Today is not my day. To go from genuine happiness abd wake with a day filled with sadness, anxiety and irritability is now what is like. I see pdoc Wednesday and I worry how she will reAct when I tell everything that's happened and the things in my mind again.

Are you taking meds. I've made a zillion changes. For now I'm stable on my meds.

It's progress, not perfection! Like the others said, don't worry about what the pdoc thinks. That is his/her job! Try to not overthink everything and what it means. I know, easier said than done! Hugs

Yep taking meds. Practicing DBT. Trying not to isolate but it really just makes me feel better!
I am no where like I was weeks ago so I really shouldn't complain. Just an off day. If my pdoc can help me get quality, consistent sleep I think I'd be way better off. It's my number concern I'm taking to her. |

I'm getting nervous about seeing pdoc on Wednesday.
I know I have to tell her all about what's happened this last month-paranoia, hearing things, mania (all that crazy crap), crashing, snd police/ems coming to my house and almost making me go to hospital. It's been nuts and I'm worried how she will react. I do want a sleep aide. I am open to trying an increase in rexulti and trying meds ive been on before. I'm just worried what she will say/want to do. My t knows everything already of course. But she didn't seem too concerned. She did have me contract to go to hospital if I got unsafe a couple weeks ago. I should probably have gone with EMS /police that night and gotten help. But I'm just worried.

My new nighttime meds are helping me.
I take 30mg Temazepam & 100mg Seraquel. I get hungry, but try to just eat some crackers. Unless wild dreams or rain storms wake me, I sleep 10-12 hours. Ask your pdoc.

I know you had to come off Zyprexa but could you try low dose to see if it helps you sleep without messing with your cholesterol? I don't know if that is related to the dose but it seems like it should be and I've heard even a little Zyprexa can be sedating (for me it did nothing; on 10 mg I wasn't even tired and that combined with seroquel and a bunch of other stuff so I have no real personal experience since I only took it a few days before being hospitalized because of being impossible to treat at home at that point.

Oh. Well that would matter then. That's too bad since it seemed to help but good if I could cause harm.
I'm still waiting to do the genetic test as part of a clinical trial (I've actually done it but in one step of the trial and that step you don't get the results so I need to do step 2 and then i get results but step 2 hasn't opened yet. And I really want to help the trial because it's a different approach to the testing that is much cheaper and has some extra benefits to it or something so I am waiting. I'm kind of sad that we won't know what my extremely high dose Seroquel was doing but that's ok). So I don't know how it all works. I hope your pdoc has an idea that works really well for you. Until I went on my MAOI and my Seroquel dose was adjusted to help counter the stimulation from the MAOI I'd never in my life slept well, no matter what drug I took. Remeron helped but I needed higher doses for AD so it wasn't as sedating for sleep. Other things helped for a few days or weeks. The balance I finally got from those 2 drugs was amazing and I had a year or two that sleep wasn't a problem. Then it was again and we've never come close to helping it since. Maybe clozaril.....
