Okay, so Pup talked to the p-doc yesterday and he surprised us by NOT taking the rest of my Zoloft away, but going ahead and adding the anti-psychotic... I'm rather okay with this, lol.
Of course then Pup and I got into a fight because she doesn't understand that I know the difference between what's really going on in my head and what's the meds... she also (and this I understand) doesn't get how taking the anti-d down can make the 'manic' symptoms worse. I tried to explain that since the anti-d was for the PTSD and social/agoraphobia it meant my body/psyche was on more alert, which meant I couldn't control the impulses and twitches and stuff that I could otherwise. Then she said that it was "a very wise man who said, 'BiPolar was the most selfish of diseases'" and got pissed because I was waiting to check my e-mail until she finished talking, apparently that meant I was annoyed and didn't want to talk to her, which is funny because if I go ahead and check my e-mail then I'm not paying attention and am more interested in the computer than her... *head spins* Are all women like that?
Anyway, the p-doc has put me on Seroquel, so we'll see what that does. Oh when Pup talked to him she managed to get him to understand why the BP fell second to the other stuff with my other docs! He even said that there may come a time when we have to make a similar choice. I was shocked, he understood... I like this guy, lol.
