Once again, it is "that time of the month" where my hubby goes to refil all my meds and I am totally out to lunch when he asks what I need. I found out that I am on Restoril now instead of Halcion. I also found out that in the last month I have been to a few places and I have absolutely no memory of it at all. I told him tonight that is sounds like I need a med vacation. He told me as soon as I do, he will pack me in the car and take me to the hospital as that will be the end result anyway. I have been feeling and thinking so much better since he put me on the abilify and the hallucinations have all but stopped. I am thinking WOOOOO HOOOOO maybe I can eventually I can go back to work or school or something but then I am reminded that this will never happen. I am guessing this is how I have it beat. I have to accept things I cannot change and find something that I can. I have a grandson due Oct 10 so he will be my next "goal". I get to babysit as often as she needs me to. That is it I guess. Nite Nite
Plz note that i mean this in the best possible way. If this abilify helps you muchly, why dont u talk to dr & formulate a plan to resume working in the future? Even pt or volunteer can help break monotony. I do 5 minute chores(i got quite a list) & i ask neighboorhood kids to help so they earn a few $ & i find it refreshing to be around kids, they are full of hope & desperate to find if the cute boy/girl on the bus likes them etc. hope this helps GL :)
God Bless
