Hello Folks,
I know i havent been responding like i used to so please dont think im not listening to your advice. Its just that now, things really changed.
I apprieate all advice, but something happened to day. I went to my doctor and was prescibed Vyvanse, but i have one question. If you have high blood pressure (which is doctumented) can you take high blood pressure meidcations with a stimulant medication?
help!

Sorry, my first post didnt make sense in the what it was stating.
But, i have to know if i have high blood pressure and apparently i do, through readings. What can i do? its so demeaning knowing my body could do this.

Get a blood pressure cuff so you can monitor yours. Then google med checker put in vyvanase and add name of a blood pressure med and see if they compatible. Love Phillipa

yes abilify is not helping you. this is time to get of it. glad you are.
and yes there is such thing as safe.
even a year ago i never would have believed it...but i am learning it. my T is making me learn it. i'm still hesitant...but im starting to believe.you keep you safe. you can't control life but you can control limbs. and down below you ARE doing that. asking for safe place inside safe place.
do you draw Jeroen? can you draw your paranoia? i used to but i could never look at the finished picture. i'd fold it up and put it in a sealed envelope and give it to my T.
if you want to do that you can too. seal it up and give it to someone that won't give it back to you. your pdoc or a friend.

I am also afraid of death -- but that's just the rules of life, whether you're an atheist or agnostic or not. But there are ways of making one more "functional" (I don't particularly like that name, but it refers to how one is capable of doing more in life and able to do things on one's own.
At some point, some reasonable risks have to be taken -- nobody should be asking ultimate unreasonable feats but the more one gets engaged in projects and confidence building, the less one's mental illness (I prefer biochemical imbalance) is the only focus.
And socialization is important too. I wish I had more of that, I do need it. I have some ways to go but finding that spark, that interests you can surprise you and is a key in treatment.
-- best wishes
