No! Don't do it! No AD!

Take your time to try and adjust to other meds and dosages. First your body should adjust and then you can adjust the dosage(s).

It's like doing science: change only one variable at a time and control (for) the rest. Keep notes of objective markers, keep a strict routine.

A Chinese proverb I thought up quite recently: "Carrying a bucket of water, filled to the rim, without spilling takes only two hands and dexterity."

In other words, you will never succeed if meds/hands keep pulling that bucket/mind in different directions without fine adjustment.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
