Good morning, slept well 8 1/2 hours. They’re having bingo later today in the community room so I’m gonna probably go to that. Mainly to get out of my apartment and socialize a bit.
Other than that do whatever I want today. Working on making my days less obsessively scheduled and structured as homework from my therapist. So the only thing I have on my to do list for today is go to bingo. The rest of the day is completely open. I don’t have to be productive 24/7 I need to learn to be okay with that.
I’d like to play my game so I’m probably gonna do that at some point.
Had a great time during Bible study w/ @

We increase the Lamictal on Monday from 250mg to 300 mg. A little nervous about that but hopefully it goes well. After that we’ll increase it to 400 mg. I’m almost off the trileptal. Going down to 150 mg next week. My starting dose for that was 1500mg. It’s been a long really slow process doing these simultaneous tapers especially since trileptal affects the level of lamictal in my blood so it has to be done even slower.
I’m debating whether or not I want to taper off the Thorazine after this. On the one hand I’m doing good on it in combo with my other meds and have no side effects from it and I’ve been on it over 5 years. On the other hand I’d prefer to be on less meds. My sleep is basically non existent when I’m not on it. Also there’s no telling which of the APs (abilify 30 mg and Thorazine 400 mg) I’m on is doing the best at controlling my psychotic symptoms so it might be safer to just leave things alone if I’m doing well. I’m thinking it’s best to just stick with what’s been working and not screw with things.
