Spend the pound Chapuys and go and get yourself a coffee while you wait. Any update on the use of doxepin?

SnowyMouse · 03/02/2015 15:10

No, if i go I'll cut down on my antipsychotic, so best not to.

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 15:36

too sedating?

OP posts:
SnowyMouse · 03/02/2015 15:37

Yes.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 03/02/2015 15:41

Are there other anti-psychotics you can try, maybe ones which are less sedating? I know mine are but I don't know how common that is.

SnowyMouse · 03/02/2015 15:45

I've tried olanzapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine. Now on clozapine.

is not ideal is it, if one treatment stops you accessing others and keeps you isolated, at home :( any compromise that can be made there? part-time attendance/take meds earlier the day before?

mad cancerous friend is having similar dilemmas with her mental disorder meds and cancer treatments, life can be so shit

I also can't keep my promise to go out because of the snow. Ah well. If I take the meds earlier in the day, I get sleepy before the carers have been.

I just took delivery of THIS!!!! it's amazing

no message with it but think is belated birthday present - how naughty would it be to race in it on Sunday instead of club vest?

Wow. You wouldn't get lost wearing that.

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 16:06

Very nice. Makes my black thermals look very boring.

I am going home early, talk later.

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 16:10

be careful on the way home, there have been light dustings of snow everywhere Shock

CaulkheadUpNorth · 03/02/2015 16:10

I can beat it with my rainbow stripy thermals. Grin

I have the academics Costa card as a thank you for rescuing her yesterday. Who wants something?She thinks there is £10 on there Shock but I promised not to spend it all.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 03/02/2015 16:11

No snow here, although you would have thought there was given my atrocious car parking

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 16:24

they probably won't have it at Costa and it is winter etc but I really fancy a granita (don't usually like them)

so any icy lemony thing please caulk

There's flat lemonade but that's it.

Millie2013 · 03/02/2015 16:33

That's kind of her, Caulk :) Can I have one of those biscuits with jam in the middle please?

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 16:37

lemonade sounds heavenly, thank you

you are really making up for the disappointment of the coffee this morning :)

CaulkheadUpNorth · 03/02/2015 16:37

Of course.
She is lovely and I am v v fortunate to be able to count her as a friend, but I did millions of jobs for her yesterday and she thinks I should leave the house more!

CaulkheadUpNorth · 03/02/2015 16:38

I gave you purple tea.

What's happening about cmht today?

Mitchy1nge · 03/02/2015 16:40
