Maybe you could try to give the pdoc some specific examples about the dreams, and tell him why you don't want to adjust the meds. Does he know how it makes you feel every time there's a med change? 'Depersonalization', or the feeling that you're not yourself, is experienced by many people when reducing or getting off an SSRI, and docs don't seem to know about this effect. Can you try your best to describe how weird it makes you feel? He might be able to reduce the med reeeaally gradually....

Hope some of this helps, and I do wish you the best when you see your pdoc.

thank you for your advice

Hey hun - my new found friend - back to practising what we preach - Im never good at offering the doc info, coz i dont actually know whats relevent or not- |know from being on site that theres alot more I should be telling him, so im gonna try it this time.
Remember this isnt a court case, youre not on trial, hes there for your benefit. TRy telling him what u posted yest - at worst print it out & give it to him.
I dont mention little things as i feel my probs are insignificant in comparison to others - (only slightly symptomatic!!)who the hell am I to judge? Thats why I go see him! There are so many related conditions that something else you may say, will help him to help u further.. I love my mania dont wanna let go of it-cant function without it. Just gotta find the balance - even if u sit there and babble, they will manage to get the info out of you..
My shrink reports its very hard to keep me on track..Ha ha..
Chin up - go do it - ifyou get yrself in a state, you always come out saying **** forgot to mention that..
Hey I get exactly the same way, I think he wont believe me and im making it all up - its painful as well..cant be a long appointment coz they dont do them!! Get it over with - apologies for back babbling...

I was going to suggest that you write it all down the way you wrote it yesterday, or print it out. You did good explaining it then. If your mind is racing you may need an adjustment in your meds. Be sure to tell him about that. No one should have to suffer with racing thoughts.

are you on trazadone or serequel by any chance...i keep dreaming little black babies with knives are chasing me when i sleep. seriously...i wake up soak and wet lol...but i have been told sleep meds can do it. hugs

I used to take rozerm and trazadone but have currnetly stoped because I thought that mayy be the problem. But it has continued even gotten worse(when i do actually sleep). They are nothing scary or even weird most of the time. Just things about people that may happen. I just took a xanax so my mind is a little clearer
