Fresh out of the hospital - Bipolar Disorder Message Board

So much for a great 3 year stretch...

I posted earlier in the week I think. I needed a med adjustment, and I was upset about it. When I called my doc, he was out of the country, and wasn't coming back until the 9th of Feb. I called the doc covering for him, and he woulddn't help. I tried to cope w/no med changes to no avail, and ended up going to the hospital for a med adjustment. I was just so jumpy and disorganized. My mood was so mixed, it was like cycling every 5 minutes. Yuck! I didn'y miss that at all.

I feel a bit better, but must admit I am a little disapointed it had to come down to this. I talked the doc into letting me out today ( went in Monday night). I feel better than I did, and was going nuts not seeing my baby. My regular doc will be back soon too. They raised my trileptal to 150 mg am, 75 mg afternoon, 300 mg at night. Plus, I 'm still on topamax, restoril (prn), klonopin (prn).

Thanks for the posts to my other message. I am so glad to back to my home and baby (and husband too)....not to mention my own bed. I wish everyone else well.

I am glad you are feeling better. I find that when I have stayed in the hospital for a few days that when I come out I feel like I can somehow start over. Good Luck
