We already hit 50 pages on the last check-in! Here's a new one.

I'll link to this on the old one and ask that the old one be closed.

I’m in bed. Got blood drawn today. My prolactin and liver enzymes are good! Took a few months for the prolactin to go back down after risperdal made it really high.

Possible trigger:


I could get into pretty big trouble if something happens. My Pdoc would fire me and Idk if I'd end up IP if I needed to go to the ER or if I could make up some excuse like my pain really sucked. Which isn't even an excuse and not somethIng they'd put you in the psych hospital for I don't think.

I'm kinda getting pissed again because I want my therapists attention. She did email me and I do see her on Monday.

I keep hearing stuff too. Last night some cat got into a fight and it was so loud. But theres no like satanic ritual mark or anything.

I know I'm just talking out of my butt again

My flight was delayed, so was luggage but I'm back home now.

Since I was traveling alone I didn't have to converse with anyone so I put on my buds, turned on nose cancellation, and enjoyed the calm music. I had no idea until we landed that the flight was done.

@Blueberrybook Sorry I didn't respond to your post earlier. I'm very tired after getting only a few hours of broken sleep. Hoping tonight is better.


You're right, 12.5 mg of Seroquel isn't much. It's most just to take the edge off during the day if I need it without making me sleepy. But when I can't sleep I'll take anything. I've taken more than I'm supposed to once or twice but I'm hesitant to do that with Seroquel both because I'm not sure I'm allowed (I'm allowed to go over my gabapentin) and I don't want to keep upping the Seroquel dose until I'm actually "on Seroquel" again. Getting off it was hard and it wasn't working anymore when I went on clozaril. Clozaril is tough because I can't increase my dose because I get toxic levels if I'm on very much at all. But it works for me so having to deal with this bit of Seroquel is a compromise I can accept. I just don't want to be on several hundred mg of Seroquel.


I do get sedation from a bunch of meds. Gabapentin is probably my biggest sleepy med. Clozaril helps. Klonopin helps a lot. Topirimate may help some. I can't take any other ADs because I'm on an MAOI so I miss out on a lot of the easiest ways to get sedation. But mostly what I have works. I just have bad nights. They are usually occasional but I've had more lately. My anxiety level has been so high this summer. I'm hoping that now my therapist is back that will go down. It will also help to hear from my SSDI review. But that will be a while since I just sent it in.


Anyway, thanks for responding.

@raspberrytorte thanks. I think it's been about a month in the past too. I wish I could remember more. I guess I put these things out of my mind once they are over. Maybe this time I'll write it down somewhere.

@raspberrytorte When I was prescribed prozac, before my diagnosis, it triggered a mixed state. I'm currently on Wellbutrin. When I first started Wellbutrin, it really helped alleviate the depression symptoms I was having. But, when I tried a dose higher than what I'm on, it gave me worse irritability than some of the types I've been hypomanic. I actually haven't tried a lot of antidepressants. My first pdoc stopped them after I was diagnosed and Wellbutrin was the first one my current pdoc suggested.

My day long meeting didn't feel quite as long as I expected it to. I didn't study the subjects I currently teach in college, so I was really insecure during it. But, I also didn't agree with everything. I was clearly the minority though, so I didn't say anything.

I didn't have any SI today! What a relief. POTs fatigue really knocked me out though so I didn't do much once I got home. I got laundry in the washer and dryer, but won't be putting it away tonight. I just tried to rest up for a busy couple of days this weekend. I am going to need to set an alarm tomorrow because I have so much to do and have plans to see friends.

So I don't want to take my medicine. two more weeks of this is going to suck. I don't see the point in taking the medicine if I can't keep it down. I don't think I care for this pdoc. I'm already up to 5 pills a day again. I wish this **** would just work. I'm tired of switching medicine. I'm tired of calling my pharmacy because if I don't they take weeks to get to me.
