I had to go to emergency psych on Tuesday nigh. It wasn’t very helpful though. I was able to get a last min appt today with a doctor that comes here once a month, I’ve seen her before and she’s really nice. I really felt like going back on Seroquel would be super helpful, because I’ve been really out of sorts since I got taken off it. But she didn’t want me to go back on it because of a side effect I had. She upped my from 5 mg to 7 mg instead. Hope it helps…

The grocery store was so busy today, and my anxiety med hadn’t kicked in yet. Holy crap. But I’m glad that the shopping is over with, and that I have food options again. I’m super tired today. The Abilify is still making me sleepy during the day, especially a while after I take it at 5 PM. I’m wondering if I should try adjusting the time I take it again. It’s also on out been a little under 2 weeks on the increased dose, so it’s possible the tiredness will still lessen.

1/2 I had the appt today with a nurse practitioner that the inpatient psychiatrist had set up for me. I feel like it went decently well. She told me to try out taking my at 5 PM, since if I take it a bit before bed, I sleep for a million hours and taking it in the morning, I’m tired all day. I hope that helps. She also told me to change my to split the dose and take half in the morning and half at 5 PM. She said that should help with my anxiety more (hopefully my pain, too).

I wish I could function like healthy people do. Sigh. It always takes me multiple hours in the morning to start getting anything done. I’m also still extra tired in the morning from my Abilify, and even more so since the dose was upped. The big issue is being extremely overwhelmed and having little motivation. The tiredness just adds to it.

Being discharged from the hospital in an hour or so. They’re going to up my Abilify in the hope that it will help my depression. Still feeling pretty hopeless, but going to try to stick around to give the upped Abilify a try…

So sore today. And also super tired from one of my meds. Side effects suck. But I’ve weighed pros and cons and the pros of how this med helps me outweighs how tired it makes me.

I had my psych appt and very narrowly missed a hospital admission. I think she’s actually pretty concerned though, because she wants to see me THIS TUESDAY. I think the closest together my appointments have ever been is 2 weeks. And she doesn’t think the Abilify is helping, so she’s putting me back on Anafranil and she said she’s going to fast track it by upping the dose every 3 days until I’m at my dose I was on before.

Of course I can’t sleep when I have my appt with my psychiatrist during the day. Part of why I can’t sleep is because of my anxiety about said appointment, actually. But my anxiety keeps me up every night for at least 2 hours regardless of appointments. Usually longer. I’d like a medication for sleep again, but I just started the Abilify for my depression less than 2 weeks ago. She probably won’t want to make another change so soon.

I just got my meds from the pharmacy. I started Abilify this morning, and stopped taking Lithium. I’m very anxious about both of those changes. And hoping I don’t have any side effects from the Abilify. I haven’t slept at all. And I’m still sick. I feel awful.

A addendum: if, and I want to emphasize that this is strictly hypothetical, you are writing the alt text for your post, and you start crying, because your alt text feels so inadequate, clumsy words describing a thoroughly mediocre picture of like the world's most perfect cat...

well, let's just say that part of your self-reflection should include checking your med caddy. The you should have taken two hours ago is still there, isn't it?

Do I choose the psych med that makes me gain weight, or the one that makes my hair fall out?
