Med Update the Third
I just increased my dosage again last night, so I figure it's a good time to give another update.
Last week was hard. I flaked out so much that I bought things at the store, and the next day when I was searching through the kitchen, found things I had no idea I'd bought. (As I said last night: "It's like presents from past me!") I had a terrible time staying awake in classes for two days, my attention span was shot, and so forth. But, I started taking more careful notes in my planner, and it slowly got better.
I also had really bad swings. I went from peak mania to bottom depression in less than 24 hours. That has never happened to me, and let me tell you, it was utterly exhausting. Then the depression stuck around for three days.
But now I feel mostly okay. I upped my meds last night, and other than feeling like I got hit by a train, I seem to be doing okay.
Let's hope it sticks.

Yeesh. I remember feeling like that... not fun.
I still get the rapid cycles when I go back on my meds after a few days off... keep an eye out for them, because they sneak up on you.
Hang in there--hopefully you'll see some good results soon. Is this the final dosage upping?
