I've take some form of antipsychotic ever since my first manic episode six years ago. I think getting off of it will restore some of my emotions that have been bulldozed so far. Keep us posted on your progress!Philip Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355223399463099220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-1159326296086737152006-09-27T05:04:00.000+02:002006-09-27T05:04:00.000+02:00Pretty little med-picture you have (lovelier than ...Pretty little med-picture you have (lovelier than mine anyway): for now, my cocktail is 50mg Zoloft and 5mg Abilify.

Feels great so far. My doc agreed it was time to let it go. The Lamictal is doing its job so far.

When you let that self-control filter go and start living in the here-and-now again, that's when it gets dangerous. Good luck with the meds modification. For me it's always just been cold turkey, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've got a well-stocked liquor cabinet and, yes, beer in the fridge to keep my wilder impulses at bay. Believe it or not, I don't get crazy when I'm drunk anymore. I don't even get drunk: two drinks and I'm falling asleep. Maybe you should try herbal teas at bedtime. Chamomile and spearmint are good in combination with some rosehip, orange flowers etc. My favourite is Celestial Seasonings' Sleepytime Tea.kodeureumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453446422688765648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16268336.post-1159282522096982642006-09-26T16:55:00.000+02:002006-09-26T16:55:00.000+02:00I wish you good luck with that.
