I'm always mixed so I've been mixed for months, just manic more than depressed. Now I'll be more depressed than manic. It's pretty much been out of control/slightly under control by going extremely high on Seroquel and removing and then adding only a tiny bit of AD back. My AD is very stimulating and so getting enough and not getting stimulated is tricky. Hopefully she'll let me increase by another 1/6th dose to try to stop this from getting bad and hopefully the extra Seroquel will protect me. Right now it is just weird to not be so manic.

My psychiatrist and I have been in touch every couple of days via email or phone. I see her in just over a week. I probably could get in sooner but between my living 2.5 hours away and not really being able to drive safely in the mornings right now and her busy schedule it would be tough to find a time that works well and I'm comfortable with staying in touch this way. I just have to be sure to call her secretary and have her tell my psychiatrist to look at my email if I think it's a big deal and don't hear from her.
