![]() Well, I feel guilty complaining b/c I was so down for so long, now I am staying up till 2 and 3 unless I take at least two Ativan and a Benadryl and I feel like I can't stop myself from just going crazy!!!!!!! ![]() My pdoc started me on Lamictal three weeks ago at 25 mg, then to 50 a week ago plus Geodon (60mg) now for a week and one day. The geodon felt like a wonderful switch was turned on and I finalll got out of the depression I was in, but now I feel a almost manic (or maybe just manic!lol!) I don't want to tell the doc b/c I am afriad of being depressed again and I am SO productive right now!!!! I LOVE that part of it!!!! But about two hours before I take the meds I turn into the ***** from hell! I am trying to kick Ativan and I am failing miserably!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! |

I doubt you're failing miserably. I say call your pdoc and see what they say. They may just adjust a dose or two. Never know. Meanwhile. stay home and keep yourself safe. That's what I have to do- I lock myself in my room alone with books, tv, and internet until it passes. (Well except the email part!) |

Thanks for your response! It feels good to know people care. Well, I DO like mania, and yes, it is EXACTLY like you describe it......I've just lived with it so long that it's hard to know when it's just me and when it's the mania. And yes, don't you just LOVE it when you send those emails or make crazy calls!
![]() Well, I started having awful chest pains yesterday and I didn't know what the heck was going on. I was scared! I was teaching a piano lesson and I had to walk out for a minute because it got so bad. So that prompted me to call the great pdoc!!!!! ![]() ![]() So, I feel SOO good today and much more clear. Before I took the pills I couldn't stop cleaning or sit still (not a completely BAD thing.... ![]() Thanks for listening! Venting is such a good therapy! ![]() Quote:
