Yeah. That’s what I want to know. My pnp hasn’t gotten back to me and it’s Friday- again!

My case manager just called. She just realized that my psych NP wasn’t in the office all day- that she took the day off! So my case manager said to keep taking the increased Gabapentin (600) over the weekend and hopefully that helps me sleep! Ugh!

I’m afraid my friend is going to cancel our weekend plans when we talk at 8. Haven’t heard from him all day. I went to Starbucks with my neighbor friend this afternoon and my rate of speech was quite increased.

Only people with bipolar know what it's like to have too much energy and go too fast when you don't sleep. 97% of people feel tired or something so it's something they can't relate to.

Even my behavioral pharmacologist/master of social work friend of 20 years doesn’t understand!

My primary doctor understands! I saw her this evening after my ER visit this past weekend. I got home right at 7 and took all but risperdal and Vraylar. I’ll take those before I go to sleep. So we’re checking my prolactin level because of the risperdal having an history of raising it in years past, and if it comes back fine I can go up to 1 mg a night instead of .5. I’ve been manic for a month now! It’s getting very old! My dr said the chest pain was likely from carrying too many grocery bags at once up 3 flights of stairs on Saturday afternoon so that by the evening I was extremely sore -she pushed on my ribs today and they were still sore, but much less than 2 days ago. I have the best doctor! She even looked in my ears because of the vertigo but they were normal. I told her that at the ER the room was spinning when I turned my head and I was walking like I was drunk- even having to hold on to a computer cart as I passed by it to get out of the ER room. And she was shocked and pleased that my insurance is covering the very expensive liver medication 100%!

I am just hopeful that I don’t get high prolactin. Waiting for my prolactin level to be in my portal from yesterday. If it’s ok I’ll start the higher risperdal tonight.
