Hi, Ya, I was gone there for a bit.. I now see from my previous post I was already talking about drinking and going manic. And your post about BiPolar and the rapid cycling(I just read today) was a tell tail sign I was heading into one. I guess it was Saturday and I had 6 coolers and quite a bit of baccardi and I went into a pretty severe mania. If I wasn t such a dumb *ss I wouldnt have drunk, but I did. Having anxiety all my life got me "addicted" to binge drinking on Antidepressants because I get so euphoric and social It's like im making up for all the lost time. Im smarter then to do it but I drunk alot anyway. I wont be doing it again i promise that.
Anyway I got home and I was so nuts, my thoughts were 1 billion miles an hour and I started getting dysphoric. In the madness I took 1000mg seroquel, 300mg or 500mg trazadone, 4mg Clonazepam, 8 zopiclone and a gravol. It was a carefully calculated mix to put me asleep for 2 days. Only in a mania does it seem logical, not anymore Ha.
Im at my parents place right now till newyears. My mom tried waking me and couln't and I was breathing very slow and very slow heart. so They took me to the hospital and Now Im back. It wasnt hard to convince everyone i wasnt suicidal. If I was I woulda took alot more and Parnate would of been a better choice.. SO Im out of my mania and normal.
Your last post was awesome, Thanks for that input.
Ill have to re reaad it in the morning so I can say some stuff,... I think you will get over the sedation. I was the same when I started Nardil... that may mean nothing, but its MAOI and it went away. I havent got any more results yet being at 70, soon tho. Glad ur on board still. If sittin around doing nothing until it does/doesnot work is what you gotta do, so be it eh.
I have confidence in this stuff.. because Ive read so many posts where people need doses way high, and way low. ANd it can take along time to work and settle.
Im very happy to hear that ive been supportive for you in the last while.. You have been a great supporter and friend too. Because of you Im taking this trial with you and me alot more serious before giving up.. its the best ive been so far... The results are coming, but what I really like so far is the side effect profile on me. I hope u get to a balance soon.. remember how bad my Nardil startup was? wow.. so I can imagine how tired u are... I know I still get jealous somewheat when I hear of people doing just great and no side effects..
Ill talk to u in the moning
adios
