Well I changed my signature after talking with my pdoc yesterday. He was confident that I have BP 1 rather than schizoaffective. The reason he gave is that I mostly talk about mood symptoms when I see him as well as fatigue rather than intrusive thoughts.
I've been trying to get off a low dose of olanzapine I was using as a sleep aid. Yesterday I was up in the middle of the night and had very dark thoughts, like I haven't had in a long, long time. I stepped down from 1.25 mg olanzapine about a week ago to zero. So far my sleep has been fair but not bad. I'll try for another week or so to stay off of it.
