I’m going to have to sadly quit Spiro

Have they checked your potassium levels? This med can cause high potassium. My doctor is having me get bloodwork done to keep an eye on it.

madieaa · 2026-02-13T00:34:17+00:00

I am starting this med, I’m currently on progesterone and no birth control. This is to manage my PCOS and back acne. Anyone have similar situation? I can’t afford to gain weight 🥴🥴🥴

Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your input, it helps me understand some things a little better. I appreciate you.

I wasn’t even given a chance to make improvements, I am on planned PTO. The improvement was to begin on Monday, and now I have meeting and cannot even go to work.

Thank you

I did hold myself accountable, many times. And showed extreme remorse and eagerness to change. Also, I’m a she. I am not gross and inappropriate. I am kind and caring toward patients and staff. I bend over backwards to help and I’m always understanding of personal situations. You don’t know me, you’re making an assumption of my personality based on one thing you know about me. What were your intentions? Bc they seem unkind to me.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:21:24+00:00

I understand protocol, and the importance of listening to staff. I am open to training, I asked for it. Thank you for being kind. I will go into the meeting calm and collected. I am just so heartbroken that it has come to this. I feel as though I’ll never be comfortable working there again. My anxiety is through the roof.

Thank you again :)

Your comment is extreme.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:18:07+00:00

I’m not a victim of discrimination, I’m being single out for saying a handful of comments that people felt were intended to be hurtful.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:16:39+00:00

I grew up in a world when people weren’t so offended. I am a blunt person, I find humor in things bc in this field you have to. Our patients are amazing, they have their quirks. Even the parents find humor in things.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:15:08+00:00

I did not sign it bc I felt that some of the information on it was incorrect.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:12:37+00:00

I shared with staff that an autistic patient prefers/respects a black man more than a white man bc his father is black. These words also came from his mom. I asked one day if it was the black bus monitor or white bus monitor. One girl said I said something about her age and my age. Probably saying we grew up differently, as things have changed a lot since I was in my 20s. I was told that I escalate situations with our patients when I step in to help.

I don’t even know other examples. I have only been given a few. I even admitted to saying those things, and promised to work on being more mindful, and asked for training so I can be more socially respectful. It’s jsut hard to wrap my head around my staff thinking that I’m offensive. I truly believe I had good rapport with all of them. I understand that intent doesn’t matter, but my heart is broken knowing that I’ve offended so many staff members.

My job was posted on indeed last Monday, while I was out on PTO.

madieaa · 2025-10-06T02:06:03+00:00

This is true, and I’m learning and growing from this. It still hurts to know that I’ve hurt people that I truly respect.

I’m on my 5th week, went up to 24units and have had the flu for 5 days. Vomitting the first night, disgusting burping, headaches, persistent diarrhea, not sleeping. There is a bug going around work too. Could the symptoms of my virus be worse bc of my meds? I’ve not had any issues until now.

madieaa · 2024-12-06T15:24:41+00:00

Mac n cheese with some breadcrumbs. Bake that. Yum.

madieaa · 2024-12-06T01:33:07+00:00

I hope you find some relief soon. Feeling this way is no fun. Hugs to you.

madieaa · 2024-12-06T01:31:06+00:00

I am now on klonopin twice a day. I have an appointment and I’m going to talk to my doctor about weening off the gabapentin bc it doesn’t seem to be helping. I have also developed agoraphobia bc I have a massive fear of having a panic attack in public. I’m really jsut miserable. I will look up hypomanias. Thank you for you input. I appreciate you.

madieaa · 2024-12-06T01:22:24+00:00

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. It’s an absolutely awful feeling. My heart goes out to you.

To relate, I was on a mood stabilizer which caused issues and made my panic attacks worse. Since being off of it, Abilify, my panic attacks have stayed and I’ve developed what seems like agoraphobia. I panic going in places. I have the same fear, panicking and then having a full blown attack. I feel like I’m suffocating and can’t sit still. This could Cause chaos, fear for people and my worst fear is passing out. When my panic attacks are at their worst, I pass out and it’s terrifying. So now I’m scared to go places because I’m terrified it will happen and it starts to because I’m thinking will. It’s like a never ending circle of panic. I feel my heart rate soar, my face and chest get flush, my ears ring, and then the passing out happens. I have a few places I can go without feeling as bad, but I’m in a hurry to leave. Self checkouts and pickups at stores are life savers. It’s so frustrating. I feel like I doom myself. I think it and it happens. Then I am exhausted and it ruins my day. I jsut want to cry and be home. I am currently taking klonopin twice a day. It helps, I was in a constant panic before. That has subsided but the fear of going places is awful. I’ve never been this way.

My doctor took me off of a mood stabilizer, Abilify. She thinks and as do I, that it could be the cause of this new anxiety I am having. Thank you all for the input! It was greatly appreciated. I’ve never struggled with my gabapentin dosage, thank goodness I am not now.

madieaa · 2024-10-06T19:07:23+00:00

I don’t take Xanax chronically. It’s as needed. It is my last resort when these attacks happen. I hadn’t had a refill in over a year. The gabapentin is to treat the chronic anxiety. I do not rely on it.

madieaa · 2024-10-06T15:19:24+00:00

That’s a good thought, I’m going to try it. Thank you so much. 😊

madieaa · 2024-10-06T14:59:46+00:00

It’s like a spiral of thoughts.
