Well...it went really good. So, for four days I'm on 1mg AM & 1mg PM if that doesn't work I go 1mg AM and 1.5mg PM.

Well, I took 0.5mg this morning with breakfast then 0.5mg this afternoon when I got home from my appointment and errands. So, then I'll take my usual 1mg this evening with dinner.

Well, won't know how well the 1mg in the morning and 1mg in the evening will work but I'll keep you posted.

As for now, I'm having some paranoia alternating with grandiose delusions but it's not as "strong" as they have been in the past. Hopefully these two dose increases this week will do the job. At least that's the hope.

Well, today has been pretty rough. I just took my meds. So, hopefully in the next hour the meds will kick in and my mind will quiet down a bit. The extra 0.5mg yesterday afternoon when I got back from the appointment and errands worked pretty well. So I think I'll be quite a bit better when the meds kick in. It wasn't perfect but it was the best relief I've had since this started.

Well, this extra 0.5mg in the AM is definitely helping. It's not quiet but it's most definitively more manageable. PM can still be a bit unnerving at times but Sunday night I can take 1.5mg. I think these changes just might do the trick. YIPPEE!!

Thanks I am too! I'm not very patient so I got a little unnerved by the lack of results earlier. But I think we are definitely well on our way.

Well, today has been really good...no "episodes" yet. Last night was a bit rough, but hopefully the extra 0.5 mg will do the trick Sunday night.

I think we will have nailed it with tomorrow's increase.

Really hoping the extra 0.5mg at night starting tonight is the final dosage change and I'm pretty confident it will be.
