@Mountaindewed, I hope your doctor can help regulate your hormones to bring some balance for you. Any hormone chaos seems to have ramifications.

@WindsThatBlow, maybe it is that Latuda is not your med. I think most doctors think it has little risk of sparking hypomania/mania (and related stuff), but it is still mostly for bipolar depression. I know too much Lamictal causes over activation, for me. So I take just a touch. @wildflowerchild25 mentioned some good initial experience with Seroquel XR at a low dose. I have good ones at higher ones, too (especially under 600 mg). It's great at curbing both my manic states and depressive states, as well as mixed. Have you ever tried it?

@Nammu and @~Christina, I'm sorry the glory of autumn leaves is fading where you are. We still have them where we are, but they're not as splendorous as in my native New Jersey. I do wish it would rain where I am. It barely ever does. It had been sunny for most of the spring and summer. Now it's gloom, but still no rain.

Yay! Hubby got a call from our contact relating to our car shipment. She says it will likely be ready for pickup next Thursday. Hubby recently ordered updated charging cables (we have a hybrid) because some are different in Europe than in the US.

I had bouts of feeling really sick last night. I feel better at the moment. I've been overexerting myself. I've vowed to nix the idea of some further Christmas cookie baking. I baked another Christmas bread yesterday.
