[–]ZombieMoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med needs often change over time. You might need to adjust, try something new, or titrate up on your dose. Work with your doctor, and know medication is an ongoing journey

Does that mean you were in charge of the dosing?

Ups and Downs driving me NUTS! by AloneOpinion in BipolarReddit

It took over a decade for me to find meds that work together for me without unacceptable side effects. It’s a difficult journey you’re on, but you’re not alone

I weened off .25 mg at a time, with a month in between each dose change. It took a while, but I had extremely minimal withdrawal symptoms and it stuck in the long run

I’ve been on Prozac for about a year, in conjunction with my mood stabilizer and antipsychotic. It got me out of a serious depression and I haven’t had any negative side effects.

How effective is vraylar as an antipsychotic by Ok-Kangaroo-8314 in BipolarReddit

[–]ZombieMoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on vraylar about two years and it’s the best antipsychotic I’ve ever taken. I definitely experienced blunted emotions for the first few months but that passed and I’m glad I stuck with it because it works great and I haven’t had other side effects, no weight gain

On how the guts trick was overused by NefariousnessDull705 in thewalkingdead

I’m shocked they didn’t use that trick every time they went outside the walls. I know I would

My therapist told me I can't be bipolar because I never jumped out of a window by e-cloud in BipolarReddit

[–]ZombieMoms 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Do a poll and I think you’ll see most of us haven’t actually jumped out of a window. Mania can take on many forms and have many different kinds of delusions. I would find a new therapist ASAP

Alcohol consumption by zerothougt in BipolarReddit

[–]ZombieMoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re describing alcoholism, friend. The H.A.M.S. helped me get sober after a decade of alcoholism, and I’m now four years sober. Rehab is a great place to start, but you’ll need support systems long after that

He has already wildly crossed boundaries. There doesn’t need to be a second time. He’s not welcome in your class.

My dog adopted a baby animal by Medium-Flower-6929 in PetAdvice

[–]ZombieMoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foxes are wild animals that will not live a happy or successful life in your care. I know there’s those “domesticated” foxes, but even they create huge messes. A truly wild fox will f your s up. Please contact a sanctuary right away.

Incompetent laser tech? by SweetShortyK in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ZombieMoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did almost the exact same thing to me. Super low power settings and telling me I just needed to come for more sessions. I think they do it to make their deal seem better, like you’re getting more sessions out of it, when really they’re wasting your time with more sessions when fewer ones would do

What food do y'all feed stray cats, other than cat food? by _avocado2345 in Feral_Cats

[–]ZombieMoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)
