10mg lexapro & 100mg seroquel before bedtime. Those meds I don't have a problem with, though the seroquel bugs me for health/TD/EPS potential.
I've got a damaged nerve from an old hernia repair that causes significant pain when I breathe. So maybe 3 times a week I'll take 5 mg oxycodone to get relief.
Diazepam is every other day at 5mg when I allow myself.
When I control my pain and anxiety, I feel joy and hope. I know I sound pitiful, but is that so wrong?
Perhaps my symptoms are not being controlled by medication; it's hard for me to say this but 100mg seroquel ain't cutting it for the aural hallucinations and there's a voice that gets through telling me to flush all my meds. Also, I purposely cause myself pain in that nerve-damaged area when I'm agitated.
what a dolt I am.
And now the upshot: we're all survivors, I'm proud of us. If I can be of any help at all to anyone through words of encouragement, let me know.
Helping helps. :)
