Now it's physical too.
Nose bleeds, cold hands, bad stomach, jittery, no energy.
I was out of the house for the weekend. Terrible to no sleep.
The meds are all screwed up. My head wants to explode.

The only improvement in my life was to have a tooth cavity filled.
It fell, for the 3rd time in a month, last night. Has to be a crown now.

I need some compassion. Something I will not get at home. Thank you.
It may take some time to reply, it's hard to type now, but I'll be reading.

Oh no! Physical pain on top of mental pain is the worst. I'm sorry you're going through this. How long have you been ill? And have you talk to a doctor about this (assuming it's been like this for a little while)?

Hi Gina,
Thank you for the hug!.
I was out for the weekend and went thru a grinder. Driving long distance.
Different food, different bed. I missed some of the meds.
Used some adderall to pick me up, but it was a kick in the arse.

The cold hand thing returned. The nose is bleeding (has happened before.)
The whole system is misfiring.

I'm also cutting Trazadone in favor of Remeron, but the eating binges are unreal.
I may have tapered too fast. I may be trading a cow for a goat here. I don't know.
Also, I want to get off the Lamotrigine, since is doing nothing for me and I feel the Lithium is working a little bit. But that will be after the Remeron deal.
How much Lamo are you taking now?. I never went over 200mg.

It's bad when a Pdoc imposes his will. But it's also bad when the let you do what you want. Like in my case. I pick my own meds. Hell, I didn't go to medical school.
I hope I'm making sence.
Be pacient, happiness will return. I chose to think so.

Thank fou for your concern. In this town there are more sick people that healthy. Next appointment for the GP is in April. Or an "assistant" sooner.
Assistant= Kid going thru medical school.
I will have to ride it out.

I'm so sorry you're feeling terrible.
Do something soothing. Take a hot bath. Read a good book to take your mind off of your health.
I know what you mean. My old Pdoc always asked me what Meds I wanted to try.
Is there an Emerg Center?
We care about you.

Whoa that is a lot to be dealing with! Mixing the med cocktail is never fun, until it is mixed to perfection.
I'm only up to 150 of the Lamictal for now. But we'll see how long that lasts, I see the pdoc next Monday.
I hope you feel better.
Thanks for this!

The coldness May of been from the adderall. Whenever I take my vyvanse or any stimulants my skin gets painfully cold and my blood pressure sky rockets. But I'm a bit concerned about the nose bleeds. Are you by any chance on blood thinners? Sorry TMI but pay attention when you use the bathroom. As in, look for any blood. And if there is then get to a doc and get a blood draw to check your PT/INR. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Rx,
I'm feeling better today. Thank you.
The cold hands and feet are from the Lithium.
Adderall does this too, however, I only took 10mg.
The blood has stopped. Only blood thinner is baby aspirin.
Since the Lithium, soft floaters. At one point, very dark.
I lowered the Lithium from 900mg to 600mg. Color improved.
I had a general check up when they did the 1st blood draw.
What is PT/INR?.
Thanks again for you concern.

PT/INR tests how quickly your blood clots. It tells you the thickness of your blood. Glad you're feeling better!
