So decreased the AP and the Lamictal. Dropped the tiny amount of Seroquel I was taking to sleep - and slept better, interestingly.
I did just notice that the stiffness up the back of my neck has disappeared. What a relief. Now I'm waiting for my jaw, arms, shoulders to stop shaking.
*sigh* Isn't it the nature of mental illness...feel mentally well, then meds cause upset with your body. I do recall that with bipolar disorder frequent med adjustments are necessary. It's sure true for me.
