> When I start getting EPS from an AP, it *always* gets worse the longer I stay on it. The only AP I didn't get EPS from was thioridazine (a conventional). Of course, I haven't tried the newest atypicals, but really don't want to however (don't think I *need* to). Risperdal was definitely MUCH worse than Seroquel. I was the one who asked about it first and was told by my pdoc ("they SAY it doesn't cause EPS, but it DOES"), and let me give it a low-dose trial, and sure enough it DID. No akathisia though, this was different. It was disturbed gait. I could walk and feel my muscles "lock up" at certain points while I was walking-like somebody flipping a switch off and on. I also got the stiff-tongue thing (dystonia) on it like I got from Stelazine.
damn... okay i guess i will count myself lucky with zyprexa. i just hope it doesn't counter-act the ritalin too much
funny thing is ... i'm getting tremors from effexor!
sleeping too much), but I start having dozens of projects to start and I can't get started on any given one and can't follow through and stay on one task-what a mess! Kind of like a mild mixed picture of sorts.
Hmmm... I still can't believe you can get away with taking adderall. Maybe i'm more type 1-ish
> I think so too. My sleep quality/architecture/quantity mirrors my mood states almost to a tee. If I try a med that causes insomnia and sleep deprivation-watch for highs to get exaggerated down the road. If I take something that is too sedative and I get to sleeping in too much-I start to get into a depressive snowball. I doing enforced darkness right now and it is helping me to sleep better and my highs are much less jagged than they normally are at this time of year.hmmm..... i can't think of anything to do other than sleep. it seems like everything costs money. and my friends all work during the day.
oh glorious sleep! what would i do without you?
