Hi Beth. Thanks for asking. The extra Seroquel has calmed the mixed state symptoms I had a while back. As for my moods now, I have good baseline times, but occasionally some mild down ones. Overall I see that as progress. My appetite has definitely increased, but I know I could control it better if I had the motivation to do so. Right now is still a stressful time, to be sure. My sleep has increased after a few weeks of being disrupted. In fact, now I get extremely tired early at night. Last night I even went to bed at 7:30 pm and woke up at 6 am "ish". I know that's a bit dysfunctional, but at the same time it improves my mood the next day. Also, the earlier I go to bed the less I snack at night. My hunger spikes shortly after I take my evening medications, and first thing in the morning. It's normal during the middle of the day.

By the way, I took your advice and threw out those chocolate ganache brownies/cakes. Hubby hasn't even noticed as he rarely eats such things, anyway. I did switch to some Czech wafer candy type bars, but overall they are lesser evils.
