Tonight starts my journey on Seroquel. I'm taking it at bedtime because I read that it can knock you out. Basically since the start of the summer I have been unmedicated for mental health, only taking some things for diabetes and UCTD. I have been in a very good manic state the entire time (completely positive experience) and even lost a lot of weight. I think finding Mastodon and writing a bunch has helped steer my mood in the right direction. I've never had a manic state last this long, especially with so few downsides.

The one thing I've been worried about, though, has been what happens if this mania turns negative or destructive. The only downside to my current state is I rarely sleep. Even though my body is super fatigued from the autoimmune disease, I'm wired wide awake all the time. I agreed yesterday it is probably best to go back on meds. I've been on most bipolar meds up to this point but never tried Seroquel because of the potential for weight gain. We will just have to see if my Mounjaro helps with that.

Et bien ça y est, la dose qui m'était prescrite en 300 à libération prolongée (LP) le soir est passé à 600 LP.

Sauf que le traitement est depuis hier soir en rupture pour m'en délivrer. Cette rupture concerne le niveau national et ça n'est pas près de s'arranger avant la fin d'année.

Donc plutôt que de prendre 2 comprimés de 300 LP le soir, je viens de passer à 2x150 LI (libération immédiate) le matin et 2x150 LI le soir, fabriqué par le pharmacien partenaire de ma clinique.

Et je commence déjà à en ressentir les effets de somnolance.

J'ai mis 5 minutes à écrire ce toot.
