Too Much Medicine?
Hello world,
When I last left the hospital for a manic episode my medication made me feel perfectly normal.
As time went by I started feeling run down and tired in the afternoon plus I've been sleeping longer, sometimes twelve hours.
I think underneath the medication, my mania has subsided and I'm different than when I was first released from the hospital. My new self doesn't have the energy it did and I'm "underwater" when I take all the medication it used to take to make me feel normal.
I have been holding on and taking the entire dose as prescribed but I'm thinking that this isn't acceptable. In order to drive a car I resort to drinking coffee.
Have you ever been in this state and what did you do?
Thanks,
BP
