Here we go again. At least this time it's hypomania that's got ahold of me instead of the depression. but i called pdoc today to see if we could tweak something to get me through the weekend w/o climbing the walls or hurting someone. between my rage and libido problems i feel like i'm coming out of my skin! And here I thought I was finally out of the woods and had gotten my meds right. Shows what I get for thinkin' I reckon.


Thanks for letting me vent. One of these days we're gonna get it right. At least after a week of stability it's renewed my hope that it WILL happen!


Hugs and Love,


Traci

Thanks Missy. Today was spent rushing from one ball field to the next seemingly all day with a few other errands thrown in for good measure. The libido is still making me nuts, but the temper doesn't seem quite so bad as it has been the past few days. So, hopefully the additional seroquel is going to do the trick. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Hi Traci,
Sorry to hear that your stability didn't last longer. Mine never lasts real long either. Did you ever get a dose change like you wanted? If you did, hopefully that will do the trick. It is possible to get stable on meds, it just takes a while. It is a lot of hit and miss.


Take care, and I hope you feel better soon.
Hugs,

Hi Cyn


I did get an increase in the seroquel. I'm now on 350 mgs. It seems to be quieting down the libido problem a bit, but the temper/rage is still pretty prominent. Hopefully that will start quieting down too. Pdoc said if the symptoms don't subside to up the dosage to 400 mgs. I'm hoping that doesn't become necessary, but will deal with it if it does. Thanks for the good thoughts.


hugs,
