I am sure your doc has a good reason for all your meds........as with most things we are sometimes not privvy to the working minds of our health professionals!!........just wondered if it was an adjustment thing, hypomanic thing or many, many meds thing?(re: sleep or lack of).
The thing is, if it is all working for you then........who are we to question? I say take the stillness while you can!!!! Sorry, I just never heard of so many meds for bipolar II
I am sending you some deserved ZZZZZZZZ's babe.......  |
I too have thyroid problems: I have hypothyroidism so I need to take a med for it (one more to the list!). Do you also take a med for it? Are you being checked with certain regularity for your thyroid hormone levels? I am supposed to be controlled by now, so this is supposed to not be contributing to the problem anymore.
To be sincere, I had not even thought about asking my pdoc if this whole list of meds is just for adjustment and if it will get smaller in time. That's a question I will certainly ask her when I see her next time.
Thank you for the ZZZZZZZZZZZZ's
I hope this gets fixed soon!
Sending you healing vibes
