I have been upped on all my meds since deep depression was for quite a long time starting at the new year. I have a new psych and I like him. He takes me serious, knows what he is talking about, and you are in and out in like 15 min (but probably charged for an hour).
He tried Abilify and sent me into mania, so then he had to fix that. Now I realize I haven't thought about suicide in at least a month, I don't stay in bed as often, more motivated and less Xanax needed. I never get my hopes up about treatment bc it usually stops and changes within 6 months. I am going to lower one med back to previous dosing. What if it sets me back, yet it makes me so tired til noon bc of side effects.
I guess I will just enjoy my time for as long as it lasts. Have you had up and down thru your disease? Mine can change in a week or two last a few days and on to some other emotion. Been this way for so many years that it is frustrating.
Hang in there. I am going through a meds recalibration myself and it sucks. I posted something about the frustration and .... sometimes there are just no words to describe the awfulness of this. But do hang in there. You're not alone. PS. I'm liking this travel template. Nice choice! :)
