It's coming up to two weeks of starting this new medication and nothing has changed apart from emotions have gotten extremely higher and I seem to cry at everything, more than I usually do. It doesn't knock me out, which is why I'm writing this at 1o'clock in the morning.
With my old medication (Quetiapine 50mg at night), I took it at night at about 10:30 and be asleep by 11:30. My new medication doesn't seem to be doing anything, so I'm booking an appointment with my doctor about it and seeing if he can up the dosage to 7.5mg (2.5mg in the morning then the 5mg at night).
My psychologist decided to send me a letter telling me all of the dialog of each appointment. I ended up sending a photo of the letter in to my family group chat and my sister decides to call me out on my hallucinations saying that I'm lying about it. Honestly I would rather lie about it than experience it because it's is so scary.
I will share the dialog in here because I think it'll be useful for other people if they can relate to what it says and what I'm experiencing too.
That's all now, I'm going to be booking an appointment on Monday for Thursday so I can get a review done and hopefully up my dosage to 7.5 as promised by my psychiatrist.
I'm also getting a fridge freezer for my room and saving up for my online childcare course.
I've been banned from working, I phone the job centre saying that I would like to do this course, but they can't help me with any funds, so gonna take 3 months to save up for it, but the fact that they can't help me since they were the ones that signed me off for 2 years now. Review won't be until December/January but I hope they give me one more chance to just get back on the road to recovery then I can go full time with childcare jobs.
Hope you're all okay.
Sending kisses and hugs to you all.
