okay, so i disagree with my pdoc about going entirely off of prozac because this is the best i've felt in months.

i think i'm hypomanic. sleep is slipping away from me more and more every night. then there's the fact that i'm so antsy and restless, there's no relaxing rn. i can't chill out, just sitting and writing this is taking an amount of focus i'm unsure how long will last.

impulses are high and i'm spending money i shouldn't, i'm trying to work on that the most. but hell, i was so depressed. i was on 40mg before and my pdoc told me to get off entirely, but i'm still taking 20mg, shh.

this likely a bad idea and will bite me in the ***, but i'm not ready to go back to depression again. i hate it. i hate not being able to get out of bed, not wanting to ever eat and all i do is try and sleep. no, i don't wanna go back to that.. at least not yet.

I understand. (although I can't tolerate any of those meds) Depression sucks

Love to you my friend

I also understand. But, the thing is that you shouldn't have to feel depressed. The goal is stability, not depression.

I couldn't tolerate the ssri's anymore, so my pdoc prescribed Pristiq. It turned out to be amazingly helpful.

It seems to me that you need an AD that works along with your other meds to keep you stable.

@bpcyclist i think i still have insight. my spending has been limited, albeit not amazing in the self control area of my life. my impulses are pretty high but i think about it after or if i give myself enough time i can stay in line.
