So sorry @cheeky I feel you very well.

We already know that this is a non-linear process so it hits when it hits, so very hard to bear indeed and the feeling of regression although feels real it's not, in reality you keep moving forward and learning through the difficulty.

Hang in there, you are brave and doing great!

bright and beautiful window like you had in Korea will undoubtedly come, it is just hard to believe it when it is dark.

So very true. Your words have given me comfort and it helps to be reminded .

Thanks for coming over and offering your support 🌸

Yesterday was a tough one for me too....then I thought... everybody no matter who, is dealing with something. This is just our something. I find what helps me is just trying to alleviate the stress by telling myself, my most important job is to heal... don't pressure yourself with anything if at all possible.

❤️🙏

@LostinCanada your right . I have to stop feeling guilty fir the things I can't do .

I would love some help .

I feel like I'm not doing my preparation correctly when I'm making my DIY liquid Paxil and Seroquel at home.. I am currently putting my tablet into water and letting it dissolve for about an hour, then Iusing a syringe to take up what I need to take and then I throw out what's left out in the cup.

1) I feel it doesn'tdissolve properly

2) is it better to syringe up what I don't want and drink the rest , so the particles I consume.

3) should I just get a compounding pharmacy to make up a proper solution and save the hassle of doing it myself.

Any tips appreciated xx

Hi @cheeky no idea honestly about a liquid process but I'm wondering since I'll get to this stage myself, wouldn't putting a precise amount of powder in a capsule and preparing it in advance for a few days be an option too?

Likely what I'll do at the lower doses.

I saw you wrote that you're doing well today, that's wonderful, very glad for you, may it last long as possible 🙏

I could do that since I'm holding but when I do a daily micro taper it will be more difficult to do . I really want to get a precise amount . I really hate this process ☺️ but what can we do right

Ah, okay, got you, well section 3 sounds ideal if it's convenient for your pocket, that's what I would do anyway, the mind is already at a quarter of its capacity and adding the calculations and concentration to that, why rack the brain even more (;

Couple of thoughts.

I’d crush the tablet first if you aren’t doing so.

A lot of what you see on the bottom is fillers not drug.

Make sure you stir shake well before pulling your dose. Perhaps a lid on the container so you can do this more throughly.

If you do the same thing each day you’ll be getting a consistent dose/result regardless of technique.

I think you might be more in your head over all this, than anything. Xxxx

Shave off the coating and then continue with the desired dosage.

I think that when you haven't been the best for a while your trying to find out why but mayby I was due for this wave to get some healing done ( I really hope so)

I agree. I think this is common Cheeky. It doesn’t hurt to check. Waves are awful, I know. Can’t see the light when you’re in them. You’ll come out of it.

Wow I never saw that interesting .

Can I ask you a question if your brain is up for it? 😞

I spoke to a really nice pharmacist who says he can make me a compounded liquid at a really good price. Do you know what I would get my doctor to write on the script? I'm a bit confused, what ratio would it be?

This will be one more change that can set you back.

My personal experience with compounding pharmacies has not been good, I am not the only one.

They will simply grind the pill and add it to a suspension compound like Oraplus. Accuracy will depend on how accurate they measure the liquid and the accuracy of your syringe/pipette.

I would ask specifically how he would make it. What suspension he would use and how he measures the suspension...I don't believe his measurement will be more accurate than yours too be honest.

I think the pharmacist should be the one to know what to ask for as well as the best ratio.

❤️🙏

@cheeky Hi just checking in to see how you are 🙏

Hi Cheeky, I have been thinking of you. How are you going?

Okay , I don't want any more troubles

Okay, another update

It's been six months since I've held my dose after stuffing up my medication and I've had a couple of weeks where I feel good than a week where I feel bad and it's all very up-and-down but I just don't feel like I'm gonna get stable so I've decided I want to do a 2% micro daily taper cut and and just see how I go. I spoken to one of the coaches and she said sometimes people never really get 100% stable and I feel that could be me so I just want to test the waters with the 2%..

I understand, sometimes we just need to feel we are doing something. Good luck Cheeky! Just listen to your body, it will tell you. Perhaps make the first couple of 1/30 drops and see how you are, pause after a week, feel your way into it.

Hi Cheeky,

Isn't it awful what these meds are like. We have to be so careful even making a tiny 2% drop.

I wish you all the best with it. Let us know how you go.

I will be thinking of you and praying for you.
