My PRNs have gotten me some sleep when I've not been able to get there myself. That's about it, mostly because I'm saving everything for night. I asked about valium since it's no longer prescribed for me but didn't hear back. This is one of my pdoc's worst weeks of the year with the non-patient care stuff. But I clearly need more than valium anyway. The clozaril dose should have kicked in after about 4 days.

We made a mistake. I have had a tendency to get manic around June but didn't last year on clozaril and have been pretty stable since. So we waited until near the end of the month to cut it (and when it seemed pretty clear my dose was probably too high because I was over-stabilzied if anything) and my body kicked back.

I doubt we'll ever do another June/July reduction now. Bad idea. Oh well, this had to happen eventually.
