A few days ago, a week ago.. I don't remember but I posted here about having been stuck in a mixed episode for awhile. It was pure misery.

However, I'm feeling so much better after almost a week of med changes made by my pdoc. Getting off a SSRI was one of the best things that happened and lowering my dose of Vyvanse a little bit - both of those after a few days made a big difference. I'm still having trouble sleeping but no more racing brain. Depression is better. No more wired but tired and up and down all at the same time.

My point is that I was wishing I had a quick way out and contemplated many things - even though I was stuck in a mixed state, my doctor did bring me out of it as I questioned his actions. He did know what to do when I thought he didn't and things are much better. If you are suffering, hang on because things DO get better.
