On the rare occasions I struggle to fall asleep on my Seroquels, I have permitted tools that help. A little extra Seroquel or an Ativan on top of it all. Only if non-chemical aids fall short (i.e. my sound machine, a yogurt, "shut off my brain" strategies, etc.) What about your behavior has improved since taking bipolar medications? __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Much less anger. It's hard to answer this really because now that I'm on meds that work things are so very different. I guess nearly everything?

No, not unless I'm involved in a stage production (and that's been a while).
What brings you peace, even if only for a little while? __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -Litany Against Fear (Dune) |

My purple vibe level is perpetually at a +5. It's weird, I know. I think I caught it at a Stones concert in 1981 because it hasn't changed since then.

I’d guess I’m 0, I’d love to be +5 but I’m too mellow. So I’m smack dad in the middle.

My roommate started watching Game of Thrones from beginning to end and I've been enjoying tagging along with her. It's been an experience for sure!

Last year around this time. I always get manic around Easter, it's both a spiritual and hypomanic time for me.

I try not to. Believe it or not, coffee makes me really sleepy.
