  1. Have been having tremors from my antipsychotic med, so now im trying out a new Rx of propranolol which i guess is a beta blocker and seems pretty benign.

    I probably could skip taking the propranolol because the tremors dont often bug me. Mostly its people noticing and bringing it up to me out of concern. The tremors are only a problem sometimes (its inconsistent) doing fine motor activities. Lol, you should see me trying to eat soup!

    I could also try a smaller dose of olanzapine but I dont want to mess with a good thing--have been riding pretty stable for a while now and have already lowered the dosage once recently. Id rather have tremors than psychosis.

    Until this last adjustment i have been prescribed 5 mg over the fda recommended max dose, so now im down to 20 mg. Anyways, I plan on giving this new med a shot.

  6. I haven't had to use my rescue med, resperidone, for psychosis in 7 months.

    Before my last med change I was having to take it every 1 to 3 weeks. That was when I was on seroquel for my primary antipsychotic. Now I'm on olanzipine for my primary and it works well for me, even though it's a high dosage. I still take seroquel but at a very low dosage as needed for anxiety.

    I do experience fatigue, as a side effect I believe, but it is worth it when weighing against the benefits. I also have a lot of apathy and some cognitive difficulties, and lack of motivation, but these are not necessarily side effects, just shit i have to deal with because of schizoaffective disorder. The lack of motivation is probably why I haven't been posting on mastodon.

  7. I wish that my mom and I had been born 20 years later. Maybe 30 and I was still a baby.

    Regardless of if it is a better or worse time in general, people have a much better understanding of what #tourettes is now, which we both have very badly, in a form that doesn't fit ignorant people's stereotype.

    I didn't even know until 27. She never did.

    She was misdiagnosed as #schizoaffective and so was I for a while. Everyone just thought we were crazy, and so did we.

  12. A story of a woman who didn't know her brother was schizophrenic until he was an adult.

    Do we, as a society, stigmatize others by using DSM-V mental diagnoses words as a replacement phrase for "mentally ill", or even worse, "crazy" or "insane"?

    What if it were you or in your family?
