Hiho folks!
well this year between this and that illness and misadventure and brain chemicals and iatrogenic issues, i had been depressed for a good while. I stopped the Topamax which seemed to be giving me brief but bad (otherwise unexplained) depressive swings. I was told not to alter the Zoloft at the same time but i was forgetful so i ended up having less of it, and since i felt "ok" or a little better, we chose to reduce to 75. Doc said i was having a reaction to being depressed for so long. Today he changed his tune. Well my mood has gradually swung to the other side. Now having to watch the spending, gorging on chocolate... (impulse control issues). Of significance, both parents have remarked my recent agitation / being overexcited. Today my pdoc seemed thoroughly amused the entire session and adjusted my meds again (less zoloft - i will be on a minimal dose). He said if things seem to progress more, since i wont' see him next week, to reduce it more... well ain't much more reducing i can do except stop LOL. Things still seem mild enough to me... the only downside really being i get distracted and have a lot of confusion in my head (too many projects/goals) and end up weird places because i space out whenver i go out - was half an hour late for therapy last week because of it - OOOPS!    Oh and insomnia prolly for same reason. getting abotu 3-4 hours a night, get tired bouts but then too agitated to sleep...But, all in all it is such a relief to experience this energy and positive mood. i may have to hand over all spending material but for a 10 or so to the folks... prollem is i still want to get something for dad... no idea what or when... making a novel project won't be ready in time. also helping with computer but i want something ... something i dunno... i have been going out much more between getting stuff and appts. i just love this season for the colors normally but the cold hit suddenly so the trees did not do a very colorful thing... they barely had time to react before their leaves all dropped off... but i have scarves ... and i am making up for it by wearing the colors of the trees in fall... haha... i see way too many people already in dark "winter uniforms" due to the snowfall.... almost see it as a mission to go out and liven up the scenery with bright and warm glows of burgundy red orange and gold, YES!  ~ waves ~ see but i am making sense. i am not a goner.
