Hi friends:

Today I went in for my 2nd visit with my new pdoc. She way upped my seroquel and wants me to slowly go down on the Wellbutrin. The Trileptal seems to be working on keeping me stable! I had a hypomanic episode and it only lasted a day! Now if we could just beat the downside....

My sleep is really out of wack and that's what we are trying to fix. I'm waking 4-5 times a night.

So far I have fingers crossed, and I am hoping that these med changes work.

Unfortunately, the cutting urge has way incresed since my EMDR session on Saturday. The urges were gone, and now they're back!

I'm having an emergency T session tomorrow, so we can get to the bottom of this.

Hugs to everyone!

Things will work out. Those urges will disappear. I have a good feeling that this pdoc will help you enormously.
All My Best!!!!!!!!!

Rowan good luck with new doc. my pdoc increased my lithium to 900mg yesterday i was extremely manic for 2 days and darn near picked my scalp bald! so i can identify with the cutting. tryin real hard to keep fingers out of hair!

im praying that your new doc and new meds work out well for you.

Bless you my friend!

Thank you friends for all your kind thoughts...

I went to the T session today, and it seemed to help, my tdoc reinforced some of the things that we've been doing and put some things in perspective....

The Seroquel has my number though, man am I tired, from just an extra 50mg! Hopefully the tiredness will wear off.

Hugs to every and please stay safe.
