So, I get home yesterday and he is over a friend's house, playing video games. I called him and Asked him why he is playing, since he got his report card, he is supposedly grounded. He says, what??? I thought we were just doing the meds thing? I said, sighing, where is your report card...? He says, go up in my room...I hid it in the phone book in case Dad came up to see it. So, I look in the phone book...there it is, all folded up in a small wad. I unfold it...I look at it, and nothing registers. I look at it again and what do I see? 2 A's, and 2 B's. The little you know what was LYING TO ME THE WHOLE TIME! He made the HONOR ROLL!!! I screamed. Then I said, WHAT IS THIS??? He is LHAO! I said, again, WHAT IS THIS? He said, NOW, NEXT TIME YOU WILL HAVE SOME FAITH IN YOUR SON WHEN HE TELLS YOU HE'S DOING GOOD. I DO NOT (EMPHASIS ON NOT) NEED MEDS! I AM NOT BIPOLAR AND I HAVE MY ADHD UNDER CONTROL STILL. I said, OMFG, you little you know what! I was sooooooooooooooo stressed out and freaking crying about this today! But I was too happy to care.

I should write a book. My life has been the epitome of BP craziness. Truly.

By the way, pdoc DID give me samples of Lamictal and wants me to take 50 mgs for another few days and go on up to 100 mgs by the end of this week for about a week. Then I'll be on 200 mgs which will be my final dose hopefully. I took the 50 last night, and I feel a LOT better today. Last night was HORRID and I'm so glad yesterday is over. Stupid dh didn't even say happy birthday to me...now he knows how much i hate it, but still...ugh! anyway, enough about that, its done finally.

I really love Lamictal. Its been the best med I've been on, as it works on my depression and stabilizing me at the same time.

Its cold still here. Supposed to in the 30s by tomorrow morning. NOT FUN!

I now have to buy clothes and I'm not any smaller. But I'm not going to let anything get me down today, fat or not.

Thanks to all of you for the wishes yesterday and for caring about me.

I love you all.

Hey Keli! Being new here, I don't know where you live, but it's too cold for me where I am today - (midatlantic states) - about 50 degrees and raining to boot. Good for your DS! That report was a terrific birthday gift! What better could you ask for from him?!?!

So you're off clothes shopping huh? I LOVE to shop for clothes. I just rebuilt my house and I'm totally not interested in shopping for furnishings, etc., but let me loose in Banana Republic and I'm a happy woman! Enjoy!

You sound so much better today. Good for you. Glad the lamactil is working well. I'm seeing the pdoc today. So far the paxil/trileptal cocktail seems to be going okay so we'll probably hold on that for a few more weeks.

Have a great day, honey! Love, Mo.

Hey! Tried to call last night - no answer ;( Of course, I forgot to unblock my number so that doesn't help.

Will try you again soon! Glad Mike did so well on his grades. I'd punish him just for being cheeky LOL.

TTYL!

Keli, that is great that Mike did such a good job at school. He surely keeps you on your toes. It is cold here in Maryland too. It is 47 degrees right now, rainy and windy...yuck. I am glad to here the Lamictal is working for you. I used to take 200mgs and then it went to 400mgs and now it is 600mgs. I like lamictal too. I have been having trouble sleeping. I have been taking 2-3 xanax at night and I still am not sleeping well. I have only been taking xanax once a day if that and use it at night, but it isn't really helping. I am going to try taking one at 6pm and then 2 at night. My pdoc approved me doing that. He said I am allowed up to 6 a day, but lately I have not had to use that many, 6 that is.


Love ya,


Tina~

Haha Keli...thats awesome that he got good grades! I would still kick his butt for making me all upset if I was you :) I am so happy the Lamictal is working for you, I am on it too (200 mg)along with Lithium and Wellbutrin and those all together work great for me, I just need to up my lithium to 1200mg then things should be ok. So YAY!!!!! for meds that work.
