It’s so hard isn’t it. I try to keep ontop of things - especially in the current climate, but once I’m lost in my own thoughts it’s a case of F it, I don’t care, it’s never stuff for me either! Always on others.

Same. Last time was a trampoline for the kids. Then late last night I ordered a climbing frame that I really can’t affordIt’s so hard isn’t it.

Me tooI spend like crazy when I’m upset/very low.. I’m usually great with money and love saving and being on budget. But I get in these moods where I just lose control, I just love spending
I take Aripiprazole, luckily no side effects, I have taken several other Anti Psychotics and they have all caused extreme weight gain. A good mood stabiliser for me was Lamotrigine. I came off it last year when I started a different med as they contra indicated.Hi
I was put on aripiprazole to help with my depression I’m also on five other meds for it but I had to stop taking this as I was getting tardive dyskinesia and couldn’t sleep the issue I have is that was the first med to really help me! I have a review on Friday I just wondered if anyone else was on mood stabilisers/anti psychotics that work and don’t have that side effect so I can ask to trial it. I really haven’t felt so well in a long time that when I was on it… so frustrating
I take Quetiapine alongside 2 antidepressants and the Quet has helped the most since it was added. It’s an antipsychotic which can be added to help with mood.Hi

Mirtazapine was evil! I couldn’t stop eating carbs, craving toast at bed time etc. I had real munchies on that. Quet and Olanzapine also caused huge weight gain for me.I take Quetiapine alongside 2 antidepressants and the Quet has helped the most since it was added.

I haven’t had issues with side effects - whereas with mirtazapine I gained loads of weight, and with venlafaxine I became totally detached.
It might help you to have a full review with someone totally different, if it’s possible? My GP asked for me to see a different psychiatrist, and he has been amazing. Totally reviewed my meds and we’re switching them all (apart from quetiapine!) mostly to ease side effect burden.
Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes helps.
Good luck x
Might be worth seeing if the levels could be adjusted of what you’re already taking? Sometimes that’s enough to help usMirtazapine was evil! I couldn’t stop eating carbs, craving toast at bed time etc. I had real munchies on that. Quet and Olanzapine also caused huge weight gain for me.
I currently rattle with the amount I take and although in a real low at the moment I’m hoping it will pass as I can’t face anymore chances as think I’ve tried everything.
I wish I could but unfortunately I’m on the max of everything. I’m waiting to start a TC for my EUPD but the lists are just so long. Luckily I have regular reviews with CPN & Psychiatrist. I just take things hour by hour. Sending love to youMight be worth seeing if the levels could be adjusted of what you’re already taking? Sometimes that’s enough to help us
Wishing you lots of luck for the right outcome. Those assessments can be awful.just had my PIP assessment over the telephone. for depression/anxiety and severe eczema. The lady was nice on the phone I didn't feel like she was badgering me or trying to trick me out. She says decision will be made in 6 weeks
That’s good! Well donejust had my PIP assessment over the telephone. for depression/anxiety and severe eczema. The lady was nice on the phone I didn't feel like she was badgering me or trying to trick me out. She says decision will be made in 6 weeks
There’s plenty of online resources to help you apply. Or the CAB can help too. There’s no harm in applying, it helps with additional costs. Mine helps with heating etc as my physical health is worse when cold.That’s good! Well done
I’ve been encouraged to apply because of PTSD and depression (been signed off work 2 1/2 years so far) but I can’t do it for some reason.
Please apply. I put it off for many years and my support worker finally pushed me to take the jump and apply. The form is annoying and the telephone assessment was jarring (not sure how I would have done if it was a face to face assessment.) Definitely worth a try!That’s good! Well done

I had the same, I was in a psych ward at the time and they rang me out of the blue with no warning! The assessment only lasted SIX minutes, which I was sure I had failed. However, a few weeks later I did get awarded PIP and i'm so thankful.just had my PIP assessment over the telephone. for depression/anxiety and severe eczema. The lady was nice on the phone I didn't feel like she was badgering me or trying to trick me out. She says decision will be made in 6 weeks
