Ok so, first, I'm new. hi.
Second, I'm a mix of what's in the title. I've been talking with doctors and such but then moved around a bit so things are all jumbled up. My next Psychiatrist appt is at the end of July, I just started seeing a therapist and he wants to see me every week. So, that's in check. What isn't, is my mood. I'm all over the place. When I was first put on this cocktail of meds, it was fine, things seemed to be normal. Until..Seroquel. Seroquel has completely screwed my life over. I can't sleep without it, I'm 99% sure that my body is addicted to it. I'm not mentally, but when I don't have it, I clamber the pantries and near about overdose on sleeping meds cause I just cannot get to sleep. Then, speed up a little, to now, and my mood is whack. I'm Manic one day, depressed the next, and it keeps going in a cycle every day like that. It's like my meds suddenly stopped working. (And keep in mind I've been on most of these besides the Seroquel for 3 years) Seroquel entered about a year ago and my mood was not doing this. This is a recent, within the last 2 weeks kind of thing.
On top of that I'm completely addicted to cigarettes, I've tried vaping, I've tried everything and I know I should be posting in the nicotine MEGATHREAD, which I shall do in a bit, but since it's coupled with my mental health, I figured it would be able to be mentioned here.
As far as meds go:
2MG Clonezapam at night
900MG Lithium at night
200MG Seroquel at night
That's my mental health cocktail, I take two other meds for thyroid and high cholesterol, respectively. Annnd Birth control.
Anyone have any ideas how I can stay sane until the end of July? This is like a huuuuge shift in my mood. AND I am SCARED TO DEATH for them to take me off Seroquel, I was taken off a while back and put on Saphris. >_> Yea. That didn't work, I couldn't sleep at all, period. Like I said, trying to drug myself with whatever I could find that would make me sleepy cause I'd been up for like 2 days straight and when I'd try to sleep cold and hot flashes kept me up. ._. Ideas?
