Hi everyone.

Dropping my risperidone back to .5 mg seems to be helping my blood pressure. It wasn't as low at PT earlier this week and was the highest it's been in a month and a half or so at an appointment I had today.

Despite the change in med dose, I haven't had to intense rapid cycling-very minimal symptoms (may it stay that way!). I'm super chatty tonight, and that sometimes turns into more severe rapid cycling symptoms, but it might also pass. My mystery physical illness is not helping the intense depression symptoms I've been having. I told my counselor about how worried I am about what would happen (work, friendships, etc.) if things got bad enough going to the hospital would be a good idea. She (kindly) put me in my place to remind me that my life is what is most important and that everything else can get taken care of after I would get the help I need.
