Sitting in my car next to Patrick we decide to get steaks at Logans rather than soup and salad at panera. It was a good choice because with my new medications I have sensational taste buds and an enhanced pleasure for life. What new meds? Well, please don't judge me but I finally agreed with my doctor to start taking .5 mg of Klonopin up to twice a day along with increasing my Celexa to 20mgs.
Why do I say don't hate me? Because Klonopin is a benzo and I have tried furiously to not get on one. But then I kept going to my doctors office in tears because the waiting room was to full, the grocery stores were to full, the movie theaters were to crowded. All this kept me homebound (I know many of you understand where I am coming from)
But here are the results I am most enjoying
...I live my day free of apprehension
...I am not having panic attacks before work
...Things like cleaning the home seem manageable
...I am feeling freer in the bedroom, not so self conscious
Disadvantage is that my insurance wont pay for the med so I have to pay it but it is only like $20. And it has the potential for abuse. I do not plan to abuse them so we're all good there.
Well, I am going to get dressed and bring Patrick breakfast at work.
Oh, come in
It is an honor to have you. The contents for this blog are from my personal experiences. Sometimes I will write about being bipolar and sometimes I won't.
I have been Bipolar I for 10+years and medicated for over 9. This blog looks into my treatment history, current therapies, my interest, recipes, love, music, and everything in between. I am hoping that those dealing with mental illness will find comfort, friendship, awareness, entertainment, and maybe even a few good answers. Most importantly, I hope those of you out there struggling will realize you are not alone.
