Definately sounds like your manic. At this point for me the pdoc was nice enough not to admit me to the hospital but still snowed me of 5mg or haldol and 2 of ativan for the weekend to knock down the mania. Hopefully your pdoc did something similar.

What my pdoc did was upping my seroquel 100mg at 8pm so now I am taking a total of 700mg a day. She also lowered my Cymbalta to 30mg and tomorrow she is lowering my abilify and eventually getting me off of abilify.

Hang in there and take it a minute at a time. When I'm manic, I try to close my eyes and take ten deep breaths, visualizing the numbers in my mind as I count back and take each breath. I tell myself that as I count back, I will get calmer and calmer until I can focus. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't. I hope the change in meds kicks in fast!

This is Teresa. I am no longer Manic but my emotions are going thru the roof. Right now at 6:17pm eastern time I have cried many times. I just can't handle my emotions. I am being lowered on a couple of meds and I was put on saphris. I still am only getting 4 hours of sleep a night and now I have to have my mom help me up and down the stairs, walking because my balance is off.

Do you think you should put a call into your pdoc because maybe you need the other meds. in your system.
Maybe they were helping you and you can still see if the Saphris helps you along with the other meds.

I am sorry, I thought you were the person who was just put on Saphris.
My mistake.

I am the person that was but on Saphris 5mg 2 nights ago and on Monday will be on Saphris 5mg 2x a day. I talked to my pdoc today and she said that I am still a little manic and I am supposed to call her around 9am tomorrow. I am also on Cymbalta every other day, seroquel 3x a day, klonopin 3x a day.
