As I've posted here before, I've made it to the other side of a mixed episode.
However, I have been unable to get onto a good sleep schedule, which is vital to any semblance of mental health.
I couldn't sleep after the Zyprexa was lowered to 5mg, so I reached out to my pdoc and she has prescribed 50 mg of Seroquel just for sleep. So I'll have tapered off the Zyprexa after tonight, but will be adding seroquel. I hate, despise, and loathe seroquel, it's hangover and etc. But I just have to sleep. I think I'm going to start by cutting the pill in half and seeing if 25 mg will be enough. Let's hope it will be.
