Saw my pdoc. He is putting me on Sodium Valproate, 400mg a day. This is supposed to work well with Lithium to kill mixed episodes. He also said it would be short term until I stabilise which made me happy as I hate being on so many meds. Also struggling to come off Ritalin and Clonazepam so doing it very slowly. As I am agitated, irritable, inpatient and my moods are all over the place he suggested IP but I declined as I want to try to manage at home. Too much to do. But if things worsen I can call and go IP at any time. It is good that I have a back-up plan.

Feeling rough today. I have a short fuse and was swearing at a driver who pulled up behind me while I was trying to reverse. I almost was going to beep my horn, or get out of the car but thankfully I still have some restraint. Now I am going to try and study and then, hopefully, go to a friends B'day party tonight. Just keeping my head above the water today. hopefully tomorrow things will be a bit better.
