Ok, so here it is. Everytime I miss my meds by 24or48 hours I sleep like crazy. I take lamictal 200, effexor 150 and seraqual 100 or as needed for sleep. I feel like crap if I miss a dose or even worse if I miss two. sometimes I wonder if it makes the mania and depression even harder to get over. my present mania has been lasting almost two weeks. up and down and really down. now all this F-ing sleep. I kinda feel like fainting or crying right now. just all icky and gross. I cant think straight and today I got up at ten am and now it is three pm. I took the meds today hours ago and feel so sick-like. I hate it! I have a man to take care of and an apt. as well. I cant even work right now, the holidays always drive me mad. And I am supposed to be trying to get a job asap. I feel like it is all my fault for now having enough drive, for sleeping three or four days out of the week. Guilty, Guilty, Guilty! It makes me wish I would just dissapear. Is this Hell? Why does anyone even tollerate me? I hate myself right now.

Yea, I think that when you miss your meds, it takes a while for it to rebuild in your system. I know, it sucks. I do think these times around the holidays are really especially tough. I think winter time is especially tough on people too. Well, hopefully your meds start kicking in again soon so that you'll be feeling better!!!
