Did your pdoc say how long before the med kicks in?
I used it in the past for migraines (preventatively). I've never used it for BP. How long has it been since you have been in touch with your pdoc? I hate the not sleeping part... I get too tired, but cannot sleep. It gets old. So, how do we get you to feeling better? I hope you sleep tonight! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

the CBD was ok I think
I slept thru the night and got up after 15 minutes after shutting the alarm off. Jeff is sick. cold fever he went to lay down around 8pm he was resting when I got home. I have been so hot....and sweaty! my face is wet! I feel like I have had an on going of nite sweats today. awful I saw 4 but did not see my last client, rescheduled for the following wednesday. She sliced her big toe and it is all bandaged up. I have to get up early tomorrow and have my wind shield replaced from a nasty rock/chip. they are coming anywhere from 8-10am and the car has to sit for 2 hours I think. so will resschedule my 10am appointment. I need to take a shower, tomorrow morning is the day. My hair looks awful....having it longer I should probably wash it more often.... It is driving me crazy on my neck! Will try to get to bed earlier tonight....try...geesh! I baked some salmon and had left over green beans with bacon and almonds They were delicious! I need to speak to the manager at sandras. We bought 3 1/2 pounds of talapia 2 weeks ago. Friday and packaged it up on satuday for the freezer and it smelled fishy and was tacky! Jeff bought me a huge butter finger bar! I ate half tonight it was so good! He knows it is my favorite! Well I had better sign off. thank you for reading! bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Just talked to dr. dusty our vet. and we both think it is time to put her down. I called to get support and he was very supportive. I told him that Jeff was not willing to put her down until she was listless.
sigh Is it wrong for me to just wish should would die? I am still hypo....yesterday, I discontinued the prevagen just in case it could be activating....my tegretol level is good, found out yesterday they called With the results and I told her I stopped it and it contributed to the hypomaina. (at least I think so). Robin canceled my therapy session with her. Have yet to reschedule. The guy is here putting in my new windshield., don't know how long it will have to sit.. I need to get into the shower after he leaves, that is of course. If the tegretol doesn't even out my hypomania soon then I will have to go back on lithium...unless you can think of another medication for me to try. Maybe the geodon is not working anymore? I heard it was hard to get off of....vraylar is expensive but I think there is a drug card. sigh love bizi who is getting into the shower! __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

No, it's not wrong for you to wish she'd die. There is nothing that causes me to feel more sad than an ill pet. I wih both you and Jeff courage and peace when the time comes.

Oh Bizi
I don’t think it’s sad your wishing your cat would die, I’m sorry Jeff can’t understand that letting her go is one of the best gifts as a fur baby owner we have to give. Good grief you have a whole bunch of sick in your family The medication combo I was on for almost 1.5 years ( yes I quit a year ago March ) was the best combo I had found in , well , hell , years. Latuda 60mg Lamictal XR 300 mg Doxipen 50-100 mg at night Tenex 2mg at night Xanax 1 mg up to 3 a day but mostly once at night. I didn’t have any bad side effects, my inability to loss weight due to metabolic syndrome , I had hopef would reverse , but obviously not. But I also was on lots of medications for physical problems. So part of me also just felt strongly that my body just had far too many meds a day. The above combo allowed me to feel things ... stable I guess , I wasn’t just snowed under it, at times I felt a bit depressed but not that soul sucking depression. Some moods up or down had a situational component, but sometimes I’d go to bed ok and wake up feeling a bone deep exhausting depression or I’d wake up hypo, so I’d have to adjust my coping skills. Increase self care.. kind of push myself to do everything opposite of what my body wanted to ... I want to stay in bed !!! No! Your going to get up make the bed and get in the shower. I want to stay up all night because I like being an night owl , ok to a degree but I must force myself to lay down and at least rest my body, dammit I want to get up ! No ! Another hour or two. A few times I was going up and up and I’d take Seroquel XR for a few days, it would tamp that down enough for me to not lose control. I feel a version of depression daily even while hypo actually , but chronic ongoing pain is just a freaking downer. So sometimes I have to sit and pick apart how I’m feeling to get to the bottom of it ........ Bipolar ? Or Situational something and I have every right to feel X And sometimes I have absolutely no freaking idea so I tend to fall into my favorite book series. I hope you can find help to hold you over until tegratol has a chance to hit therapeutic level __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

This is what I wrote my pdoc:
Dr. Orazio, I just got off the phone with Robin, my therapist. She encouraged me to write to you. Since I am not sure if you are in the office on friday mornings...you may not see this until monday morning. Am seeing Robin monday afternoon at 2 pm. I think I see you March 3rd. Two weeks ago, I had made an appointment to see her on wednesday but she canceled and could not see me today so we texted this evening and she helped me feel better. This has been a frustrating year for me....Wasn't it over a year ago that we tried the abilify and that didn't help. Back to lamictal and geodon at max doses. anyway...I really believe I have been unstable for quite some time. Even the change to lithium(you had suggested vraylar too) I became hypomanic at christmas time in indiana(on lithium) I was afraid of the geodon with drawl so instead stayed with the geodon. But now, I do believe the geodon is not working. I have not had this amount of hypomania since BEFORE I met you. Took the increased dose of tegretol after dinner tonight and have already stopped the prevagen in case it was activating. My Hypomania symptoms: Having problems with time management.(home and work) spending too much time with clients doing my job....it is taking me longer. Seems so hard to do now. don't trust my instincts. questioning my skills poor boundary issues being late for everything on the computer, up too late, after midnight over sleeping driving is an issue, very distractable last week a bit paranoid looking for cop cars this week trying to focus to not get into a car accident impatient with other people hard focusing on routine, takes twice as long to do my night time routine, getting home late and eating out a lot! Skipping personal hygiene steps( brushing teeth, washing face, applying night time creams) Bounced a check because I avoided making a deposit(I never bounce checks!) Today, I was so angry with you when you did not want to change my anti-psychotic, like you did not believe me. I don't want to get manic! or worse psychotic!! I started using CBD at night to help improve my sleep....2 nights and I think I am sleeping better. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Am waiting for a call back from my pdocs office...
I missed a call at 8;30am and have been calling since and yes the office is closed. charmaine said that she would be there until 10 or 1030 so I am running out of time, I canceled my morning appointment. I just called again....very frustrating! Maybe something happened to her??? or Why won't she call me back??? bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

After sending another email to Dr. Orazio's office, she finally called me.
apparently she had left another phone number...so that was my fault. anyway...keep taking my meds with the tegretol increase. After that stabilizes then we switch to vraylar. I emailed robin the note that I sent dr. orazio. She said I may need to take the day off. That is good advice. But, I will try to just do my job and pay attention to what I am doing while driving and working. That is what I did yesterday. Try to stick to my routine.... bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |
