I am also tapering off klonipin at her request/ insistance rather. So I am taking .375mg at night now for one month. So tonight is the first night of lowered dose.
Hope I sleep.

So depression has returned. I don't know if I'll ever be stable. I can't afford the therapy I need and I don't think I have the pdoc that works best for me. I'm awake at an hour when I'm usually knocked out. My mom stops by to check on me, but I've yet to really tell her what's really going on. And it really hit me now that I'm awake at such a crazy hour.

Feeling pretty calm today so far. My son is still not at home. Really need to get some chores done, but the rain and depression are making me feel like staying on the couch. For now I'm just enjoying feeling so calm.

You have been under tremendous stress lately. Could that be a contributing factor? I hope you feel better soon.

Well the calm only lasted a couple hours. I just can't handle the weekends. I wish they had IP/IOP for just weekends. At this point, I would totally go if they did.

Not much happening today. The roof leaked again and there was water coming into my home office this morning. So sick of this but have to wait until the roofers have time to repair it and have good weather. It may be the end of this month.

Didn't feel well. Still have poor sleep. Didn't go to church and couldn't take a nap. Restless and hungry, even though I've been eating decent meals.

Anxiety is up, as is depression. Just trying to ride this out until Tuesday when I see my pdoc for the last time. I hope I get a good pdoc next time.

This time is the second time I've tried to get off Seroquel. Currently experiencing lots of nausea and (TMI) diarrhea. I just have this dull ache in my stomach, as if someone punched me there and I've got a bruise

I've got 3 appointments on Tuesday because I'm an idiot and schedule everything on the same day without realizing it... and unfortunately, none of those appointments are a pdoc appointment

I just feel so horrible stomach wise. I haven't felt this bad in years. It's even worse than the first time I went off Seroquel. It's just this dull pain...

TMI again, but I get this type of pain when I've sh_tted out all that could be sh_tted, yet my stomach doesn't realize it

Sounds like a tough day today.
It's often difficult to have a good day if you can't sleep.
I hope the anxiety and depression dissipate.
Feel better very soon!

I am so sorry about your stomach troubles Blue. I have them constantly and your metaphor about the bruise makes me thing we are battling something very similar. Mine feels bruised deep inside and so sore. ((Hugs)))

Oh, dear! You sound miserable.
Have you checked in with your pharmacist?
There are OTC treatments to slow down/stop the diarrhea.
Please stay well-hydrated!
Keep us posted if you can do so.

The dreaded depression has returned. Smh....don't understand this roller coaster. Going through a transition. Maybe that's it. Not getting anything done...not getting out of the recliner. Frustrating, painful and disheartening. I hope tomorrow is a better day for me and for everyone else having a tough time.

A transition, maybe that's it? I hope so! For both of us.
I have a good day and then 3-4 not-so-good days.
My pdoc now has me starting Wellbutrin at 4 a.m., with 2 more doses throughout the day. Hitting the Wellbutrin and Adderall all day long.
The Latuda, citalopram and klonopin at night. Are we supposed to keep pumping meds looking for a good response? It seems odd, very unnatural.
I don't know what else to do.

Today, I got dressed, ate meals, wrote on PC. That's all.
I hope tomorrow is a better day, as well.

Golly my dear that doesn't sound right.
I would go into your pharmacist and talk with them about your meds schedule. Have you considered getting a new pdoc with a new perspective?
I don't know, Sorry I am not being helpful.

You're right. My depression follows the same pattern yours does. I think the depression is there underneath the transition pain. I guess I look for reasons to explain it as if that will mean someday it will go away forever. I think I mentioned that when it's been the hardest, I've fought to stay alive for my daughter and to pour all my love into her. She's been my purpose. I'm a little lost right now and in pain.
I thought that was causing my depression.

I need to accept facts. I take a cocktail of medication as well and we keep trying new things. It is odd and unnatural but that's all I know to do as well. My hope is that someday something will come along soon medication wise to stop all this. I hope that for you as well. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Best wishes....

Feeling very overwhelmed. Had to leave work early as I couldn't handle the stress. My mood is very low too and I am agitated. Not a good space to be in with so much on my plate right now. Close to panic and drowning. Went for a walk this morning and that did help a bit. Will try to take some time to rest before I study this afternoon. What can I do but keep pushing through. I don't think any more meds will help. This is the crash after a long mixed episode and it will pass.
