Been about a month that I've started on Trileptal, first at 150 then doubled up to 300 about 2 weeks ago. I have read studies that say the therapeutic dose is closer to 900mg+, but I have already felt a benefit from it, compared to the Wellbutrin I was on previously (bleh).

I got home from work yesterday with a to-do list of house chores I wanted to get done before my lady got home from physical therapy, including cleaning the kitchen, doing all the dishes, starting laundry, taking all the trash in the house out, taking recycles out, cleaning the toilets, and cleaning the catboxes. I worked myself up in to a sweat and kind of overheated myself by the end of it, secretly disappointed that I wasn't able to finish the dishes before she got home. Even though it didn't really matter, I was just setting ridiculous expectations for myself haha.

I didn't think too much of it until it was bedtime, after reading a bit in my book and deciding to "go to sleep", I realized I couldn't. I was wide awake, and when my alarms went off in the morning, I wasn't actually sure if I had slept or not! I don't remember that 'passing out' feeling or dreaming anything, and I felt groggy and pissed off. I am fine now that I've had adderall and coffee, so maybe I did sleep. It's anyone's guess.

I am okay if my hypomanic comes out in the form of productive tasks like cleaning, but at the same time it worries me? I don't feel any of the hypo/hypersexual feelings that I was dealing with before Trileptal, but just the fact that I was so amped up has me questioning and second guessing myself.

How was your night??
