I got to see my psychiatrist today. He didn’t have much to
say about last week but asked me a few things about my (hypo)manic episodes. My
doctors suddenly seem very interested in that side of things now. Probably
because I was in a hypomanic state right because the psychosis started.
In regards to my medication, there is a few things he wants
to try; a higher dose of my mood stabilizer, a higher dose of my antipsychotic,
and a lower dose of my antidepressant. He didn’t want to try everything at once
right now though, and said that the priority should be to avoid what happened
last week. So he raised the dose of my antipsychotic. I’m happy with this. I’m
worried about what he would change my meds to so just changing the doses is
alright with me. However, now that I’m really thinking about it, if my meds
haven’t helped me so far, is a different dose going to help me? I guess I don’t
know what to think about the whole thing.
Nothing much I can do now though, just try the higher dose
of this med. Every time I start, restart, or go up a dose of this med I go a
bit manicy, so tomorrow will be interesting. It also gives me bad nausea. Arg.
Also this med has made me gain weight, I really hope I don’t gain any more.
We’ll see.
