Ok, so I was on risperidone for a little over a year. At the time I started - i felt like I needed it, and actually requested it. It had worked for me before and I had reached an all-time low. I felt that at any moment I would lose touch with reality - completely. After a few weeks I felt 'normal' again. And by normal I mean that I had a better grasp on ...

I'm new here. I just wanted to say hello to everyone!

For anyone who has experienced an allergic reaction to Wellbutrin-
I had to discontinue Wellbutrin at 200 mg 2x day, shortly after I began it because of a severe allergic reaction. Wheezing, swelling of the mouth and tongue etc. I am being treated, but detox takes a while.
A less than pleasant occurance at the same time has been the increased sensitivity of my penis, as well as minor swelling and an apparent rash.

Well I cut again today and it's mainly on my forearms and on my left upper arm (I'm right handed) Only one of them really needed a bandaid and so I put one on.

"I smile again"


I will be downcast when you leave me
which makes me don't smile
But when I see your smiles,

I wonder where your smiles are from,
Oh, smiles are like magical souls
I cannot stop thinking of your smiles
which would never put me down..
Yeah, ...

I am writing this seeking some advise on this fork in the road that I am at during this time in my life. I will try to simplify as to not make this too long. I have been with my husband we will call him for 12 years. We have a 3 year old daughter. He is currently in prison, because all the bad choices he has made caught up with him. Not to mention ...

Lately I have been noticing that people with psychology degrees keep diagnosing people with BPD a lot. I'm not a psychologist, but my IQ is 135 and I have read a lot about psychology and I think I have a good ability to analyze things. I think Tess from the TV show Starting Over has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Some guy with a psychology degree said she had BPD. There's another person who I think has ...
