Well my husband wouldn't go any where yesterday he kept thinking that someone was going ot show up here. I talked to his pdoc and we had appointment for today. They told me if he acted as though he would harm himself to call 911. He was just pacing most of the day, and he was getting extremly tired he had told me he hadn't slept in a couple of days.. My parents called to say they were coming over and just before they got they got here he told me he was tired so I got his medicine and they told me to give him something to help him sleep and he agreed to take it I grabbed his Risperdal and it was all gone there were 23 tablets yesterday, I asked him what happended to them and he said he didn't know, he was getting aggitated about the voices and he was slapping his head and told me he wanted a knife to cut out the transmitter he thought was in his jaw, I told him I was going to take him to the er but my parents came and we talked to him he wanted to go and get help but was afraid it was so late that they wouldn't do anything last night. So he layed down and felll asleep, he woke up when I went to bed and he told me that the voices had stopped and he was feeling much better he couldn't beleive what had been going on. It was like a light switch finally came on, he had a good night sleep and this morning he is doing much better although he is very anxious he is afraid he has screwed up his business while he was sick...... Hopefully things will improve... I am thinking that the voices haven't stopped all together I am sure he will have more episodes before the meds take full effect.....
So sorry for the rambling.....

WOW!!!
Okay, this is a little difficult, because I am at work, and may need to leave the computer(nobody can read this, don't worry)...I know too well what you are going through honey...
I am so sorry you have to go through this!!! YOU ARE DEFINITELY STRONG! SO, did you ever find out what happened to the risperdal? DOes he have a habit of refusing or throwing out meds? I hate to say it, but, I think it is safe to say he will have more episodes...can you please remind me of his diagnosis...My dad is paranoid Schizophrenic. My ex boyfriend, who I just spoke with this morning, who I still love, and who refuses to admit we are no longer going out is schizo-affective, manic...I need you to first, NEVER apologize to me for rambling, that is all I do...:).
ALso, you are not rambling, you are reporting, venting...ALso, please try to work on saying sorry...I have a problem with this myself, I apologize for everything, everyone, once I heard from somewhere, everytime you apologize when its not your fault, you lower your self worth!!!
YOU NEED TO REMEMBER, this is happening to youtoo1!! Just because your husband is the one who is sick, you are suffering your own real pains!! THere are so many times my ex boyfriend has paced and hurt himself because of the voices, paranoia...It is so sad to see them change right in front of your eyes, and you know, looking at them right there in the room with you, that you cant reach them...it sucks. I do believe it is good thet he was able to sleep at home last night; the hospital trip is another traumatic, exhausting experience in itself, and I believe each time it can be avoided, ultimately lessens the degree of stress on everyone. I am curious thoug, was he definitely asleep when you went to bed, or just laying down? THere have been so many times both my dad, and my ex have laid down, eyes closed, but really not asleep. And afraid of hospital trips, so would tell me the voices are gone, etc. My ex, right now, isn't taking his risperdal...he hates the way it makes him feel...I get that, but, IT IS SO frustrating...how many times...everytime they go down, it still hurts me so much...when was he working? I am sorry for having to stop now...please write back, i will be on all day...for the most part..when you write back, if you have the time of course, i will finish...I hope you feel better...things will get better for you, I GIVE YOU A LOT OF CREDIT!!!! AND YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS!!!

((((HUGS)))) This is so hard for you I know. Things will get better. Stay the course as long as you can, but without wasting yourself away. I'm glad your husband got a good night's sleep and is doing better. I will be praying he continues to do so. You're a strong woman; that's evident. Keep your strength in God and you'll be unstoppable. Hang in there.

I'm sorry your having such a hard time. Maybe your husband threw away the resperidal. I was taking resperidal and I hated it. I got to the point where I refused to take it. I think if you take 23 you probably would die. One of the signs that I was overdosing on the resperidal was serious tardive diskenisia which is uncontrollable body movements. Resperidal overdosing is extremly painful. If you see that happening to your husband he is overdosing. Id check with the doctor about the resperidal situation.
