I've had, I guess I'd say, around a month and a half of stability now. My stability goes beyond just "stable" and into productivity and normalacy. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I was having trouble with my meds, but am now taking Lamictal only. Since stopping my meds and then restarting the Lamictal, my energy level has rapidly increased. I went from laying on the couch about 20 hours a day and sleeping sometimes 15 - 16 hours a day to laying on the couch limited hours a day and sleeping usually 8 - 9 hours a day. I have slowly started going through each room of my house and getting it back to normal and organized, something it hasn't been for about 3 years.

My old sleeping habits (the ones I ALWAYS had, not just manic) of sleeping/waking all night long and sometimes waking at 4 or 5 AM (going to bed at 9 or 10 PM still) have returned. This I will certainly mention to my pdoc today. I have a feeling he will want me back on the Klonapin. My anxiety is still heighted often but this is something I have always dealt with consistently.

One thing I have noticed about my stability is that I come here less often. Or, I will come here, look at the posts, and read nothing. I don't know why and that makes me sad. I love this community and I love all of you. I have felt a smidgen of insecurity about posting which may contribute, but overall, it just seems my PC time is limited to just getting on, reviewing, and logging off. I have also spent less time on social media and ebay. This is the only site that saddens me though. Anyway, it is a blessing to be feeling well! Love to you all! Sarah
