> I like it when the meds talk. All those little pills and capsules yammering away. They get up in the middle of the night and party, I swear.
>No kidding. I take 3 different meds at bedtime. It's like a party in my haed I wasn't invited to..
> Because a drug is called an "antipsychotic" doesn't mean it's just for psychosis. ADs are used for chronic pain, for example, and some afffect anxiety. I take the AP Risperdal because it makes me less irritable.

> Where is the dividing line between "psychotic" and "not psychotic"?
>I think true psychosis is when your perception of reality differs from others. For instance, if the trix rabbit is actually trying to steal your breakfast, it's time for help :) I know why I have to take AP's, but I have to constantly remind myself as to why.
> Today I asked my pdoc why she was less than whole-hearted about ADs. I can't remember what she answered. Argh!

> I've been feeling better at times. Sometimes I can even stop myself from speeding into a frenzy of dysfunctional thinking.Good for you! Still working on that one.
