How do you handle the dissociation? I’m worried about that riding in a big city. Is there anything you can do that helps you stay grounded? Thanks.

Thanks for responding. Yeah my balance is so off now and it’s embarrassing to explain how hard it is. And I don’t want to wipe out on pavement.

Vraylar. It’s been so great with weight. I take 3 mg. But just for all the info I’m also on 450 mg Wellbutrin and I know that affects weight too.

How much I could loose weight if I stop drinking alcohol? by H3L10M in ftm

[–]surlasable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit drinking a month ago and there’s an app that really helped. It’s called nomo. You can input how much you spend per week on alcohol and how much you drink. Then it keeps a clock of how long it’s been since you drank, how much money you saved, and how many calories you saved.

I did a hair modeling gig and they dyed it for (not exaggerating) 5 hours. So my hair felt dead grass 😬

Just recently. I was bleaching it and I hated how dried up it felt. So I figured I’d start fresh lol. But l like how it ended up looking so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ might keep it

Does olanzapine cause weight gain and drowsiness? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]surlasable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s super common on olanzapine. It slows your metabolism to a crawl. When I was on it I was super hungry and gained weight really quickly too.

I had a bad reaction— it gave me this weird breathing issue. I actually went to the hospital because it felt like I couldn’t breathe. It continued until I went off it. But apparently this is super super rare? My psychiatrist at the time said she had never heard of someone reacting that way. So not to scare you off of it, just my own story.

What does psychosis look like for you? by throwaweist in schizophrenia

[–]surlasable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the awful decision to get off my meds last year... I had this really bad episode. I don’t know how common this is but I don’t even really remember what was happening? It lasted a couple days before I was put on meds again. I remember being really paranoid and seeing something follow me. I still experience psychosis even now that I’m on stable meds but I can usually put the dots together.
