I have been on 60 mg Thorazine, 40 mg Latuda, 1800 mg Gabapentin.

I am feeling GREAT, but not hypomanic.. It is only by comparison that I realize how downtrodden by Zyprexa I had been for too long.

Two problems:

- word finding difficulty and difficulty remembering numbers I usually know by heard. It is severe: I had troulbe retrieving very simply words, including: "wash" when I was writing an email to my friend about my doing laundry. But I think I am willing to live with it.
- I sleep too long.

Waiting for the psychiatrist to tell me if I should lower Thorazine. I also suspect that the high dose of Gabapentin (I upped the dose to ensure I do not have akathisia) mgith be causing longer sleep.

Last night I went to bed shortly before 11PM. I did not set an alarm. I was up at 10 AM this morning, happy and ready to do great things with my day.

And no, I am no longer fearful of FGAs. I am so thankful we have them in our arsenal of helpful tools. Thank goodness for the wide variety of drugs available to us.
