So, the anxious energy of the past few days seems to have died down to a significant extent. I'm back to normal rounds of Abilify after a couple of days without it. I didn't think that short a time without it would have had this effect and my PsychNP agrees. He's given me a small dose of a heavy duty PRN (Klonopin) for the meanwhile.

This is the time of year where, if things were going to go wrong, they would go wrong. All of my IP trips seem to occurr at this point of time. However, this feels like overkill.

I think what I'll do is fill the prescription, in the interest of utility and on the off chance I'm wrong. After work, I'll take a dose and test it out for any side effects.

Wellbutrin and, particularly, Xanax give me this perception of the world and even my own body moving faster than my mind could perceive it. I could swing my arm in front of me and my head would take a least a full second to follow along. I definitely couldn't do ladders or stairs, because I couldn't coordinate what stair or rung I was on.

I've had the side effects before, and I'd rather not repeat them if I can help it.

Start of the work week today! I've got a Black Friday promotion on a phone this week and several more next week. Should have a good commission check for the next few weeks!
