Day 8 On Medication

Today was an overall better day than the last few.  I did have a crappy night of sleep last night and couldn’t fall asleep for the life of me.  I went and had my first Lithium level blood draw this morning and when I got home my energy was still pretty low but kind of got better after I ate and took my pills.  I took a nap and when I woke up my energy was low again but got a little better.  I went with my Mom to my Aunt’s house so she could see her for her birthday and after being there a while I felt pretty good.  My Uncle has a bunch of old slides and I brought them home to start transferring them on to the computer.  That activity really got me excited and my level of energy was elevated for three or four hours.  I got a little mouthy about a few people in a humorous way while at my Aunt’s which made me feel like I might be a little hypomania today.  Other than all that I drank a lot of water and didn’t binge or purge today.  My car is broke and have no way of fixing it and I managed not to stress over it today.  I feel like the Klonopin is doing something but I don’t feel like it makes me drowsy when I take the whole pill.  I’m going to ask the psychiatrist if she can up the day and night time dose a little.
