You're keeping a Mood Journal, right? If the hydroxyzine really got you from the fog to hypomania & you can stay there for awhile without going forward into a crash, you may be close to finding your cocktail.
It couldn't happen to a more deserving woman currently writing tiny chunks of a sub-chapter of a dissertation who's not crying. Honest.   |
I think the hydroxyzine, yesterday afternoon, was what made me groggy. That's the second day in a row I woke up feeling fuzzy-headed, after two days of taking the hydroxyzine in the PM, and that had really been noticeably better since I started the Lamictal.
But I took the Lamictal this morning, and I think the increase in dose from 50mg to 75mg is what set me off.
I'm keeping a mood journal (and chart) so definitely taking notes on what changes from day to day. I took my meds around 8 AM and first noticed I was perking up in mood around 9:30. I noticed this happened when I first started the Lamictal, too - had about 3 days of really nice hypomania except the distractability was a little out of control, so I didn't get much done. This time, I'm
prepared!
