Thanks, sweetie porkpie!
Weirdly enough, I feel totally normal today. I feel that I've been subject to outside forces, moving me up and down, up and down. Today I feel really calm and "normal". Finally got some zzzzzz's last night without taking melatonin. phew.
I wonder if Lam could even be effective @ 25mg, after a week and a half? Maybe it's just a fluke, but I feel good.
Porkpie--
What kind of drug is Seroquel? Is it like Ambien? Do you think it helps stabilize your moods due to getting sleep? I've heard that not getting sleep aggrivates mania, making it worse. Which comes first? Chicken or egg?Glad to chat with someone who isn't arguing that BPII isn't a real diagnosis. Sometimes those BPI folks can get on their high horse. We all need reassurance, ya know?
Also interesting to hear that Lexapro made you manic and cycle faster. Me too. Did you think it was all in your head? My ruminations were so bad that I couldn't get anything straight, and I was sure that I was making it all up until I stopped, and the brain noise stopped, and I felt OK.
keep in touch guys,
fluffy
