Back to Feeling Level

Hi everyone,

After feeling emotionally exhausted, taking a Clonazepam and sleeping for most of the day yesterday, I'm back to feeling level today. It feels so good not to be rapid cycling, manic or depressed for a change. Let's hope this new med (Clonazepam) will help keep me level so that I don't cycle between mania and depression. My pdoc would like to reduce my rapid cycling to once or twice a day and seems confident that this new med will do the trick. My next appointment with him is on Monday, so I plan to track my moods between now and then so I can let him know if this med is working as hoped. On another note, I found some extra money at home that I can use towards purchasing Clonazepam for the next 3 months. Needless to say, I'm a very happy camper!

Thanks, Kapula! It's now approaching 5pm here and I haven't rapid cycled all day, so that's definitely a good sign.

Re: Back to Feeling Level

Hey girl,

well at least someone has some good luck around here. Hell I'm still trying to figure out why God or the Universe or whatever people on this board believe in hates me so much and constantly throws my life in the hole. I'm just not sure it's worth it to do this anymore, it just doesn't feel like it is. I'm glad you found some $ so you can get your meds.

Kat

Re: Back to Feeling Level

Kat,

Try to hang in there, okay? Take things one day at a time. I know it's easier said than done, but do it for me and Seaturtle. Please?
