I had some heavy duty vivid nightmares while on that stuff. Turned out I was never schizophrenic to begin with. Misdiagnosis.

I'm truely sorry if this sounds like an inappropriate question but I don't care about what I read in the pamphlet. With my ex, I totally lost my drive, but I wasn't happy w/him anymore to begin with and knew the relationship was about to end. So I don't know if the Lexapro might have also contributed to my losing it. Anyone had problems w/lexapro in this area or any other areas?

I'm not on it anymore. Since I've been off, I've been losing that weight. Also my hair was falling out and it's grown back. To top it all off it made me like a zombie. Anyone else had weird side effects due to this drug??

This is a supposedly "new" medication? Anyone else have problems with Abilify?

Currently I am about 3 months away from graduation with a Bachelors degree. I have worked before, but now for some reason I feel really lazy (I havent worked since I started college, about 2 years now), I feel like I just dont want to go back to work ever again. Its not just that, I feel lazy about other things too, like looking for a new apartment, and talking with others. I wish there was an easier way to life but I dont think there is. Lately it seems like my motivation has just been crushed. Things just dont seem to really matter anymore. I was accepted to an MBA program but now im thinking it may not be the right time for me, and I should look for a job, or go part time.

I dont know in my life it seems like everything is now out of my control. My wife works but I dont, we dont make any money and rent a room in a shared house. Its like we are going nowhere. How can I change this situation? I need at least 6 months time to save money.

It's not! I mean, sure it's a self-destructive behavior, but so is drinking too much, taking drugs, or even driving way too fast. But if someone goes out and drinks till they puke no ones says they were trying to kill themselves and failed. So why do so many people think that cutting yourself means your suicidal or that it's like a failed suicide attempt or stuff?

What do you do when you're sad, angry, disappointed, feel terrible, failed something... ?
Do you throw things everywhere in the room? Do you break things, yell at someone, look for someone to fight with? How do you deal with all that?
Maybe, like me, you keep everything deep inside and show nobody the way you feel! God knows it does no good, right, I'm the proof! I never thought things would turn that way and become so bad! I mean as I started talking to nobody in here as nobody never cared anyway I chose a terrible way to cope with things. One day I took my scissors and cut myself! Now we're 6 years later and I'm addicted to that! I wish I could stop but can't! I have no other ways to deal with things and of course I keep it a secret so nobody around me knows! I don't do it for attention otherwise I would have let them see! I have to hide my scars! I do it because sadly I need it, always more, I almost died from it a few times and tried suicide too cause everything's too hard!

I'm sure I'm not the only 1. Sometimes, not to say most of the time, I'm sitting here looking at the walls, not feeling anything but that sadness and weird feeling like I don't belong here. Sometimes I feel like crying but no tears will come, rarely, sometimes I think it's like I'm dead, my body isn't mine, only my thoughts are and it's not positive thoughts. Sometimes it's like I'm not me but someone else, I can watch myself through the day like I'm not inside my body. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing things I have already done months or years ago!
Sometimes I find it hard to breathe and wonder what's real and what's not. Maybe the only thing that's real is that deep sadness and anger I've been keep inside for years, which never does any good I know and can admit it, I just have to look at what he brought me now! But yet I can confide in nobody. I just stay alone as much as I can and interact with no one, I'm shy and want to bother nobody! Why am I alive? Have you ever felt that way ?

As son with an ADHD BOY, 10 years old, diagnosed at 3. He has issues with his impulsivity and learning to read. I am the mean mom, as I make him do things, as my Ex Husband thinks he should play with him, without any type of education. I see that my son will see that Mom pushed him to be the best he can be, as he wants to work for the Navy as an Admiral!

He's been living off his accumulated salary, but I'm sure that's coming to an end soon. He was diagnosed with depression a few years ago, and is on medication, but not in therapy.

Every time I ask him if he has sent out resumes, he admits he hasn't sent out a single one. When I ask why, he says that he is too afraid to face his situation and the possibility of rejection from potential employers. I have talked with him for hours on end, trying to make suggestions, pleading with him to get help. And yet, he thinks it is up to him to just get his act together. Plus, he is uncomfortable talking about his "flaws" (his words, not mine).

All he does is sleep or play on the internet. If work needs to be done around the house, he takes forever to get around to it. He often doesn't leave the house for days. He's 35, and if this keeps up he'll have to move in with his Dad.

If he avoids everything he fears, including seeking help, what can possibly be done?

I don't remember taking them off and they are tight fitting so I know they didn't slip off! I can't remember the last time I had them on cause I didn't even know they were off. I never ever take them off! So I am wondering if anyone knows how to hypnotize there self into remembering something! I looked for 7 hours today for those rings and can't find them anywhere! Im hopeing that if theres a way I can hypnotize myself into remembering when I took it off or even remember where I put it! Someone help! Im going nuts looking for these rings!

Sometimes there is a lot of bashing that can go on in a chat room, so is it good or bad for a person's health?

if you need the effect of adderal immediately, (say, for an exam.. and you forgot to take it before) is snorting up actually dangerous? snorting just gets it into the bloodstream (via mucus membrane) quicker, as opposed to the lining of your digestive track... as long as you don't snort a lot (more than 30 mg maybe) could it still be dangerous?

I take Seroquel for sleeping and mood swings. However, I was wondering: can you become dependant on it? Little by little I've stopped taking it because it is making me so drowsy in the morning that I can't function at school. But as I've stopped taking it, I absolutely CAN'T sleep! I could honestly go a whole 24 hour day not sleeping because I didn't take the Seroquel, and it's kicking me in the butt!
