Thank you, bluebicyle and fern46!

I left a message on my psychiatrist's vmx this morning suggesting an increase in my Seroquel XR. He may or may not call back. I told him not to, if he agrees with my plan. I hinted at other stuff, but wouldn't get into that on a vmx message. It could be bipolar-related.

I won't waste that much space telling why I brought up seizures. Long story. I will say one neurologist diagnosed me with simple partial seizures an epileptologist said "not definitive". Pdoc knows. It's complex. I have had zero symptoms that I would put in that possible seizure category, for some years now. The only issues I continued to have are typical bipolar ones. It could simply be a recurrence of "atypical" bipolar symptoms. I will mention them to him next Wednesday. My Tegretol XR dose is quite high. Any more and I often develop double vision. Too much Lamictal is too activating. I don't need more activation.

Just like with bipolar, non medication steps can help ease issues along side medications. I need to practice some grounding techniques. My mom had epilepsy, but a different form than I might have. There are some similarities between bipolar disorder and seizures.
