BIPOLAR BYPTES -

I have three posts and they overlap...  I cannot in truth say that one is more dedicated to one subject ore than another....I have many interests...most of them developed after early retirement from a major corporation due to having been dusted with the challenges of a mental disorder.  That would be Bipolar I, rapid cycling.  I aim to dedicate this one to all things specific o the bipolar disease.  Right now I am not sleeping.  I have Clonazepam to take .  We have done exhausting trials of all sleeping meds.  Yes, we did a sleep study which revealed nothing.  Since I have permission from my pdoc to adjust my meds slightly and tapering....it occurs to me to cut back on my antidepressant and see if it would help me to not stay up all night cleaning, reading, doing paperwork, etc,  So today I cut back from two Wellbutrin to 1 and cut out the Abilify which had been prescribed since the depression was really bad.   I've felt tremendously good for the fast three weeks so perhaps I'm hypomanic. again...racing thoughts.  I have been rapid cycling every three to four days though...something which I intend o discuss with my enterologist tomorow.  Let you know how it goes. m
