Maybe my sights are a bit low for Miracle.

But Provigil seems a miracle to me. It keeps me awake without my really feeling anything else. If you add my prn Risperdal and an ability to monitor my mood states, I seem to be able to keep myself at relative stability. It may be small as miracles go, since I can't use Risperdal long term because of my diabetes, and since I seem to have gotten dependent on Provigil.

But after so many years of Luvox and mood stabilizers and general instability, it feels like a miracle to me to go to the pdoc and tell him everything's ok, I just need a renewal.

Well, I guess maybe it bothers me a bit that Risperdal and Provigil taken at the same time seems to work wonders for anxiety or suicidal ideation or depressive mood swings or meltdowns. But my pdoc said if it works go for it. That it was fine to do if it reset my brain to where it needed to be.

A small miracle maybe. But I'm ok with small miracles.
