@Bunniekins

I do hope Mr Shaz follows through with appointments @Shaz51 and that the new med regimen is helpful.

me too @Former-Member

the new meds are the second generation of the meds he is on

the doctor said did you know the meds you were on are for SZ, Bipolar , MDD , do you know what you have , it is not SZ is it ??

mr shaz said nothing until we got outside , -- how does she know if i have or have not got SZ

soo he has gone from 5mg to 25mg

@Shaz51 Oh Shaz51 😞 xxxx

my super @Bunniekins , hope I have not upset you , hugs

hugs back to you my sister @outlander

@Shaz51 I just worry about you Shaz51. You have so many people that you have to care for when it is you that needs the caring .... I worry that you are okay.

@Shaz51 A lot of drugs are used for both BP and Sz, I would certainly be asking about Dx - a clear explanation regarding benefit vs risk (increase in side effects) should also have been given.

One of Mr Darcy's differential Dx is a controversial form of Sz (without the paranoia and other overt 'positive' symptoms) so will be interesting to see what current/new pdoc thinks.

hi my beautiful friend @Shaz51 , gentle hugs my friend, you are worn out my friend, im so sorry things are so worrying and stressful at the moment, you can't carry the burden on your own @Shaz51 , have you looked into in home care for your mum? i hope Mr Shaz is helping as much as he can, you both need to look after each other.

there is no shame in resting Shaz, no harm in recharging your batteries so you can be the best support you can be, when i was caring for my father as a full time carer, i was so emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted, but i went on reguardless because that is what you do for the ones you love, but there is only so much you cn give shaz, can family help with your mum, maybe 1 relative looks after her even for a day or two, just so you can get a break?

sitting with you my friend, listening.
