Hi Everyone, sorry its been a while since I last wrote. We haven't been doing the greatest lately these past 2 mnths. My son was diagnosed @ the end of January w/having Bi-Polar Tendencies, so he's now taking Zyprexa (2.5 mg tablet) @ between 6 - 630 pm, it has seemed to help him a lot & he's done very well on it so far. As for me I have been stressed out a great deal this past mnth (the mnth of March) for some odd reason, it all started March 5th. I went to see the Brian (the Psychologist) this past Monday on April 6th & sometimes he'll say to me when he come to get me from the waiting room " You Look Stressed Out " but on Monday he said " Your Stressed " & I told him that, that wasn't the word for it but part of it. So in my 1 on 1 session w/him that lasted the whole 50 minutes I told him that I was stressed out, being really snappy (short tempered) towards people & that the little stuff was just pissing me off & I was snapping @ people more often than what was the norm for me. He said that I wasn't my usual self & I told him that I don't think my meds where working anymore (that was the 1st thing I told him) so he looked on schedule of the Psychiatrist that my son & I see for our meds & she had a opening for this Thurs the 9th @ 830am, so I took the appt. Brian also said that I couldn't wait till my son saw her n two wks for his meds check (the 18th of this mnth), so I'm hoping that my appt. goes well w/her 2morrow, I will write another SharePost this Saturday & let you all know on how it went & if she put me on different meds or not, cause Brian did agree w/me that we each think/believe that my meds are not working and that people are irratating me more than what the usually do/did & pissing me off more than what they usually do, Brian also told me to try to keep my much shut & try not to snap @ people that piss me off & to just hang in their until I see the Psychiatrist on 2morrow & take it easy till I see him in May. Take Care Everyone & Have a Good Rest of the Week --- Heather & Son Kaleb

How good to hear from you again but I am sorry that you have been having a rough time over the past month or two.
It sounds as if you are making progress with your son and hopefully you now have him on the right track.
Hopefully, once you have your appointment tomorrow you will have some answers and have a positive way forward from here.
Let me know how the appointment goes.

Eileen, thanks for the comment, well she decided to put me on Depekot for now & left the Wellbutrin & Strattera at the dosage levels where they are at right now. when we first went into her office, she said " Well it looks as if we are having some mood swings "& I told her ya I guess so according to some people where I live at, cuz at work I'm not the same way as if I where at home even though my job's stressful on almost a daily basis. I told her that my landlord said that according to some people where I live at that I was snapping at them all the time, I told her the only time that I snap at them is when they tick me off. I have another appt (follow up) w/her (the Psychiatrist) on the 20th of this mnth to see how I'm doing on the new med & to see if my moods had been evened out so that I don't have such a short fuse w/some of the people where I live at & also w/my son at times. Take Care Eileen -- Heather
