Polarbear: I just got through spending 45 minutes on my bio, went to the chat room to see who was on. Came back and all the info I had typed had disappeared!!! GRRR!!!

My meds should appear in my signature, if I entered them correctly. I am as stable at present as I have been in the past. But I don't feel good.

I can go from extremely irritated to very happy in 2.0 seconds flat!! In one day, I go through a whole spectrum of emotions! I just don't know how to deal with them. I am currently having problems with wanting to go spend money that I don't have. There's something about acquiring THINGS that gives me a sense of pleasure. I don't understand it. But I just HAVE to buy stuff. It seems that I spend the majority of the day anxious, near panic attack level or aggitated with depression ongoing.

My pdoc just started me on Lamictal, 25mg every other day for 2 weeks. I see her again on the 15th to start the Lamictal every day and continue to up it from there. I'm having trouble telling myself to be patient as she slowly works me up to a therapeutic dose. I'm hoping that it will help bring the manic feelings down and the depressed feelings up. I have heard good things about Lamictal on PC. I also need to go ahead and get my doc to switch me from Xanax to Klonopin. I have heard that it will be a better, longer lasting treatment for my anxiety. I need to call him today!!

How are things going for you??? Sure hope all is well!! I am off to read your bio.
