Still no significant difference..

I imagine there is a chance that the oxca-whatever simply won't work when you mix it with alcohol. (That was my experience with depakine + alcohol, nothing particular happened other than the fact it didn't work)

Eh, could be. The info sheet however makes it sound more ominous.

Still, I was told it'd make me sleepy. That only happen like first 2 days, now I'm not even drowsy anymore. I slept ~5 hours last night, after having hot bath at 2 am, and woke up sharp with alarm.. I imagine my brain went through "New drug? Yeeah, fine.." during the first days, then just countered&ignored side-effects completely. <.<

Woke up my mom and next door neighbors screaming in my sleep last night. Immediately went into panic mode when I was alone. Have plans for lunch with an old friend so I'm sure that will go well. Perhaps I'll go to the gym later too. Just gotta keep holding on. My pdoc appointment is on Thursday and hopefully she'll be able to help with sleep.

Things are getting worse. My husband wants me to go to the hospital.

My psychiatrist reduced my antidepressant dose last week because he thought my self-reports of bad sleep, elevated anxiety/suspiciousness and mounting irritability pointed to a brewing hypomanic phase. 7 days later and for the first time in 6 weeks I took the dog for a walk without snapping at her once. So that was a welcome change. A relatively small change, but at least my usual patience is returning.

Kinda trying and failing to improve my mood. I'm very low at the moment. Its hard to think straight and impossible to concentrate. This in turn makes me frustrated at work.

Heard voices today bad enough to send me into a rage and panic attack. I was kinda hoping that my antipsychotic that has been working well for that would continue to work well. May ninjas protect me.

We're having similar problems. May ninjas protect us both.

Still badly depressed with serious warning signs of psychosis/mixed episode impending. Emailed a crisis center, I'm afraid to answer their responding email with a call. My family has stepped in despite me asking to be left alone...someone is home with me 24/7. I feel so suspicious of them it doesn't help. I am self-harming and having thoughts that are too triggering for me to share here.

That was ###$ scary. I just went from 0 to 100 and back within about a minute. There is terrifying rage within.

I was getting upset about my meds not working right and then I figured out it's not the meds that are the problem, it's the industrial strength painkiller I take for my wrecked back that's making me depressed. Phew.
