I DO!!!

I'm hypo!!! So, that's another side effect of the lithium increase. I guess it's unwanted, but it's hard to say that when I'm euphoric and have a ton of energy, while I'm normally dragging ***. I haven't taken a nap in 3 days!!!

This is actually not the first time I've washed the walls when I was hypo/manic. Aside from doing the bathroom, that's the only time I've done it. It seems like this is something I should have picked up on sooner.

I didn't wash any walls yesterday because my husband was still sore from Friday and didn't want to move the furniture, or have his TV viewing interrupted. I was/am very sore, but I was disappointed. I want to get this project done before I come down. I doubt I'll be able to finish it otherwise.


Bizi, I went back on the lithium because I needed to treat my depression, but I can't take an antidepressant. My options are limited because of severe side effects to other meds (ie/ Depakote, risperdal). I was given a choice between lithium and Zyprexa, and I agreed to take lithium in a low dose (300mg initially, 600mg now) because my problems, which were much worse than just tremor and acne, occurred at 1800mg.


I was up at 6am this morning. I have no idea when my husband will be up, but he didn't get up until 11 yesterday, and it's hard to stay still and be quiet until then. I would do laundry, but I'm worried if I went into the bedroom to sort through the hampers, I would wake him up.

The Pat's game is on at 1pm. Of course, I'm looking forward to it. I'll have to find ways to keep myself busy until then.
