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.

And she has you possibly going up to 750.
(Did I get the math right)?


How do you feel about that?

Yes, there's the possibility of going up to 750, but...

I took the 600mg dose for the first time last night without any side effects and woke up this morning without any obvious hypo symptoms

The witching hour (noon) has passed and I haven't had to take a prn. Although, I did need a Xanax this morning.

I've been consciously trying to stay away from any ambitious cleaning projects, and I'm finding it a lot easier to sit still.

But it's just one day.
And my husband may notice sx I'm not aware of when he comes home from work.

Then again, progress is progress. I think this an excellent turn of events.

Kay
