Well, I'm back. I am so much better than I was yesterday. I actually got to get to sleep last night and, for the first time in a long time, I slept throughout thenight without waking up. The only thing that concerns me is that i woke up almost upside down in my bed. Must of been having some pretty crazy dreams last night.
I went to see my doctor yesterday because things were just not right. Well I got there and unfortunately, my doc wasn't available. I had to see the OD (thats what they call the well basically doctor of the day at the veterans hospital that I go to,) which i wasn't really too happy about. I've had bad experiences with the OD before. Actually I liked this doctor. In fact, I think I might like this doctor more than the one that I usually see. Well anyway, she upped my dosage of Risperadone from 1mg a day to 2. I also get the shot of Risperadal every other week of 25mg. I was not too confident that this would work. It seemed to me the problem was with my gabapentin. It seems like since I started the Gabapentin that the racing thought have been more and that my mood swings have come more often and more severe. I started on 600mg twice a day, then increased over the last two months to 600mg four times a day. The last dosage increase was about two weeks ago or so and since that things seemed to get much worse. I expressed this to the doc but she said to try the uppage in risperadone first. I'm meeting with my regular doc next week so I guess if there is any problem I will tell him. These cocktails are a little confusing to keep up with.
Well, I'm still skeptical. Just because it worked one night doesn't mean it will continue to work. I guess I just gotta keep possitive.
