Have been having tremors from my antipsychotic med, so now im trying out a new Rx of propranolol which i guess is a beta blocker and seems pretty benign.

I probably could skip taking the propranolol because the tremors dont often bug me. Mostly its people noticing and bringing it up to me out of concern. The tremors are only a problem sometimes (its inconsistent) doing fine motor activities. Lol, you should see me trying to eat soup!

I could also try a smaller dose of olanzapine but I dont want to mess with a good thing--have been riding pretty stable for a while now and have already lowered the dosage once recently. Id rather have tremors than psychosis.

Until this last adjustment i have been prescribed 5 mg over the fda recommended max dose, so now im down to 20 mg. Anyways, I plan on giving this new med a shot.

I wish that my mom and I had been born 20 years later. Maybe 30 and I was still a baby.

Regardless of if it is a better or worse time in general, people have a much better understanding of what #tourettes is now, which we both have very badly, in a form that doesn't fit ignorant people's stereotype.

I didn't even know until 27. She never did.

She was misdiagnosed as #schizoaffective and so was I for a while. Everyone just thought we were crazy, and so did we.

I'm hungry but my brain won't let me eat. Mental illness is fun.

Well, if worse comes to worst and societal collapse does happen, I only hope there will be organized pharmaceutical relief. Otherwise, I am in a lot of trouble.
