Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
@Spookytookims well I spoke to my doctor about it and he said it takes 3 months to saturate the brain and 3 months to leave it. So I can go off the medication in cycles. He could have just told me that rather than me having to create a database for it but doctors tell you nothing I've found. ![]()
Conversations are never a miss in my opinion. I'll function find for one more day. Currently writing a website proposal. What are you upto tomorrow?

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
wow that's interesting... so he knew this when you presented him with your data? So how much do they know that they don't tell us? Makes one wonder that's for sure. That's where real data comes in over anecdotal observation. They can dismiss the latter so much easier. @Gilgamesh
Tomorrow... just surviving really, Though I seem to be getting better at that so going to have to add more soon 🙂

@Spookytookims Survival is key. I'm not really sure about the doctor... maybe he didn't think of going off it in a systematic way like that... but know I get a good few months.
Antipsychotics are like trying to see clearly in sea water.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
yes.. I was put on one briefly once @Gilgamesh... think spitting it out on the sly in hospital actualy helped me come back to 'reality', either that or my will to spit it out snapped me back.. I'm not sure which... but they made me feel like my brain was operating in thick pea soup and I just couldn't think anywhere near my usual data collecting type manner. I flatly refused to take any more after I was released from hospital. But then I was diagnosed with PTSD so my sitation is different than a lot of people's.

@Spookytookims yes they aren't fun... but after two decades of hallucinating I've seen enough so I take them willingly. They have limited effect on me anyway. You can get use to anything I've found.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
yes I can certainly understand that @Gilgamesh and were my situation different I certainly don't rule out taking them. Just in my case I had a more straight foward choice, were it not so I'd probably make a different one.

@Spookytookims They are giving antipsychotics to everyone now. Crazy. Anorexics, anxious people, people coming down off drugs. Its the cureall apparently.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
exactly @Gilgamesh.. and I asked my psychiatrist what was wrong with me... like why did I have what was called a psychotic break... and even he couldn't and can't explain it. Yet they are happy to try to make me take pills for it, telling me they will do me good. Well if they don't know what happened how the heck do they somehow know what will do me good and what won't? I'd call that operating from a false or faulty premise at least.

okies @Gilgamesh I am going to try to get some snoozing. I thank you for your company. I wish you all the best on your med cycling, it would be wonderful if that works out for you and you can safely have a break from them. I hope to catch you around again soonish. Take care and good luck with your deepening datamining, I hope you get some good trends from your new improved revamps. 🙂
Spooky *waves*
