Hi all, I've been on seroquel for quite some time. We had to upgrade it a little when I had a psychotic break of two months. My question is is it normal to not feel anything? I'm unhappy but my unhappiness is just a sort of tenderness in the backround. I am severely withdrawn from people. I feel like Ive lost my humanity. I go through the motions of laughing, smiling, being pleseant (when absolutely needed) but I dont feel any of it.
My doctor changed my medicine to another anti-psychotic, and my pupils stopped getting large.
Well, I'm not sure about that. Antipsychotics don't work right away. Tranquilizers do. Antipsychotics, if they do work, work all the time. Tranquilizes only work for a short period of time and then wear off. If she took this as an antipsychotic injection, it would be during an emergency situation but she would have to take the shots for several months and then go on the medication for longer than that.
ve been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I get horrible depression because of my bipolar. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick.
I have bipolar 1 with psychotic features. Is there any anti psychotic that doesn't make you gain weight?
I am on risperdal consta 25 mg, and I have gained 35 pounds in 10 months. I am not on any other medication, and yet I keep on gaining weight. Does all the anti psychotic make you gain weight? Is there any anti psychotic that doesn't make you gain weight?
Reach arms out in front and to the side. These are robot arms. No one can get closer than robot arms. Then quiet robot arm or space bubble reminders (without an upset tone, just a reminder). This worked for my son. We also did a lot of choice giving "do you want to sit in the circle in your space bubble, in a chair along the side (comfy chair like bean bag), or at your table? They choose. Not just redirected but given power of acceptable choices.
Ohhhhhhhh tecnology. I was reading about roxxxy the sex robot on yahoo and had to laugh. I am just gonna copy a few parts from the page and tell me what you think, lmao.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AFP) - Billed as a world first, Roxxxy the sex robot made her debut in front of adoring fans at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
"She's a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep.
hi my names ryan, 23. I have been suffering from depression since the age of 18 but a year ago I was put on venlafaxine and it helped me alot, I felt happier and was able to function properly. But about two weeks ago I fellout with my friend who I am no longer friends with, and since then I have felt numb and I cant feel any emotions at all. Its like I'm a robot.
I've had pain, bleeding, and unbelievable tiredness since my da vinci robot assist hysterectomy. In fact, I had to undergo an emergency surgery 4 weeks after my actual surgery because the robot knicked an artery. I severely hemorrhaged from that mistake. Still today, now 6 weeks later, I'm bleeding and have excruciating pain in my lower right pelvic area. I'm so depressed, I'm having to take anxiety medicine.
I suppose anyone can have a strange reaction to something but I've never heard of marijuana producing a psychotic reaction. People will have their underlying mood exaggerated by it, so if your son is anxious marijuana might make him more so. Much more so. And that can set off conditioned thinking, so such people should avoid it. But it sounds like something else to me or what you're describing isn't accurate, just an acute thing going on between the two of you.
my 22 year old son just experienced a psychotic break. I need to understand how he was feeling. Is there anyone who has personally experienced this, and would be willing to describe what you felt? I am desperate to understand what he is going through.
5 which I feel fine.. As of late I have been waking up with what my friend believes is psychotic episodes, moments of ultra confusion for me as I usually have no recolection. It is now getting to the point where I could hurt myself as I thrash about and walk into walls. I had a CT Scan which showed no problem. These attacks which I thought where TIA"s (Transient ischaemic attacks) mini strokes if you like proved otherwise..
Not every breakdown is psychotic. I had a complete mental breakdown about 16 years ago or so which lead to 3 years of crushing depression - my illness course leaves me prone to this type of breakdown.
However not being on meds? Dont know - i went nearly 15 years not on meds and i thought i was fine until I wasnt and went psychotic manic, so you might be fine for a long time as well.
And I wasnt fine, I was hypomanic and looking back had at least 3 mini breakdowns and burnouts in that time.
I am currently recovering from a severe depression with suicide ideation in which i apparently had psychotic symptoms. Has anyone else had psychosis without knowing what it was until speaking to your therapist about what was going on? and does anyone have any advice as to what to look for in oneself when psychosis starts?
My pdoc yesterday told me it's possible to have a psychotic break from too severe anxiety. This scares me bad, what is that? Does that mean I'll go crazy and hurt someone? Myself? Has anyone ever had one of these? Also is there anyone here that has had several months of severe anxiety, then slowly goes back to several months of calm? I'm afraid this feeling will last forever. Just to make sure I'm experiencing this "anxiety" what does it feel like to u all?
She is 20 years old and in college. Today she told me she felt like she was having a psychotic breakdown.What is this kind of breakdown?
So, here is something that worked with my guy when he was little. It was called robot arms. If you stick your arms out like a robot and walk up to someone, you can't get any closer than those outstretched robot arms. :>) So, we role played and made it fun. And then I could say "robot arms' or his teacher could and he could remind himself as it got to be a habit that you aren't to get closer to anyone than that. Another approach is the person bubble.
You can make it fun like robot arms. You put your arms out straight and to the sides straight too like a robot and walk around. He does it too. then you say you can't get any closer to other kids than the robot arms. I used this and would gently say robot arms to remind my son when we were out. Also, you could do a space bubble. Pretend he has a bubble around him and other kids also have a bubble. You don't get closer than your space bubbles. This helps.
I really cant help if after the birth of her last baby, if she wasnt put on an antidepressant, and shes not having a bad reaction. News says she is in hospital now and try are trying to get a court order to force her to take the meds which she is currently refusing.
Mabey SHE knows more than the doctors regarding whats making her act so bizzare...

hi, I have a 6 year old myself and many of them are often in other's space a bit. If the school is starting to work on it, then it is an ongoing problem. Don't feel alone, many kids don't naturally pick up on social boundaries. I say it is an ongoing problem because most likely he's been instructed on this by his teacher and now the counselor is called in as it is not improving.
Here are some things you can do to 'teach' him about boundaries.
