Day 1 Concerta

Today is my first day on Concerta. Took it at 6 am and it's been an hour. So far I feel a little shaky and kinda hyper the way I normally do if I drink too much coffee. Not sure how is affecting my cognition or concentration just yet since is Saturday and I don't have too many mental tasks to work on. I need to eat something. Dont know if it's psychosomatic but I feel less anxious and a little more in control? Will document more later.

EDIT

I feel very chatty and like agitated but not angry or anything. Maybe this dose is too much...

I really wish I had a different psychiatrist. I mean, I like her, but she can definitely be insensitive at times. She literally made me get off the klonopin cold turkey. No tapering process what’s so ever—which can be extremely dangerous. Thankfully I was on a low dose though, and I’ve been off of them completely for almost two months. Then... my most recent visit with her (keep in mind I’ve been on Celexa for months) and she refilled prozac instead of my Celexa. I didn’t realize until I got home from the pharmacy. I was pretty irritated. Prozac made me almost commit suicide, twice. I had to be hospitalized for both attempts. I’ve been taking the Prozac for two days now and I haven’t felt funky at all. Especially since I wasn’t prepared to get off of the Celexa and suddenly switch back. Ughhh. I’ve been taking hydroxyzine for my anxiety. It helps. And of course, trazodone for sleep. I’m glad I got off the ambien and switched to the trazodone; ambien made me sleep walk a ton. It was pretty freaky. Oh well. My rant is over.

Med diary #1

Ok so I just started latuda 3 days ago and I gotta admit I love it. I can sleep!!! Finally!!!!!!

It used to take me two (2) full hours minimum to fall asleep, even while doing nothing but laying in the dark just... Thinking. And now I can drift off peacefully? Its amazing.

Also my man told me im not doing my paranormal activity shit anymore. I dont randomly kick or talk or half way wake up while having a full blown panic attack. I never remember them and he doesn't say much about it but I can tell they're pretty bad. I dont wake up feeling more tired than I did when I went to sleep. What the fuck. Do you mean to tell me sleep can actually be restful??? Amazing.

Anyways. Latuda. I love that shit.

Day 13 of being medicated

Woke up early. Kind of. Woke up at the normal time, but actually got out of bed too. Went on a 2.5 mile walk. Was that walk primarily because of a timed Pokémon Go quest? Sure. But motivations don't matter nearly as much as actions do, or something.
