De pakora wasn't cutting it and I was spinning out of control as you can read from my posts. I had to go back to what has given me stability.
This weekend my husband had a talk with me and I promised him I would take the Trileptal dose the doctor gave me. I'm working up to 1200mg. So far I'm at 750mg and I feel a complete difference. Tonight is 900mg. Finally, no more anxiety attacks and I can even tolerate a morning cup of coffee.
I have an appointment with my pdoc today and I have to be honest with her about my non-compliance. I see her again in 2 weeks and I should be on 1200mg by then.
I'm also taking low dose Geodon for depression.
It's hard to grasp being a mixed BP. I hate it. But the medicine does work. So far, after 4 days no swelling. My husband says maybe the dose the doc gave me won't cause the side effects.
So, I'm being compliant for once in my life. My husband is really supporting me on this.
