I wish I could tell you to not feel like a labrat  , pretty sure most of us feel that way. It is a lot of guess work.
Also, do your research before you take new meds, these meds can have serious side effects, always best to know what you could be getting into, whether you are comfortable taking them, and what to watch for.

She switched because I was originally on respirdone and lexapro, but I got a lot of muscle aches from the respirdone, so she switched that to trileptal two weeks ago, and she said if I was too manic with the lexapro to cut it in half.
I cut the lexapro in half because it made me so manic, I couldn't sit still, and I couldn't really focus enough to actually do anything either. About a week ago I started getting hallucinations, which I have never had before, but I don't know if it was rebound psychosis from the respirdone (which I was weaned off of) or if I was just super manic from taking the lexapro. So she added seroquel and klonopin. The klonopin I am supposed to take 0.5 mg once in the morning, then I can take a half pill later during the day on an as needed basis.
Monkey,
Thank you for reading my novel, especially when you didn't feel like it. I've had problems reading anything on the forums the past couple weeks because that takes a certain amount of focus that I just haven't had.
