I was very tired when I woke up this morning, so I didn't take any Seroquel. My symptoms started increasing once I got out of the shower, but they never rose to the degree that they had been at before.

I had an appointment with pdoc this morning....
Yesterday was proof that Seroquel is working.
I guess I just needed enough in my system.
The plan just needs a little tweaking:

400mg at bedtime for now
50-100mg as needed in the morning

I'll have to fill 2 different prescriptions, but since I found a new pharmacy and coupons, this will not be cost-prohibitive.

------

I met with my case manager yesterday and she's very, very nice.

I've filled out paperwork so that she, my PCP, psych, my husband and sister can communicate with one another regarding my care should the need arise (it has before). But communications with my therapist are restricted.

Why?
I've had 5 appointments with pdocs since I was released on the 2nd following a 10day stint in the psych ward. I've lost count of the phone calls.
2/2 hospitalizations in the last 8 months for mania....
BPI, not BPII.

I'm in one of those rather euphoric, high-functioning hypomanias at the moment. Not depressed.
I'm being realistic, practical, and planning. Not for the inevitable, but for the "what if's."
