Day 70, Step 130, 6 day streak

Quick update on the last month or so...

5 days after that last post, I was taken off the stabilizer due to allergic reaction... cold turkey. The light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully seeing change soon, turned out to be another train. The next 2 weeks were... interesting... lots of bouncing between level and hypomanic, only one 3 day dip into depression.

... and then we started an antipsychotic...

I slept like the dead those first 2 nights, and my average for sept is up 1.416hrs a night from my average is august. I'm holding more or less level the last 2 weeks, but at this dose the new med is more or less just an antihistamine and making my sleepy... Just had the 2 week update with the doc and we're going to continue on this one for now.

Tomorrow's the first dose where it is documented to have any effect (on both anxiety and depression), and I see my GP again in a month to see if we're going to stay at this next dose or if it needs to increase again.

Here's to another 3-4 days of fun and another month of waiting to see if we're done being a guinea pig for now...
