staring at walls again

They help in not reacting

But make you act disable or kinda mentally challenged

I needed a lot last month

Not so much this month

And the stuff I need, causes nodules in my thyroid, that can lead to another biopsy.

My psychiatrist doesn’t like me reducing this medication on my own. But gotta show him the ultrasounds I’ve collected for my thyroid since 2013. More and more nodules. I need a $200 weekly nurse to monitor me. But am settling for a peer support worker (listener) so I don’t vent to my housing worker every week who can’t handle stress.

They all work in the same building. So housing worker can get a non stress synopsis of what I told the peer support worker

Hi there. What medication that you take do you think causes thyroid nodules?

how private are these forums? Lithium does it, most antipsychotics, haldol, latuda , probably rexuti too. Have been getting ultrasounds for 20 years. You know when you’re scared where to get an operation if it gets serious?

You know when you really can’t control stuff. The big guys always win.

Please don’t 🦆 up our family’s lives - who ever did that.

I can’t even control that. Thanks for being a forum

but those are the drugs from my experience

It’s a give and take, latuda cost $160 a month that I get covered here. Be calm and levelled with the nodules

Or be erratic and cause harm without the drug. It’s a give and take.

Not what you're looking for?
