My meds have changed over the past few weeks. In the past few weeks I have been rapid cycling which is not normal. This may not be episodes of BP rapid cycling. Perhaps this is in response to events or thoughts that I overreact to in extreme ways over little things. My mood first shifts to moderate depression, then rebounds to mildly elevated. This happens allot recently. Sometimes I feel very sad and feel like crying. There are times I am just elevated for a short period of time, where I am euphoric and chatter allot. But this is more infrequent. These swings can happen in short periods of time. These moods always level out to baseline by the end of the day. My baseline now seems to be mildly depressed.
The last several weeks has seen an increase in Lamictal, from 200mg to 300mg, and Zyprexa, from 5mg to 10mg. I wonder if this new med combination does not work well with 60mg of Prozac? Or maybe it is related to an adjustment to meds that my brain needs to deal with? Either way, I think this may be med related. I need to give this a chance. I am in new ground with this being my first mood stabilizer that appears to be working, at least for the most part.
What do all of you think about this?
