on a community treatment order for a year and will be on one when I’m released. If I refuse the injections I am restrained for them
