I just got back from the mdoc after having my bloodwork read. He said the lithium levels are dead center, which works for me. We're also gonna cut the seroquel in half and see how 50mg a night does me.

Mari - I take my meds at 9:00pm and we go to bed at 10:00pm. By 10:00pm I am falling asleep on the couch many nights, so I'm not sure I can move up "taking my meds" without also moving up "going to bed". But it can happen if it needs to!

Dear Curly,
That's good about the lithium and the Seroquel.

Try taking your meds a two or three hours earlier and going to bed earlier.
It's a suggestion. (Maybe getting up won't be so hard with the lowered dose of Seroquel? Is that what you are expecting? I am not personally familiar with Seroquel.
This might sound weird, but you kind of have to have a conversation with your med and ask them to help you get to your job.

Yes, I'm expecting less seroquel = less sleepy in the morning. But regardless, I'll have that talk with lithium and seroquel on the way to work in the morning :D

What a cool idea! I'm definitely gonna do that. Light refreshments, of course. :circlelove:
