Went in Wed night just got out this afternoon and released to work on Wed, still a little terrified about that but know I have to get back to my life. Whole new set of meds, mood stabilizer, one for anxiety and one to help sleep. Met some wonderful peeps at hospital and we are going to try and stay in touch-our own. Little support group. Working on forgiving myself and overcoming my fear, both are huge for me

That's wonderful that you are going to keep in touch. Having a good support system is important. Good luck getting back to work, I hope you find the transition smooth!

Thanks so much, didn't make it, planning for Monday now. I'm on 300mg trileptal twice daily, .5 mg clonazepam twice daily as needed, 100 mg trazadone nightly. Took 3 days to get to talk to someone at psychologist office, told it was OK to half clonzapam and only take if needed and OK to half trazodone. Haven't taken the clonazepam since Thurs and only taking half a trazodone at night. They told me not to mess with the trileptal till my Dr appt. Not feeling so out of it now, Thursday I dinged my car pulling out ofgarage and jumped curb pulling into gas station so iI wawasn't in good enough shape to drive. Feeling better now and motor skills are much better. So grateful...

Being discharged from IP can be incredibly stressful and disorientating so be easy on yourself where possible. You will most likely be fragile so use your supports as much as needed as well as all the coping skills you have to get through this transition. I wish you all the best. Take care.
