I am being put on Tegretol after the failure of increased doses of Geodon. Anyone have any experience with this?

We do not need Gibson’s blue-eyed voice at a time like this.

Frustrations

I haven’t written a decent poem in several months.

Everytime I increase my dose of Geodon, I am afflicted by new and interesting side effects.

I am alone for most of the day tomorrow and have no idea what to do with my time.

Had to cancel a trip to the Palm Springs Tramway and, besides, the web site is down.

Was so drowsy that I had to leave my DBSA meeting.

The cats choose to fight on my chest.

I can’t nap on command to pass the time.

It’s too wet outside to do any crafts to while away the time.

The MP3 Maker program isn’t installing right.

I am having to go off of Lithium and the Geodon just isn’t cutting it as a successor.

I watched the movie I got from Netflix and now have nothing to do all evening.

The periodontist found two cavities last week, on a morning when the drowsiness afflicted me especially badly.

I didn’t dare be happy because I kept expecting one more bad thing to happen.

I haven’t written any long bloggings of late.

I was disqualified for the Blogathon because no one sponsored me.

I think I am falling into a depression.

Pinhead Meds

Posted on July 29, 2006 in Psychotropics

Getting the meds without side effects is like having to push a button the size of a pin head in a closely packed field of other pin heads without disturbing its neighbors.

A Free Man

Posted on July 28, 2006 in Mania

The lesson that I have derived from my manic episode is this: The disease can throw us out of kilter, but we can decide what our behavior will be. I declare myself a free man.
