I'm (40F) currently on a road trip with my daughter (9F). We arrived at a random hotel last night about 9 pm and shortly after started getting ready for bed. My daughter has ADHD and takes Vyvanse. Well, somehow when I went to take my nighttime med I accidentally grabbed her 20mg Vyvanse as opposed
Hi Reddit, I realize this subreddit isn't "a substitute for real legal or medical help", but I don't know what else to do. Since the week before Christmas, 2010 I have had a harrowing itch all over my entire body. Not just "I'm itchy" but the kind of itch where I've considered going to the hospita

The engine never falls on Donnie’s house, he never spends time with Gretchen Ross, he never burns down Jim Cunninghams house. The story of the plot is real only in his mind. He experiences delusions of grandeur, persecutory delusions, and referential delusions, as well as audio-visual hallucination
First and foremost, I like this movie a lot, easily an 8/10 for me. To me it's an interesting mesh of occult/cult horror present in *Hereditary* and *The Void* (Aaron Poole also stars in this film) and an investigation aspect found in films like *A Cure For Wellness* (also a long film). I feel I can
I thought I'd share my experience in case it could be helpful to anyone else. I've had migraines for over 20 years. They were manageable (avg. 6 migraines/month) until about a year and a half ago, when they became progressively more frequent. I tried acupuncture and changes to my diet, to no avai
Take 10mg doxepin for sleep + 100mg twice per day tramadol for an acute injury. Then because you are feeling weirdly sad, throw in some st john's wort because your relative swears by it. Then you start feeling even more sad and can't sleep so add 50mg of benadryl. I had taken each of these separatel
Does anyone have a compounding recipe for Doxepin 0.5% mouth rinse? I believe you have to include polysorbate 80 and a suspending agent. Please help?

Catatonia isn’t just “not moving” — it’s a life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndrome that can look wildly different depending on the person. Some people freeze up. Others become agitated. Some collapse into seizures. I’ve lived through both extremes — and I’m sharing this to raise awareness for any
Every person I know who has bp and people I see online all have similar experiences with going cold turkey and being on and off their meds. I don't know why I personally struggle, I take my meds for months and then one day just stop, and yeah, it makes me feel like shit. Even right now I am in a low
I know you guys are working really hard, and it's been a shitty month for all of us, but it feels like you forgot about all of your effects except for the side ones. Like the ones where you maybe stop me from writing a novel for 35 hours straight and getting fired, or maybe throw me a rope when I si
My husband recently went to the psych ward and was diagnosed with unidentified psychotic disorder and catatonia. He was in the hospital a total of 46 days. He thinks the hospital was divine intervention and he taught the psychiatrist all the ideas on how to contain him and now they practice his idea
My psychiatrist just prescribed me Lamotrigine, He started me at a low dose 25mg before bed. I've never taken this medicine before and I don't know what to expect. How long will it take for me to feel better after taking it? What are the side effects? Currently I'm taking Lithium 200mg ×2 Lorazepa
Since when lorazepam kills delusions? I don't know what to google or what this means. If it's not dopamine, then it's not psychiatric? Could be neurological? I sure as hell have been having neurological symptoms, like my head (painlessly, so not dystonia) twisting to the right, memory loss, weird sm

I went through an active psychotic episode that lasted for about two years, which eventually led to an inpatient stay in a closed psychiatric ward. That happened after a suicide attempt — I had taken my father’s gun and inte
