So what changes, if any, did your pdoc make in your medications? What did she say about Trileptal? Clearly you have been having trouble. What did she say about that? Are you still taking the Effexor? If I recall correctly, you were taking 50 mg Lamictal, 75 mg Effexor, 100 mg seroquel, and some benzo. What changes were made?

Were you in the hospital last week while you were blocked? I'm sure you read all the posts on this board regarding concern for your well being after somebody received an e-mail from you last week in which you expressed a less-than-eager outlook on life. I knew you would not hurt yourself because you are too bright for that. Did you miss class? Stay caught up in school Krissy. You did so well last semester! Now you need to do it again.
