The boss lady put the smackdown on me yesterday for being on tumblr. Woe. It's not like I don't get my work done, but she doesn't like the way it looks. Bah, humbug. Must do better

You know, the strange thing is that I get deeper sleep without the clonazepam. The problem without it is the not being able to fall asleep until way late because my brain just won't. shut. up. I was on ambien under a different doctor long ago, so I think I'll ask my doctor if I can go back to that.
I'm one of those "diagnosed late in life"; I didn't get mine until about 6 six years ago, when I was 49. I'm a bipolar 2, so the manic sides not as severe, but the fact that it was so late means it's pretty resistant to treatment. I was on the highest therapeutic dose of Lamictal when I first went on medication, but it caused migraines that just would not end. I'd go to sleep with one and wake up with one, so I quit taking it after about a year. Last year I realized I really needed to be on something and got back on it. With the clonazepam, I was able to take a much reduced dose of the Lamictal, but now it's barely touching my anxiety and the depressive side is really breaking through. So, back to the doctor, if I can convince myself to make the phone call.
It really is nice to have someone who understands, so many people don't. They think it's all about will power and I wish they could have my brain chemistry for just one day.
