I just don’t like all the side effects these medications have. It’s enough to make someone who doesn’t have anxiety develop it. Anyway, today I spent most of my time in bed. I can’t seem to stand for long periods of time because I get uneasy on my feet and if I sit for long periods of time I get Charlie horses (cramping) in my toes, feet, legs, and hips. I can’t say that I was majorly depressed today but a lot of that was probably due to the amount of medications I now take.
I’m a 46 year old man who’s been dealing with Bipolar my entire life. It wasn’t until 2013 that I was diagnosed and this blog is my story. As you’ll see there’s been many lapses in my posting but I’m going to try and get back with it. I’ve had a lot of trouble during my lapses but I continue to remain optimistic about my bipolar hence the title Optimistic Bipolar.

Day 35 "Tonight I Start Larger Dose Of Seroquel"
Last night I went to bed at 1am and slept till 11am this
morning. I slept pretty sound which was
a good thing. Tonight I start the 300mg
XR Seroquel. I’m sure it’s going to hit
me like a freight train and that I’m not looking forward to. It’s like being drunk but worse. I’ve smoked marijuana before and have NEVER
felt like I do when I take these prescribed drugs.
However, I will give it some time to see how I actually feel in a month
or two.
