Hi Lamdage.
My manias were indeed severe and overtly psychotic. Religiosity was the major theme. Mania for me is generally dysphoric. Parnate more so than Nardil. Although I was energetic and industrious at the beginning of each mania, the mania became destructive as it grew more severe. I lost my job and my marriage.
My depression has eased this morning. I took a 10 mg dose yesterday. It was too much all at once. I thought I could take a loading dose. I was impatient. I was left dizzy and sedated. It wasn't pleasant. I'm okay now, and will remain at 10 mg/day taken in divided doses.
Thanks for reminding me about metformin. If I have the same weight-gain and triglycerides issues with Saphris that I had with Abilify, I will ask my doctor about it.
I'm not volunteering right now. I left my position last August when my mother had spinal surgery. Afterwards, I had my bout with septic shock. The commute was getting too expensive, anyway. My guess is that I will feel employable later this summer as I eventually discontinue the Parnate and move on to Trintellix and Effexor.
Do you have a plan in place to treat your condition(s)? Have you reduced your dosage of Seroquel?
I always appreciate your kind concern.
