We've all been so busy with school I thought we mightconnect here before anywhere else.
Im on the 3rd pdoc and looking for a 4th. pretty discouraged at the moment.
In the mean time Im self medicating and ive got a drawer full of meds to do it.The last pdoc mumbled something about BP (youve said that all along,)
Iam still on WB xl. He wants me to stop and go on benzos an lithium. Hes nuts.
The lithium is a good fit I figure and long overdue.
The WB was inducing mania and im definately not sleeping. But I cant function on benzo'z. I dont know what this guy is thinking. Im moving on.In the mean time. Im staying on the WB, I take it a 7:00 am. Im exausted by 5:00pm, and my nerves I fried. But if i can make it till bed time, Im good. (I can always use the benzos if Im really a wreck right?
He told me to take the lithium at bedtime 450mg.
But Ive started to take a half of one in the morning also. I notice my nerves feel a little calmer.
So thats my plan till I find another pdoc
WB xl am
Lithium am and pm
Neurontin am and pm
xanax or ativan as needed
What do you think? Does this sound like a good BP plan?I still feel like theres a ADHA or OCD aspect, but cant fine tune any further till I find a pdoc I like.
