I'd say call your doc. The rational part of you knows that unless you do something, there will be a crash, and it will not be pretty.

Hang in there and try not to listen to the manic side.

Nope, sounds like the best idea! Make that call, I mean - my pdoc will return a call, just Ask : )

(((BIG HUG))) I know it sucks.....

Call the pdoc. Since we all respond differently to the same meds then my experience probably won't be any help.

Nah. You already know the answer, just as you said.

But do you think maybe a sleep med might help, rather than a higher dose of an anti-psychotic?
Or wouldn't you want that anyway?

I don't think that way is 'better'.
I just know that's the angle my Pdoc comes from, when I'm hyper.
If I break that cycle of too little sleep, it seems to quell the other hyper/hypo symptoms as well.

Good luck!!!
You're already ahead of the game since you can see that it's happening!!!
Do everything you can to stop it, before any bad comes of it!!!!

Ok, Ok... I called her. Apparently I made an impression on the receptionist because she called me back in 2 minutes flat. I am to increase the anti psychotics fourfold.... from 20 to 80 mgs. Klonopin to 2 mgs 3 times a day. and Lunesta 3mgs at bedtime. Damn having insight into my illness..... I was having so much fun!

I hope the med increase works quickly sweetie.. I wish you could pass a little of the mania over here...xo

I wish i could keep some of it.... I was depressed for so long it just feels good to feel good. I wasn;t worried about it until I started getting hypersexual and wanting to spend money but that always means a full blown mania and the last thing I need is to go completely berzerk and start thinking I'm related to god again. At least my house is clean.....
