Just got 7x 1mg tablets from my social worker!!! I had a hypomanic episode a few nights ago and was up until 3:00AM scrubbing my kitchen from top to bottom, so this is to help calm me down should such a thing happen again. I'm considering asking for some nitrazepam to replace the zopiclone because of early morning wakening. Hopefully it would help with daytime anxiety too. I was pleased when my social worker said she was going to make a point of asking pdoc to review the part of my notes that says "benzodiazepine misuse and dependence" because she feels I was actually self-medicating my manic episodes, and this shouldn't be classed in the same boat as recreational use.
My usual pdoc has hurt his back so next week's appointment was cancelled. Luckily my social worker managed to get his understudy to see me this Friday, and hopefully we're going to persuade him to prescribe Lamictal, with either Parnate or lofepramine as a mood-boost. Amisulpride and tianeptine aren't helping with motivation so I'm looking for something noradrenergic.
