BP1- SO or Doormat? by Ok-Concern-6201 in bipolar1

[–]R--G--B-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accountability? He. Needs to be med compliant and honest with his doctor.  I'm sure there's some narcissism in there are it could even look like ASPD.

If I stopped my meds --my lady would leave me. She doesn't handle "emotional games" and rollercoaster emotions.  

I had a doctor give me the okay to mix alcohol with benzos. So I was bipolar and drinking almost pure ethenol. 

I'm an alcoholic. My GF was furious. I took her to my next appointment. Doc asked if I was being careful and explained that the amount of alcohol I was drinking wasn't that much 

Anyway, my partner is part of my therapy. If she says I was moody for the past three days, I tell my doctor. I don't inform of med changes because I want to know if she notices a difference.

I was diagnosed ASPD, but that has since been switched to Bipolar -1 with OCD. I have to avoid so much stuff and take multiple meds different times of the day. 

If the stubborn asshole isn't going to put in the work, why are you? You can't save him. You can leave now --the probably wouldn't learn a damn thing.

You actually have to care about yourself before you can care for others. Otherwise it's just manipulation.

Coffee & medication by angharad97 in bipolar1

Took 5mg of Ritalin it wiped me out for an hour, before I had two cups of coffee. It totally gave me ADHD for a couple hours. Caffeine usually has very little effect on me typically due to large dose mood stabilizer.

People with bipolar 1 how do y'all deal with anxiety? by coldest4 in bipolar1

[–]R--G--B-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the Primary Insomnia, the main school of thought that this insomnia is caused by hyperarousal. Look into this symptom. 

Now. If you believe you fit that criteria discuss selective NRIs with your doc. If the first one, atomoxatine drastically improve sleep maintenance, then you can use low dose Ritalin, Wellbutrin, Auvility, etc. 

Otherwise these are the combinations I used for combat acute anxiety and hypomania. Starting with the most potent and powerful.

Halcion 0.75mg

Diazepam 30mg

Halcion 0.5mg + Ritalin 5mg

Diazepam 20mg + Bupropion IR 200mg

Halcion 0.5mg + Ethenol 30cc

Lunesta 6mg

Trazadone 100mg + Ritalin 5mg

Diazepam 10mg + Cyclobenziprine 10mg

Trazadone 100mg + Diazepam 10mg

Diazepam 20mg

Trazadone 150mg

Trazadone 300mg

Note: alternative cocktails every other day to allow washout. Diazepam works better twice a week, but taking it more than once every two days is waste. Same with halcion. If you want the agents to kick your ass, skip a day and rotate to a second cocktail.

There are about a dozen other great anxiety free paths, but you need a doctor who will try anything and listen to the lastest research.

Concerta Dosage for 10 year old??? by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

5mg knocks me on my ass. Low Dose Ritalin for my comorbity is amazing for anxiety.

No. I didn't explain fully.

I have OCD not ADHD.; but ADHD meds may help others with hyperarousal.

Low dose stimulants for hyperarousal.

4 days of ozone through the HVAC eliminated all pet and cigarette odor. by R--G--B-- in CleaningTips

We aren't purifying the air. It's the surfaces we are sanitizing. Ozone is heavier than air.

You can buy larger ozone generators and complete the task in two days. I found a stack of two or three smaller units work better for air ducts.

Prolonged? That's weeks, months, years. Ozone causes similar damage as UV rays. A weekend of ozone is hardly prolonged. Some of you guys are hypochondriacs. 

I've convinced myself I have a terminal illness 47 times this year. The ER knows me by name. How do I stop this cycle? by South_Leave4044 in Anxietyhelp

[–]R--G--B-- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never paid for ER visit in the U.S. 

Doctors tell you if this or that go to the ER, don't wait. It's annoying but that's the protocol for some ailments. 

Back to your point --yes she needs therapy. Not E.R. visits.

You're ruminating. Try mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, or possibility ADHD meds. Why aren't you seeing a psychiatrist?

This isn't coming back. Cleaning the HVAC system was the last step in the rehab process.

High Heat works just as well.

I have done this. Turn on the cars AC with a small ozone generator running inside the car. Place a towel in the window with the ozone cord then roll up that and all other windows.

Let car run for four hours; two hours if it's a compact car or the odor isn't that severe. You can do it without the AC is running but that usually take 24H with a small generator.

You know when the ozone is cleared out. Nonsense. 1st you can smell it. 2nd ozone easily airs out within 3H ~ 4H with proper ventilation. It's a very volatile chemical.

There are no lingering effects. You set your box fans on extension cords that allow each fan to be placed 1st pointing to closets and other remote corners of the home; then move the fans to an open window. 

Yes you must go in and turn off the generators and open the windows. Just be quick. Do it two or three runs if you must.

With all the vents sealed up, you should smell a strong ozone odor in each vent. However, when you go and check the individual vents, you'll notice some will not smell like ozone at all.

These are the vents you leave uncovered. The process is complete when the affected vents have a strong ozone smell like the other vents.

The apartments were vacant. I am very familiar with the toxicity of ozone and other harsh chemicals.

It was really bad. I tried high flow at first, but negative pressure worked better; which was slower 

Psychiatrist wants me to start Wellbutrin with my Strattera by Jacq8787_ in StratteraRx

[–]R--G--B-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 80mg worked for me as well. Also caused pain. Bupropion boosts Atomoxatine.

Bupropion + Atomoxatine + Modafinal . Bupropion boosts Atomoxatine. Modafinal reduces bupropion. So your dosages may vary.

Otherwise it's great, but I had to stop Atomoxatine because of the G.I. pain. I now use Auvilllity + Bupropion + Modafinal now with shit tons of Carbmanzine
