Feeling pretty shitty still....

BipolarPrincess

Went to the pdoc, and all she did was raise my meds. I am on only one med, and things are looking pretty crappy still. She didn't replace the med she had me on when I had to stop taking Lamictal. I only got a replacement med for the Seroquel that at 125 was making me too drowsy, if I got worse with the seroquel dose, I wouldn't be able to carry on my daily functions. I am so anxious and scared right now, I am starting to become suicidal. I am just tired of always being sick and scared ya know. Then again, I don't understand why the phone I clutch in my hands instead of the pillow every night makes a difference anyway. If people wanted to be out to get me, they could break down the doors. Ya know? But, here I am, just waiting for this shitty life to end, like everyone else who feels shitty right now. Help!

If you want me to give you a call let me know. I'd be happy to speak to you and I have unlimited rollover minutes on my cell. That goes for anyone who is feeling miserable and needs to hear another voice. I'm a good listener.

Do you have a good friend or family member you can call? Or even see if you can find a hot line to call?? Sometimes talking will help you through.

Bipolar, sorry to hear that you are having a rough go at things right now. If you like your pdoc, then phone him/her every day until something else is done. If you do not like your pdoc, then change quickly. When I was taking 200mg of Seroquel, I would sleep for 5-6 hours, feel drunk for 2-3 hours after waking, then have the worst hangover ever for another 2-3 hours. It sounds like you should definitely be on an antidepressant. So, either phone, phone, phone or change doctors.

Coming off seroquel can increase suicidal thoughts (like we need any help with not enough of those). I hated them. Call a family member or your Dr

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
