> THIS IS NOT OKAY. These meds, at least some, are way over the limit. No wonder you feel in a haze. And, there is the potential for a drug reaction of significant negative consequences. I had that happen to me when I started to slur my speech, became confused, disoriented, and developed all sorts of other stuf besides not being able to remember anything 10 minutes later.
were you cognizant of that? I will tell H to watch out for that stuff with me. Not that I haven't been confused and disoriented for the last 5 months, but still... slurred speech is a dead give-away.
> You need to talk to your Pdoc (email) from where you were in school and also your therapist from before and tell them your symptoms. My God; what are these people doing to you.
Hmm, well former pdoc had me on 240mg too (and 1.5mg of klonopin) when I got out of the hospital. About 6 weeks of that and I seemed more "well" and I went down to 240. Kind of dismaying to go back up to the high doses. I have always been treated with pretty aggressive pharmacotherapy, and responded pretty well. I hope that this increase in doses is transient. Perhaps old pdoc noticed in my records that I seemed to get my footing back when I was on high doses, and thought he'd try the same approach, since I'm slipping again.

Thanks for your concern, Ozland. I'm going to talk with T about this. I feel comfortable talking about my symptoms in some detached clinical way. I don't feel comfortable calling him in a crisis. I will try to talk about that too next appt. this is really hard :( Shoot. maybe I have to write it out. (and not on my arm either).

p.s. typing is kind of goofy. frustrating. but my word-finding is okay for now. just the apathy and deadness which mimic a deep depression. and fatigue.
