I seem to feel OK in the mornings, but as the day goes on, I start feeling nauseous. I feel especially nauseous at about 6 to 9pm. I feel very uneasy. It may be anxiety.
I'm just wondering if there could be a physical cause for this? Or maybe I'm just anxious as my pdoc says.
I don't remember it being this bad in the past, not with all the nausea.
Maybe I'm dying.

Hope this helps--if only a little. Pay close attention to the part that says you can scare yourself to death......(((Deneb)))

You sound like me!!!
I'm sorry you're feeling like that. It sounds very uncomfortable & unsettling.
Do you think it is related to meds? Or blood sugar? Are you eating differently at all?
Keep us up-to-date on how it's going.
My tummy has been sort of crampy today. Maybe there's a virus going around?
luv, Kath
PS - the strike & transportation/snow situation where you live sounds awful. I hope it's soon over.

As for that pattern, what time do you take Risperdal? Could it be your anxiety ratchets up around the time that's wearing off? Is there anything else that's common to that time frame? Like being around your mother/sister?
Here's an idea:
Make a little calendar chart thing, keep it handy.
Pick a series of times throughout the day to check off your status on it. Rate your mood, your anxiety level, and the state of your stomach, along with a very brief description of what's going on at that time. Make sure you note times you take meds, too.
It might help to write down what you eat and when, too, in case you're eating something that triggers this. (This time of year, I suffer a lot of tummy aches -- because my local market carries the best apples, and I eat a couple a day. They're good, I won't stop eating them, but some days I eat so many they give me an unhappy tummy.)
After a week, take a look and see if you can see any patterns? Better yet, after two weeks, look for a pattern. (And if you look daily, you won't see anything, so don't even think about looking for anything until AT LEAST one week has passed.)
Can you see why something like this might be helpful for you?
And I hope your tummy troubles pass soon.

Oh wow, thanks Racer! I never thought it might be the Risperdal wearing off. I take it at night.
I saw my pdoc. She actually increased my Risperdal to 1mg. I guess the med really does help me because I don't want to puke anymore and I don't feel anxious.
A mood log sounds like a great idea. I should write down what is happening at the time. Maybe I can learn from this.
Today I actually opened my notes and studied a bit. I don't think I'll pass though, I'm very behind. It's still good to learn the material though. I'm thinking of auditing biochem next semester because I don't want to take the lab. I don't know if it's possible yet, but I will find out.

Wow Deneb - this most recent post sounds way more like 'you'.
So glad things are improving. You sound way more detached in looking at your whole school situation.
The mood chart sounds like a great idea.
hugs, Kath
