8 days sounds reasonable. Maybe you could go over this thread again with an "outsider's perspective" and see what symptoms/concerning things pop out and write them down and bring that to the hospital. Maybe bring up why you stopped and restarted the meds. I'm sure he'll ask some questions. I'd definitely bring up that you're feeling "amped" now that you've restarted your meds. Bring up the lack of sleep too. I've been on both lexapro and abilify and they both made me manic at different times.
