A higher Anti psychotic may help with anxiety too.
I have SzA and my husband has BP. So my son has mood disorder nos.

I see my Pdoc again in two weeks I believe (he just rescheduled on me), but I think I brought it up with him before, but I think dismissed it as lack of sleep and drinking...which he advised me not to drink -period-. Since then it seems to be happening more and more often.
And that's another thing...I got taken off of my anti-psychotic all together awhile ago, I can't remember why, but I think it was a way to just reduce what they thought was ineffective? Didn't even make that relation back then....damn.
Yeah, definitely need to have a good chat with him. I feel a bit dumb now for not making that connection, but good to know that it's not just me and that I could indeed be stable with these things going on. Thank you!
It was a bit of a concerning feeling, because usually my anxiety goes crazy as my relapse warning, but now I am feeling just fine, but with the night crap.
