Thanks Katy and Barbara,
I think you're right. I start worrying and fretting too soon. But, as you know, it's not w/o precedent. When you've been through what we've been through and as many meds, it's hard to be totally positive or secure.
I'm feeling good at 250 but my doc and I are pushing it up to 275 then 300 to see what happens. If it's no better I'll head back to 250, where I feel great for the most part. Last week I was a little higher than I liked one day and yesterday I felt a little low, so I started to feel alarmed, like it was no longer working.
And joke of all jokes, I had the thought that maybe I don't need any of these meds anymore. Dangerous territory, I know. Anyhow I also need my lithium and a small amount of seroquel at night.
It is interesting how different this disease appears in everyone and the different reactions to meds. My sister is bipolar as well and we respond to the same meds more or less, but she needs more of some and I need more of others.
Thanks,
Dalilah
