Hi Kingfish hope you are feeling better.Was worried bout you.My reference to stability in post well meant the sedative effect of adjusting to med increase and a patch of normality before I hit the pleasure zones
Pdoc said I have strong tendancy to get manic depression think he mentioned cyclothmia but maybe my environment plays a big part because I get more longer depressive states and less euphorc out of control states. Outside I can switch-usually to irritation.
So he said I'd be on seretonin reuptaker for life but one ad isn't enough so maybe adding prozac.
If i get too high he will add lithium.
Thing is I need the creative surges and sometimes the 'milder depressions to paint.He seems to understand this.
He doesn't seem to be worried about my hypomania (I've done worse things drunk) it's the irritation and anger that worry me but efexor seems to control my anger to large extent.
Because I don't get external influences stay home most of the time I'm ok at the moment-well I think so?? so mood stabilizer a no no.
No hallucinations maybe strong illusions .
Rambling tonight. Take care hunnypot ;)
