I don't know what is going on. Meds got changed a bit a week ago yesterday. I've been "manic" for more than a month. Two professionals (prescribe meds) and many t all day this is what I'm dealing with. I don't think the meds are right. Yesterday I felt so mixed and now today I'm up way up. Like over the moon driving my wife crazy by constantly moving and teasing her. I've taken my meds how I was told to. I don't want this to fit. Why can't it just be like clothes and it be too big? I'm only taking my meds due to obligation. I don't want to. I feel fantastic. Like how can this be wrong? I have so much I want to do.

Then there's the part of me that's saying this is you. You know it is. You have to take your meds. You can call Pdoc about the meds. You need to tell Pdoc about the things you've been hearing (recent development). You know it's ok to be sick.

These thoughts fly back and forth with some variations. I wonder what would happen if I just let go and let the wave of this pull me under and wrap me in the fluidity and warmth of it.

Teasing your wife will come back to bite you if you know what I mean.
Scary thought about letting wave pull you under. Keep swimming - you can ride this wave.

Ummmmm what I wouldn't give to be on a bipolar high right now. A lot of meds take a good four to six weeks to kick in. Do you feel any affects from them yet?

The scary thing about being up is crashing. Hang in there and listen to your inner self. If you feel you need to call the doctor, then call.

I don't feel much of anything from the seroquels. The 100mg of regular I take in the morning to keep me from getting on more trouble makes me sleepy very short time. The 50mg of reg seroquel throughout the day I can't tell if it's helping, but it probably is since I haven't gotten into more trouble at work. I am not going to call Pdoc yet.
Yeah candc I know what you mean it is already coming back to bite me.
She's really sexually frustrated with me. I'll want to, then some switch flips and I don't. She was already frustrated because being two females results in female cycles. She's irregular and just as she was finishing I started.
Gotta finish getting ready for work.

My disclaimer, I am not an expert by any means however friends using seroquel and lamictal took them at night to sleep. Are you sleeping at all at night? Sleep is so important.
If you are getting in trouble at work and with your mate, better talk to the pdoc quick. Something is not right with your meds is most likely the reason.

Combo of reg and xr.
I'm sleeping 5-6 hours a night, normally interrupted. I'm not getting in trouble at work currently but a few weeks/months ago I was. Then I got emergency appt with psych NP and seroquel got officially added and upped. And I've gained some control.

I know your not wanting to do the whole "call your Pdoc" routine .. just stay mindful of how your symptoms are or can effect your relationship ..

Yeah. I am trying. I'm finding it difficult with floating between denial and complete acceptance.
