Somewhat Improving
Last time I wrote to you guys, I was in pretty rough shape. I did speak to my pdoc. He told me to stop taking Nortriptyline immediately for that’s probably the case of all this. I took his orders and noticed an improvement in my mood and actions. Nothing serious, I was still manic.
Yesterday I went to see pdoc. I had my paperwork from work (asking for my leave of absence) ready for him to fill out. He sat down, asked me how I’ve been doing. I told him still manic. He said, “Alright. We’re going to give another medication a try. Have you ever tried Chlorpromazine?” I told him no. He seemed pretty pleased with this choice. He told me he wanted me to start it right away. It would make me drowsy and it would help me sleep. He told me to continue taking all my other medications for now. He said next time he sees me we’ll talk about taking some of the medications away because they’re not needed with Chlorpromazine like my Risperidal & Ambien. Alrighty then.
The prescription stated to take 1-2 tablets before bedtime. So I took lithium, risperidone, ambien, chlorpromazine, and lorazepam. I took two tablets of the chlorpromazine figuring I’d need more than less. Doctor said if it feels like I need it, take 3 tablets. So I figure, try two first. I got a great night of sleep! I woke up extremely drowsy this morning though. THEN my coffee pot took a shit so I couldn’t drink coffee. I didn’t have any soda. NO CAFFEINE !!! What was I to do!?
Mike walked in the door a little late from work and had a coffee pot in hand. *swoons* I love this man. He must have read on facebook that mine took a shit and bought me a new one right away. What an awesome guy, eh?
*sigh* I thought this was going to be a longer entry but I just can’t do it tonight. I’m tired. There’s nothing really left to be said. Nick starts school next Thursday! I can’t wait. =X I need the break from him like he needs to break from me.
Alright. I suppose this will end this post. I’ll write more as soon as more happens.
