I can't stop scrolling through my phone trying to find friends to talk with or text. I've spent hours on the phone. I have to pm or chat on fb and talk a lot. I keep checking my eharmony mail umpteen times. One friend of several years isn't talking to me. I've been this way for days. I even got into a situation with friends where they tried taking advantage of my talkative , manic nature. Any thoughts? What should I say to my Pdoc tomorrow morning?

[Moose72]

I Keep needing people to hurry up. Whatever they're doing it's not fast enough and it's annoying!!

Hey moosie
depends how bothersome you find the symptom, imo... how you tell pdoc, might get your meds changed which i personally hate, so i tell her my symptoms but i'm reasoning through it, or if i want more clonopins or something i'll ask (she always says no to that one). you also could talk to pdoc about the blood clot meds... make sure everything you're taking goes well together.

[Moose72]

That's true. Though the ER knew what I am taking.

Can you get symptoms even on meds?

[BlueInanna]

I was thinkin maybe the vicodin could send you into a little feel good time...
are you worried about going into full blown mania and psychosis, etc?

[BlueInanna]

oh do you mean like can you still go manic when on mood stabilizers? i am right now... i'm on lithium and had mania over a month... but i'm ok with it, i don't want more lithium

[Moose72]

It never has before. *shrug* I don't know that I'm manic but my social life is really suffering.

I always max out on lithium so that's why my pdoc has me on Zyprexa.

maybe you should go out with the couple ... for ... dinner :P

[Moose72]

You mean in for dinner. :-p

[BlueInanna]

You will be the appetizer, main course and the dessert

[Moose72]

I'm sure that's the case! Predators is what they are.

[Moose72]

Plus I'm having terrible pms.

eroquel
Henry Nasrallah, a psychiatrist, in an article by Matthew Herper (Forbes.com):
”A lot of our patients beg us for sleep. And if we are going to give them something for sleep, we want to give them a mild, not harmful drug that seems to help both their sleep and their depression or anxiety. Seroquel fits the bill.”
Off-label use in a variety of mood, anxiety and personality disorders (The Carlat Report).

Pdoc wasn't concerned. She said maybe I'm just feeling better since the hospital.

She refilled my ativan and scheduled me for mid November for another check.

I'm at a coffee shop right now. Gonna have lunch with my friend- the one that takes me to the hospital. . His treat, too! That's in an hour and a bit.

Kids had their first day of school today. I hope it's going well. I'll have to pick up my youngest so I can talk to his teacher. He was my daughter's teacher 2 years ago and he's an old family friend. It's always interesting to hear teacher's take on him. He wants to skip middle school and maybe even high school- take the SATs. He's only 10. Lol

[BlueInanna]

Cool about pdoc. Congrats kids off back to school! That's awesome about your 10 yr old, mine is in special ed for reading and writing, but he graduated speech therapy last year. But damn that boy is athletic, he's in 5th grade and they're letting him be on the middle schoolers 6-8th volleyball team i was so proud and agreed to let him do it, then get hit with the $100 bill, ouch, but oh well and thanks grandma!

Have a great time at coffee, and a good teacher talk.
