Finally (hopefully) Stable!

I just was discharged from the hospital today and I think the med combo is finally right. And this hospitalisation went soooo much better than the last one because I knew what I was going in for so there weren't as many anxiety attacks/crying spells this time. Anyway, the combo as it stands is:
600mg. Seroquel (500mg. at night, 50mg. in the morning, 50mg. in the afternoon)
400mg. Lamictal (200mg. at night, 200mg. in the morning).
0.5mg. Ativan in the morning.
0.5mg. Ativan in the afternoon PRN
1mg. Klonopin in the morning.

I guess the real test of stability for me this time was Sunday (my birthday) because not only was I in the hospital instead of out with my friends or something, but also Mark (adoptive father) didn't call, which would have sent me into a depressive episode under circumstances pre-med. change. SO I think the combination's right now. And because of Mark's lack of caring, I've decided to e-mail him stating that for now, I'm not talking to him any longer...this was just the last straw....But anyway, less agitation/anxiety which I credit to the Seroquel 'cause that's the only med. my pdoc messed with. So I'm going to stay home from school tomorrow and maybe Thursday to just get back on track and get some of my make-up work finished so I know where I'm starting in all of my classes when I go back, and I'm going to try really hard to take things slower this time and not to panic about missing work and the like. Plus applying to colleges is on the horizon (I realllllly need to get started) so I'm going to have to keep that stress level down as well.

So that's what's going on here - how are y'all doing?

Re: Finally (hopefully) Stable!

Paige!!!!! Your back!!!! I'm so glad that your stay was better this time and they have you on a good combo now. I'm more glad that you're much better and you sound it from your post. I'm so happy for you. I pray that you continue to stay well. Good luck on the school work and your right don't stress over it so much. I don't think you really missed too much..you'll catch up with everyone and I know were all excited to see you back and better. I myself was away for a few days and when I got back I felt lost and like I missed out on so much.

Re: Finally (hopefully) Stable!

That's great news, Paige!!! We were all wondering when you were going to be back!! I am glad that they were able to get to the right combo for you and that your usual triggers were held at bay with this combo!!

Yipppppeeee!!! And I put on my party hat to wish you a very Happy 18th Birthday!!!

You sound so much better and I was getting real antsy here waiting for your update and am so glad to hear all this good news.

Remember to take things slow and one thing at a time....going back to school is due to put on more stress so take it all in stride and know that we are here if you need to vent.

I can't tell you how great it is to hear all this good news. There are a few new stickys on the board since you left....us mom's are posting on the Parenting board for support so I just wanted to let you know that in case you see less of me over here. But I intend on keeping a close watch on this thread and you know that you always have my love and support!!!

Love and BIG welcome back ((((((HUGS)))))) ~ Goody

Re: Finally (hopefully) Stable!

I just read the new Stickies...so I'll keep track of y'all on the other forum. But anyway, thanks for the positive thoughts.

And as far as Mark's concerned, I just think I really need to sever contact with him, at least for a while...I can't put too much hope into thinking he'll change because the chances he will are slim as he's too much of a narcissist.

As for BP, EYES, I created my own chain while in the hospital that I've noticed is a reliable way to see episodes coming on:

Anxiety leads to Agitation leads to Episodes. So basically, everytime I start to feel overly anxious, I now know I have to step back and regain my sense of self so the chain reaction stops before it really gets started.

Oh, and Tsohl - I use "ditto" all the time so no need to feel outdated. XD
