Mountaindewed, I'm glad to read that you are a bit better today.

Coffeee, it is a relief that your house is spared. I'm sorry you were affected by the fire. If it is any consolation, I thought I'd post a photo I found a long while back. I used it to represent new growth after severe times, mood-wise, but it has a good literal meaning, as well. See attached. So very often after devastating fires, the soil left afterwards is particularly fertile.

Coolbreeze, I know how distressing mixed episodes can be. I'm sorry you've been stricken with one. Hopefully it will ease soon.

Gabyundbound, based on what you wrote, if I was in your shoes, I'd reconsider that small dose of Seroquel. Mixed episodes used to be a major issues for me, as was hypomania and full blown mania. I do take a large dose of Seroquel XR, but when I have breakthrough hypomania/mania or mixed features, I take regular Seroquel in low dose (in addition) and it almost always does the trick. If you do decide to give low dose Seroquel a try, maybe consider taking it early evening instead of later at night. If lack of sleep is your main issue, the goal is to sleep. Seroquel works really great for that for many people.
