Sorry all, I just need to talk and vent. Sorry Dr. Bob if this is the wrong board.
Well, it doesn't seem as if the Seroquel is working as a mood stabilizer. I think I've been rapid cycling. On the past two Wednesdays I've been high as a kite. I mean I felt good! I felt sped up and happy, everything else was going too slow. I was just the sexiest thing alive. And there was constant noise in the back of my head. Does that sound like hypomania?
Then the next day I was back to normal, and I hated it. Even worse, two days later I was mildly depressed.
My husband doesn't like the highs or lows and wants me to go on a mood stabilizer to make it stop. But I love the highs! I think its worth the lows. I just can't stand being "normal" now. I'm ready to cry big tears.
If I tell my pdoc (I see him thursday) he'll probably put me on Depakote. He doesn't believe in any of the other anti-sezure meds (lamictal, trileptal, etc). I've been on topamax and didn't like it.
So, I hope I'll have one more good Wednesday before I go back to "normal."
just venting :-(
