Guess who's bipolar?
Me! Little ol' me.
Dr. Yeow didn't say it. He just accepted it when I said I was cycling pretty high these days and in a way that has nothing to do with a peloton. Or Lance Armstrong. I described my symptoms and my shockingly shameful behavior lately, which I have been too ashamed to blog, on my farewell tour or not.
He changed my medication. Dr. Yeow is always very careful in changing my medication. He also knows that I am not always a compliant patient. If it's a complicated dosing regimen, I usually manage the morning but the rest of the day is lost.
One thing I have realized about this blog is that I use it as an emotional crutch. Personally, I think it's a good thing. Especially since I've come home every day this week and gobbled everything edible in sight (excluding the cats and their food).
Maybe I'm like Cher - taking another farewell tour? Too hard to say goodbye?
Because right now, I'm thinking maybe I don't want to make a whole lot of changes at once.
My head hurts.
Oh - Mark - email me.

I, for one, am pleased.
Is it Abilify? it IS the gold standard.
@Queen - No, not Abilify. It's Depakote, an anti-convulsant (WTF?). It's been around for ages. We shall see.
Depakote dampens mania. I assume there's something else for depression?
It may take a while to take effect.
Wow. I just noticed the title change. Marie was quite an interesting person. I suspect you aren't taking after her (but if you are, are you willing to share some of them?)
Dorothy was one of my favorites. "You might as well live."
@Silk - Yes, have been taking Wellbutrin for depression but here I have not been as compliant as I should have been. Dr. Yeow wants me to take the Depakote at low, low dosage for a week and then if I don't convulse to death, to proceed to the low dose.
@Silk - Oooh, that's perfect! Yep, I think I'm changing it again. That is a woman's prerogative, no? To change her blog title as often as she changes her hair color. And often for the same reason.
