Hi Deneb,
Thanks for the update.
I’m sorry you didn’t feel composed. But on the other hand, perhaps the p-doc got to see something of you when you’re not composed, and that can be important. However, I can imagine that having to wait half an hour didn’t help :(
I don’t think you need to worry about rambling or being incoherent. I think it goes with the territory. We see ‘men in white coats’; we ramble. It’s the nature of these things.
If the p-doc thinks things are serious, then I’d have to say I’m inclined to agree with him. I hope it’s OK to say that; I don’t want to say the wrong thing. I guess I’m really trying to say that I care about you because I see the posts where you talk about death and then a little while later you say you feel fine, but the death thing comes back eventually. To my mind, that’s serious.
I’m sure your p-doc doesn’t think you’re nuts. And I’m sure no one else thinks you’re nuts (I know I don’t). But I think it’s a good idea to take the risperdal and see how it goes. If you decide it’s no good for you then I imagine you can go back to the p-doc who prescribed it and ask him to rethink it. I think it can take a few weeks before it starts to work, so give it a chance. With any luck, it should help you to feel OK more of the time.
If the risperdal works, it doesn’t mean you’re crazy. It just means you need a little help to feel better. That’s all.
Hang in there!
Tamar
