You were right, it was a good idea to go in.
I am escalating again. And today is worse than yesterday.

The plan is to increase the pm dose from 400-600mg, with an "as needed" daytime dose of 50-150mg, as tolerated.

Pdoc said that most of her patients do well with just a higher pm dose, but some do need to add a dose during the day.
I have an appointment with her next Wednesday. In the meantime, she's giving me the leeway to try and figure out which category I fall into.
And I can always return to the office if I have to.

I was still agitated and psychotic when I was almost maxed out on Abilify. Life is certainly imperfect at the moment, but at least I'm only exhibiting symptoms of hypomania. I'm not in the middle of a mixed/manic event anymore. And I'm not delusional.

Despite the escalation, I'm still encouraged because there's room to adjust the dosage. And I think the adjustments she made today are aggressive enough to make a difference.
