I don't even know where to begin. I feel so good! Really good, but I'm miserable. I've been like this for the past two weeks now and it's not. letting. up.

I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this. It's such a profound feeling that I can't quite put into words. I certainly wouldn't use good ones.

My new Lithium dose might be helping some but I still feel dyseuphoric, as I call it. An amalgamation of positive and negative emotions that create this ferocious mental beast that only the strongest antipsychotics could possibly hope to tame.

Only problem is, I can't go on anything else right now. I'm stuck with Rexulti because it works so well. For depression anyway. It's not doing squat for this, and I'm so hopelessly in love with this med I would never give it up for something which I know would help.

I feel so stuck right now. I see my pdoc this Friday but HAH if I can last that long I'll give myself a pat on the back.

I have been in your shoes before and it is miserable. Hang in there until Friday and I am sure your doctor can do a med tweek that will help.

I like the term you use, "dyseuphoric."

I am sorry you are experiencing this. Sounds very uncomfortable.

maybe give your pdoc a call?

I hope you feel better soon.

Mixed episodes truly suck. Between now and your Fri appointment it may help your dr if you keep a mood diary. I live in the land of mixed episodes and my pdoc relies on my diary.

I’ve had them and I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m glad you see your pdoc Friday. Look after yourself.
