and I'm typing from the psyc hospital trying really hard to get out of this hell hole I've dropped into.

Hoping the new meds make a difference soon so I can join SR everyday

Glad you were able to get a minute to check in. I hope they get your meds situation soon. It can definately be frustrating when they stop working. It seems like I have to have mine tweaked ever 6 months or so. But I am constantly on guard for signs and symptoms that they are not working.

You're not alone any more.

hopefully I'll get out of this place soon but for now it's keeping me alive and sober

tw33k · 01-30-2008, 03:31 PM

You will get out,,,,alive and sober. Then you need to do what it takes to maintain.
You aren't alone, remember that.

You are definitely in the right place right now. What meds are you currently on? My previous meds stopped working and then my general family doc put me on just lexapro which put me in a mania for 3 months. I'm finally on a cocktail of meds that is working so far.

I really hope your new meds work for you.

my own meds of ADHD .. in ten years - man. I don't know how many different 'blends' I was on ...
but I sure learned to know when they 'turned' on me.

mx - you hang in!

mxchaos · 02-04-2008, 04:46 PM

new med is kicking in and I should be out of this place sometime this week thanks for being here for me

Medication does make a difference but it's not a miracle. Listen to the people around you and learn what you can from the experience. It feels like jail until you get out and relize you were safe there. Make sure you find your support team for those dark moments.
