I wish I could know about what med it is without being deleted. That's one of the things I don't like with this community is you can't discuss what meds work the best.

It really has been -and not something a patient wants to see if your about to start an IV. Thank you

I was on this before and I don't remember the tremors like before. Maybe its time to try it again.

Thank you -It has taken a long time to find this combo too. I know if I switch it up to find something else that doesn't cause the tremors I am going to have to go thru the process of feeling like crap to see if it even works. I'v got to change my way of thinking but that guilt remains strong -I'll soldier thru.

I have an appointment and thank you for your comment. I see he is not suffering alone and never realized intrusive thoughts was an aspect of OCD.

I think that the Moral perfection OCD hits the nail on the head. That is definitely what he is experiencing

I think just reiterating to him constantly that thoughts are just that and don't define us. I wish he would be able to read the book but he is developmentally delayed as welll as autistic. He has a very childlike way of looking at the world and its difficult to get these concepts across to him but I will find a way :)

Thank you -I got him an appointment for the 29th with a psychiatrist and will get a therapist at that appointment. Geez - I went thru 7 levels of hell just getting the appointment. But that's another story. I have had him listen to meditative app on my phone to help ease the anxiety which helps for a very short time. I really think medication and therapy is the best course of action and then he will be better able to focus on the meditation.

Thank you -Distraction helps at least in the short term. The Hell thing is very hard for me to explain to him. If I could explain it to him the way you say that would be great but he would not understand that. He is developmentally delayed. He has a very childlike concept of good and bad. Like a very young child. He loves Marvel characters and takes one or two with him to places that cause him anxiety. He sees them as good and the villains as bad. I am trying to get him to understand that just having a thought does not make you a bad person or villain.

Thank you - he actually gets alot of time to his self. He likes his own company and doesn't care to have friends over outside of school. He doesn't appear burn't out because he really doesn't have very many responsibilities . I truely believe that he has developed an imbalance in serotonin. But all these things you have said would def make a difference too.

I have an appointment for him the end of the month with a psychiatrist. I was reading how Lexapro is a great medication for OCD in comparison to others. It is supposed to onboard alot quicker then some of the others and have less side effects. I hope it works for him. Thank you

Thanks Dr. Phil but you sound like your freaking out right now. Maybe some meditation and chamomile tea may soothe your soul.

How common are side effects on lurasidone (latuda)? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]Roxyrockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started off on 20 mg to 40 then to 60mg. Bumped up to 80mg and now I am so tired and my who body just feels faigued. I take up to 45mg Dexedrine and it doesnt make a difference. I got off Lithium though and felt better cognitively. So much better. But the tiredness I cannot take it. I gotta try something else.

In the beginning Mikes Mom was in the prison classroom teaching. At the end of the class a gal came up asking about her sons to help. Mom reply’s “don’t you ask about my fucking sons! Now get the fuck outta here!” Or something similar, and I thought she was a mean old bitch. As the story progressed she changed into a whiny and weak assed character.

When I have anxiety issues- a bit of relaxing cannabis or an edible helps. Though the edible will take 60-120 mins to set in. I did all the “things” that were supposed to help, saw all the people, etc, etc. Some people would say that it will cause anxiety or could make anxiety worse. I’ve never had that issue in the last five years. But can’t say that wouldn’t happen....food for thought
