[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 586145, member: 455"] Buddy, she complains of head pain. I think sometimes it goes into a headache but not always. She also suddenly intolerant to noise almost anything that is extra or above a normal level. Overall, she seems "hypersensitive" to her whole environment now in general. I'm getting the random complaints of this or that bugging her (pains or something wrong) but no where near the level she was which was such hypochondria it was unreal. This is so minimal. Oh and MWM, I forgot to answer you, no she doesn't loose track of time that I can tell. That doesn't mean she doesn't though. She just hasn't reported such or demonstrate it. She herself started saying she felt like she had another person inside of her a few months ago, I think. I'm really bad on timing on this because so much goes on with her at times it's hard to keep track of specific timing but I DO know it was BEFORE the medication and before all this drastic changes or all this "new" stuff she's revealing. When she first revealed this it came out as " (insert alter name) introduced herself to a friend of mine at school" and then she proceeded to tell us all about this alter. Now it's a couple of weeks later and I asked her something about it and she tells me "SHE" gave alter the name. When I told the psychiatrist this and her worker, she denied she said that. She said "No, i told you that (insert alter name) told my friend her name". ~puzzled look on my face~ I know clearly what she told me about "giving" her the name and I can even tell you that she was sitting right here on our loveseat when she told me this. Not that this next piece has anything to do with the above but....the above but she went from stealing and hoarding food desperately for years to, when getting on prozac (again I state this) in a matter of a couple of weeks being on it to suddenly basically starving herself and literally NOT eating! I mean it got so serious that at the 3rd months appointment psychiatrist and I discussed that if it kept up we may have to pull her off the medication (even though it was helping her with the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)). I said I'd watch her carefully and see what goes on since she was not in jeapordy at that point of serious risks (she started out severely overweight at 172 when this came up she had lost 14 lbs).
