What if your taking Strattera and after it wears off you want to commit suicide what should you do?

Speak to your doctor immediately about changing the dosage, the timing, or switching to a more effective medication. DO NOT WAIT! Different people react differently to different medications. What works for one may not work for another. There is one that is right for you, and you need to insist that your doctor work at finding it with you.

HOWEVER: Keep in mind that it sometimes takes weeks for a psych medication to become effective. If you are truly suicidal, talk to the doctor now. If you are exaggerating and have been taking Strattera for only a short time, it might be prudent to discuss it but to wait a bit before looking at a change.

What illnesses cause split personalitys?

Well there is multiple personality disorder, which is when the person has multiple personalities obviously. They go into what they call their alters, so they have different personalities which they name. They actually seem like a different person, their is proof that when one is in their alter, they can have different hand writing and even different eye vision then in their original self.

But there is also schizophrenia which is more like being delusional and far from reality, they don't have split personalities, they just go into a different world basically. Since people are not born with these disorders, researchers suspect that these are triggered by a traumatic event. For example a death of their child or sometimes when one is severely abused. I'm not saying anyone whose child has died or have been abused is going to get a mental disorder.

So lets say someone was abused repeatedly for a long time, their brain can basically create another person to take the pain of their abuse and this is multiple personality disorder pretty much.

So the illness would be multiple personality disorder and the symptoms would be the split personalities.

How do you people with Multiple Personality disorder act?

According to WebMD, "people with dissociative disorders may experience any of the following symptoms:"

  • depression
  • mood swings
  • suicidal tendencies
  • sleep disorders such as insomnia, night terrors and sleep walking
  • anxiety, panic attacks and phobias
  • alcohol and drug abuse
  • compulsions and rituals
  • psychotic-like symptoms, such as auditory and visual hallucinations
  • eating disorders
  • headache
  • amnesia
  • time loss
  • trances
  • "out of body experiences"

A person with multiple personalities used to be diagnosed as being schizophrenic. However, they changed the name of the diagnosis to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) since there are some schizophrenics who actually do not have split personalities. DID is basically when the person becomes fragmented and their personalities become separate entities, fighting for control over one another. When another personality takes over, it is said that some describe it as "being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice." Hope this information helps. :)

Can you work in a daycare with Bipolar disorder?

That is an issue that you should discuss with your mental health professional. On the face of it, it would seem a very bad idea. Daycare workers need to be able to handle all sorts of frustrating issues, day after day, and be kind and patient while doing it. Folks who are bipolar often have difficulty with precisely those things. Question: have you been diagnosed as bipolar by a mental health professional, or just your family physician? If you have not seen a professional, you probably ought to do so. There may be treatment options that you are missing. Since you speak of daycare, I'm inferring that there might be money problems. Contact your local mental health association for options.

PS: Bipolar disorder cannot be accurately diagnosed by laymen. There are too many other things, like the effects of alcohol and drugs (legal and otherwise), that can confuse the issue.

Really really sad love story about teenagers and someone have to die?

A girl and guy were speeding over 100mph on a motorcycle. Girl:Slow down, I'm scared. Guy:No, this is fun. Girl:No it's not, please, it's so scary. Guy: Then tell me you love me. Girl:I love you, slow down. Guy:Now give me a big hug *She gave him a big hug* Guy:Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself, It's really bothering me. The next day in the newspaper, a motorcycle crashed into a building due to brake failure. Two people were in the crash, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road the guy realized that the brakes weren't working, but he didn't want the girl to know. Instead, he had her hug him and tell him she loves him one last time. Then he had her put his helmet on so that she would live, even if it meant that he would die.

Can taking seroquel for bipolar mania and then later adding risperdol cause depression?

They can certainly make you feel sluggish and tired if taken together. I am assuming you are under a doctor's care - usually I see one drug or the other, but not both together. The number one side effect of both medicines is sedation or sleepiness.

Of course, there is always the possibility that you're just having a normal depressive cycle, and that it has nothing to do with anything going on in your life.

How is it that a verbally abused threatened husband is always right when dealing with a 44-year-old wife with borderline personality disorder?

Hi Ana- Welcome to the world of BPD. I can't answer for you, but i can offer advice. When my husband and i would fight, if the police had to show up or the neighbors had to break it up, he always answered the same way. "Don't believe her, she'll tell you what you want to hear, not the truth!" thus, nobody beieved me. and it sucked. somehow you need to let your neighbors know what BPD is, and help them understand when you need help. I actually had code words that i would yell, and that's how my neighbors knew something serious was going down. So- i hope this helps, and i will pray for you.
