We need Side-Effect Emoticons
 

Someone needs to come up with side-effect emoticons. What do you think.

How would these look? :eek:

Anxiety
Diareah
Depressed
Suicidal
Lack of appetite
Weight Gain
Dry Mouth
Agitation
Dizziness
Acne
Constipation
Vomiting
Vision problems
Running Nose
Constant Urination

Curly,
That is a good list. One could probably add to it. My brain is not thinking clearly today. Can we add Brain Fog??!!
Hello Brain Fog http://bestsmileys.com/waving/4.gif Brain fog would be a picture somehow of a cloud: http://bestsmileys.com/weather/5.gif . . . . minus the rain. Rain would work sometimes.

Or maybe more like the cloud of dirt that foillows Pig Pen:

Also sleep deprivation. . . . not sure how that one would look. Perhaps that is about the bipolar and not exactly about the meds.

How can one tell the difference between meds and side effects?

Mari,

I'm not sure what Eide-Effects are :eek:

There are plenty more side effects, I got that list mostly from seroquel.

And yes, there seems to be emoticons for a lot of these side effects already. I just saw vomit :vomit:

Whoops. That was a typo probably.

M

Eide-effects are the best... you made my day... that's how I know :)

:BeamUp:Eide is a municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is part of the region of Nordmøre. It is located on the Romsdal peninsula, along the Kornstadfjord and the Kvernesfjord. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Eide. Other villages include Vevang and Visnes.

The town is known for its traditional and modern limestone (marble) quarries and related crafts industry. The Atlanterhavsveien coastal road connects Eide to neighboring Averøy. The municipal border lies at the Storseisundet Bridge on the Atlanterhavsveien road.

I guess I was subconsciously thinking of Norway :BeamUp:

There's a vomit 2 too! :vomit2:

I don't know much about these things, except that they're fun. Can we find them off-site somewhere & import them? Or are we limited to the Smilies listed here?

I love the list of side effects. I just started on Abilify today & am trying to work my way through all the lists of warnings, precautions, side effects, etc, & wondering what determines whether something goes in column A or column B or column C....

oh, now I'm hungry for egg Foo Yung.

Hahahaha, this topic definetely rocks !

We can import them... just paste the image url... :)

What about these ones ??

These are terrific! So we import the URL for the emoticon, right? Gotta figure a way to organize all this. Ought to be an easier/quicker way to import...

Abilify has been approved as an add on for depression when an anti depressant won't work by itself...at least that is what I remember of it....how are you feeling with it?

Bizi, is that a side effect? :eek:

How are you feeling with it?
lol

Curely ia having fun while having bipolar. That's a good spirit!

Yep sweetie, at this point I just know importing the URL works.... Might be an easier way but I dont know it.... :rolleyes:

:rotflmao:!!!!!!!!!
 

Hard to figure Abilify so far.
 

I think maybe there's been an increase in gastric upset. Hard to tell. We've been having huge thunderhead storms rolling through the area so that could be the culprit. But otherwise, I've noticed nothing.

Of course it hasn't had time to kick in. Couple wks, if I'm lucky.

Cymbalta is an interesting drug. 60mg is the max dose. More than that apparently has no benefit, just gets metabolized right out of the system. So Abilify picks up where it drops off.

Thanks you soooooo much for asking! Hard to believe curlydawg is sedated at all, isn't it. Heaven help us all if he should ever become fully aware & start noticing everything. He's sharp enough as it is :D :circlelove: & maybe too much!

Ha-ha, well, I'm not really sedated anymore. A few days ago I went from 100mg of seroquel a night to 50mg, and I really think it's better. I haven't been sleepy at all at work:D (no more 15 minute naps in my secret hideout:o ) Mdoc said in 3 months we'll probably take away the 50mg and just leave the lithium.

I like those ALOT!
Especially this one: http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/e...cons/hypno.gif

I feel like that alot lately..............

Hahahahaha, me too honey !!! me too !!!

My eyes usually look as if I were in heroin !!! :p

OK JJ, how do you get these, and how can we save them to a place that everyone on the forum can use them?;)

you could request a stickied thread at the top with the emotiocons url,.

Hey Bizi, I may be the only one here, but I'm gonna need more direction. If you have the url, then what? Do you copy and paste the url in your message right after the word it should follow?

Testing, testing
 

http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/e...cons/hypno.gif

Okay, I just copied & pasted the emoticon that Jacquie picked out. When I pasted, the URL popped up. Now I'll preview...

Nope still got only the URL.

Me too curlydog. More directions please. Dang, thought it'd be easier!

Do you see that little landscape icon above the white text box where we type the posts ??

There you have to paste the image URL :)

Try it...

http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/e...cons/hypno.gif

Or, you can also add [IMG] before the URL and [/IMG] after the URL :)

I pasted all of them that way...

Where did the Smilies (& the More....) come from?
 

I wonder whether the existing list can be expanded?

Oh yeah, that would be great...

and let me share I need one of this NOW: http://i54.tinypic.com/fly8wk.gif

Just saying....

Jude, are they working for you now ???

testing...testing
 

Mucho mercy, Majo! I'll keep trying. Just love this on-the-job training!

http://bestsmileys.com/waving/4.gif Hey, look at that, will you? IT WORKED!

Thanks, Super-Teach!

More to come...

Oh, wow, takes me back!
 

I remember when computer word programs were just coming out in the 1970s& 1980s, & we were trying to get them to add all the scientific symbols! Everyone was contributing theirs own designs. What a time.

Thanks so much. Yeah, I can do this. But I'm still wondering about expanding the base list. That would be easiest I think. Well, for me <hee-hee>.

Hhhmmm.... maybe if we ask DocJohn ?? or any of the moderators ??

Doc I know nothing of, is he computer hands on here? How about the computer forum? I nominate curlydawg. Do I hear a 2nd?

Ok, now I'm getting very anxious :eek:

But seriously, I just realized I need additional help. Where do you find the url's?

If I get pointed to a url I think I can follow BlueMajo's wonderful directions. She just did not realize how loco I really is :winky:

Off to see the Wizard....
 

Don't get anxious, (& not meaning anything bossy--need a finger shaking in face with black diagonal line thru it) I promise you we're in this together. I'm totally dumb, but I'm convinced that with BlueMajo as our Chief Consultant (& me as Bottle Washer) we can do this!

Here's a couple websites:
http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/
http://bestsmileys.com/

it's not easy finding free ones. I had no idea what $$ there was in this apparently simple idea. $:eek:$

I'm sleepy http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...ticons/bed.gif


Hey it works. Now we just need a place to save them all, with their names. I vote for Jude in getting that all arranged. Anyone wanna join me in that superiority dance thingee http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...ance%20guy.gif

By the way, BlueMayo, are you going to be a mother?

Three sights of two hands clapping ...
 

http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...ng%20hands.gif Simple applause

http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...g%20hands2.gif Cheering-type clapping

http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/a...s/clapping.gif Shouting, clapping

Two hands here applaud you!
 

Oh you do, do you?! :eek::D:Bang-Head: :rolleyes:. Okay! Until commitment, that is. Promise to do my best, all the rest, BlahBlahBlah.
