Pdoc told me that lamictal has an "anti-depressant-like quality" to it.
Definitely could be inducing hypomania then.

I'm glad you enjoyed your shopping :)

Hi, Bizi,

That makes sense about the lamictal.

Is the Cajun Cup the 10K run that you spoke about?

Take care,
M

Thanks mari, yes the cajun cup is the 10k run that I did last year.

I see my pdoc this wednesday.
Other than decreasing my lamictal I don't want to increase on the geodon. I do want to have a conversation about the restless legs.
Can't remeber if I told you that the RLS returned after weaning off o f the klonipin.
I remember having the RLS before and how the klonipin took that away.
AND I don't like the trazadone!!!!!

I just ordered some of my vitamins from amazon and saved a bunch of money!

Put the magnesium on a while before so it has time to absorb into wherever it goes.

I read that RestLess leg could be caused by lack of iron. But if your blood work is fine, you would not what to supplement with that

Quote:

Because of the marked improvement in RLS symptoms seen with drugs that stimulate the dopamine system and because of the RLS-like symptoms produced with drug that block the dopamine system, the dopamine system has been implicated in RLS.

Quote:

People shouldn't start taking iron supplements without a physician's advice, Dr. Connor cautions.

Quote:

The researchers are now focusing on studies to determine precisely how iron transport is altered in people with RLS, why the transferrin receptors are decreased, and how the iron deficit affects cells.

That was a great article from Johns Hopkins Mari.

I can't wait to see how the magnesium lotion works out, I hope it helps!

Well I made a decision to not take the trazadone last night and to take 2mg of klonipin. I slept like a baby. to skip the lamictal and double my dose of geodon to 80mg.
I slept like a log....It was great!
No restless legs, no dry mouth!!!!
I see dr, orazio tomorrow and will discuss the trazadone at great lengths.
I will still order the mag lotion.
have a good day y'all.

138 this morning, lowest I have been in years!
64 days AF....

Congratulations Bizi!!! And I'm so glad you slept well!!! :)
It sounds like the start of the perfect day! :)

yesterday I was falling off the fence. today is back to being my old self...some what anxious....
Had dinner with my friend stephanie and her hubby matt. We went and had pizza before the halloween concert, it was fun.

tonight I will just try 40mg of geodon and .5mg of klonipin, 200mg of lamictal no trazadone.
See if I sleep.

Good luck with these med changes, Bizi.

You seem to be figuring out things.
