Feeling better

Well I have gone up to 600 mg tegretol and the last two days I have not spent the morning hours trying not to cry. I actually feel kind of settled today. I had a huge trigger with my husband last night the rage was there but it stayed quiet. I always get my hopes up but maybe this med is going to work.

Doxie,
I'm glad you're feeling better. I am today also. Hope tomorrow is better also.

Glad your feeling better. Hope this med works for you.

I hope you are able to remain calm now and will continue to feel better with each
coming day. (Tell your husband to back off when he gets up on his high horse!)

My poor husband I am the aggressor he is just so passive that it gets under my skin. I think gee it must be so nice to stay so calm almost go the point of being unresponsive. It drives me nuts sometimes makes me go on and on when I am trying to make a point because he barely says anything.

Hi---I hope the new med adjustment helps. I'm in the process of stepping up too. So far I'm feeling a bit better as well. Best wishes

How long have you been on accutane? I took it back when I was a teenager and I remember being an emotional wreck during and worse after the drug. I had problems with depression but this made me go out of control. Years later, they saw that so many people had depression or sui after treatment. So just be careful with that. If I took it now, no amount of meds could control me. I had horrible cystic acne that would make my eye swell shut. Bad nosebleeds too. I only took half the usual dosage too. It really messes with your moods. Have you discussed this with your doc?

I have been on it two and a half months I was a wreck way before that. The accutane was a must nothing else worked and the cysts were all over my face. They explained the risks of depression and suicidal thoughts. I had to get permission from my therapist and my psychiatrist to take it so I have been monitored. Hopefully I have two maybe three months. It has changed the way I looked at myself. I feel confident about my face before it made my sadness so much worse. The lithium really did a number on me.

Are you doing ok today too, Doxie?
(Heh. Know what you mean -- my ex was that way. Mr. Stability. Like.. argh! How do you DO that?! He'd stay quite calm, and I'd be flipping out like a rabid wolverine! [Totally amicable btw, that had nothing to do with anything.])
