I know you are right but this is hard. This is my shortest stay and the first time I left feeling nearly as bad as I went in. But that's because there were so many changes. My AD is a patch. Thanks to the ER mess and a closed pharmacy it wasn't changed for 60 hours instead of 24. Then the dr. was stopping it to start a different MAOI but I couldn't afford it so it went back on. So that alone is a lot. Then I went from Seroquel XR to regular Seroquel in the hospital and back to XR (part and part I'm breaking to immediate release) since discharge. And I went of loxapine faster than anyone wanted because of pharmacy miscommunications; I'd only had a tiny bit for 2 days so it made sense to just stop it and deal with the results of that. Plus my Seroquel dose was upped. And all of that happened in 3 days.

So it is no wonder I don't feel good. I was sick when I went in and all of that will help eventually but it is asking a lot of my body, which the dr was very honest about.

I just don't like feeling this way. I feel like I could go over the same edge I did when I waited 2 days longer than I should have to go to the ER. But I'm not and that's good. TOmorrow I see my therapist and that should help.

For now hopefully I will sleep. Which is messed up too. undoubtedly from all the chemical changes.
