I'm rapid cycling and my pdoc added klonopine p.m.

Posted by hundredhugs on March 6, 2004, at 9:54:22

I am so frustrated! I told my pdoc that I didn't think the klonpine (at night) would help with the cycling that I am having. I am rapid cycling during the day. My sleep is off but not as bad as it could be. I can cycle even if I am sleeping. She apparently didn't want to change anything. I am on lamical and topomax for mood stabilizers and I just don't feel like the combo is working for me. I AM SO TIRED OF CYCLING! I keep going up up up. I have periods of "normalcy" inbetween, then crash. It is exhausting me. I max out my prn's. The risperdal brings me down but I can't take anyone of it (maxed out). I have been occasionally forgetting my morning meds which is typical of me when I start to cycle and she does want me to have a risperdal shot. At first I was opposed, now I am for it. I have about crossed the line from hypomania to mania a few times and would prefer not to completly cross it. I am disappointed with my pdoc and don't know what to do. I am tempted to call her. She mentioned the visit before last putting me on lithium. I didn't want to do it. Now I am miserable to do it. I don't know if I should ride this out for 2 weeks or call her or pray for the best. I don't think she will put me on another new med without seeing me, and I just seen her on yesterday.

Sorry I am rambling, just looking for answers.
