There’s a pretty good chance that both Flick and I will make it out there this Friday. 🎉

Let's say Saturday, November 15th. Who's actually down to head out for the night?

I'm always down for a night out, but I don't bother hitting the bars in NYC on weekends since I never have a way to get home in the morning.🤣

I was thinking about dropping by, but since Ghost is going to be there, I think I'll pass. 😁 🤣

I found the movie absolutely hilarious; I couldn't stop laughing :klap:

As long as it isn't a Sunday, 😬

Me and Anna are basically pros at blowing through $133 in under five hours without even realizing where the money went. 😁

No matter how much cash I bring to NYC, my wallet is always bone dry by the time I get home. 😬

That's just not true. 🙂

I’d love to make it, but the timing just isn't working out. I'm heading to Coachella tomorrow evening, so let's aim for another time instead.😍

Eric Mitchell55 said:If you’re actually going, I might just have to tag along. 😳
I just need to scrape some cash together for a ticket first. ☕

hiddenwalker30, are you down? Or maybe Medo or Altec?

I can't really join in—I'm feeling pretty terrible and stuck on antibiotics right now😢
but Alex, I know you'll have a blast if you get to meet Gerald Torres2😍

Michelle Evans said:I also got the impression you aren't talking about psychotherapy or the therapist itself. 🙂

So, what actually happens during those 30 minutes, and what do you mean by "guidance"...

Most of the time, I just talk about everything that’s been weighing on me since my last session, while she stays almost entirely silent—offering nothing more than an occasional "hmm" or "mm-hmm." 🙄

I go there expecting her to help me uncover the root of my issues and why these fears exist in the first place, rather than being sent home just because I mention I'm having a decent day. One session even ended after a mere 15 minutes. 🙄

Eric Gray2 said:Look, there’s a massive distinction between seeing a psychotherapist for actual treatment and just going to a specialist for a routine checkup—they aren't even in the same ballpark. One is about deep, transformative work, while the other is just a standard clinical assessment.

I realize, but I am specifically referring to psychotherapy.🙂

I expect my psychiatrist to provide some actual direction, yet my doctor certainly isn't doing that. We sit there for thirty minutes, both of us just counting down the seconds until she can finally close the file on my case and I can walk out of her office.🙄

Kenneth Scott41 said:No, please, just stay away from Zeldox!! Honestly, after taking it, you're basically useless within half an hour because your eyes start drooping and you just drift off. In my experience, Zeldox is like being hit with a bag of concrete.

Oh, wonderful. 🙂 Now I’m left wondering what on earth I’m supposed to do next. 😁

Anthony Lopez8 said:Why not suggest that you ask your doctor about trying Zeldox first? It has a proven track record of not causing weight gain, and if it happens to sit well with you, the effects are remarkably similar to Zyprexa.
Perhaps you could explore some of the other antipsychotics she considers to be viable alternatives? While most of them tend to cause weight gain, the impact is generally much less significant than what one experiences with Zyprexa. 😉

Thanks so much, 😍
I'll make sure to jot down the name of the medication so I can mention it to her. 🙂

Anthony Lopez8 said:If that’s the case, there really isn't any reason to worry.

Both Vistaril and Oleanz contain the exact same active ingredient—olanzapine. If you haven't struggled with weight gain up until this point, why would you suddenly start now?😁

But I've only been on these pills for a month :P Is that even enough time for the weight to kick in?🙂

Anthony Lopez8 said:If I were in your shoes, I would certainly explore other antipsychotics before settling on Zyprexa, though obviously, that should only happen after a serious discussion with your doctor.
She really does cause significant weight gain. It doesn't happen to everyone, but for the vast majority? It’s a very real issue.

I've been taking Vistaril up until now, and then suddenly my doctor switched me over to Oleanz.

Matthew White4 said:Look, you can always check the fine print on the pharmacy printout, but honestly, everyone reacts to meds differently. Don't let the anxiety get to you about starting them—they were prescribed for a reason, so just take it one step at a time...

I've read them, sure, but isn't the fear of weight gain just as real?😢

My psychiatrist just put me on a regimen of half a Zyprexa pill daily along with some Diazepam. Since I’m starting this today, I was wondering if anyone here has firsthand experience with these? Any particular side effects I should be looking out for?
