I fit in yesterday with my hyperness, because everyone was hyper and excited about opening their gifts. Then after a few hours, I took a nose dive. I ended up remaining in bed for the rest of the day. I couldn't even get out of bed to say goodbye to my fiance's parents. I felt so bad, but they said that they understood. I'm still down. I've been trying different things to try to pick up my mood like singing and playing games with my fiance, but as soon as the singing or game is over, I am right back down in my hole! I'm trying to hold on until at least next Tuesday, because that is when I see my pdoc next. The current increase of lamictal to 150mgs isn't helping as of yet.
In a previous post, someone wondered why my lamictal was lowered in the first place...it's actually a long story, but they were trying me on depakote and it has an interaction with lamictal, so that is why they reduced me down to 100 mg. My doctor and I have been switching my medications since last July and I have been in and out of a major depression ever since. I even went through 5 sessons of ect within the last few months. I'm just getting a bit discouraged. There are only 6 anti-psychotics and 2 mood stablizers that I have not tried yet. Then I think I might be considered a treatment-resistant form of bipolar. I sure do hope that isn't the case.
