Day One of Vyvanse is complete. What a fucking weird-ass day.
So, I guess this blog is going to be me trying to figure out where I am going in life. How to open the pandora's box of feelings that I've locked away for over a year. And evaluating these pills. This whole things is confusing, I just don't know what I'm doing. What exactly I want to achieve, I say it's time to open that box, but damn. I am afraid of that box. Part of me loves to be indifferent, to not care about anything. It's easy and convenient. But it also turns me into a cold, unfeeling, unpredictable, completely bitchy psychopath. And people don't like that.
So, here I am on the yellow brick road. Fresh diagnosis, fresh pills pills pills. :/
Bi-polar II.
Lamictyl 100mg
Xanax 1mg
Vyvanse 20mg
Remeron 15mg
That's my beginning dosages. Started 6/10/2012.
I do not respond to SSRI's.
2005- Zoloft made me FAT. 50lbs heavier in 6 months, it's taken me 3 years to lose 30 lbs from that disaster. It didn't even work, turned me into a zombie, constantly searching for food and baking cake. I HATE sweets, always have, but Zoloft loves sweet treats. Remeron doesn't help, it loves carbs. (Which Jill also loves. Yumm)
So, here we are at Lamictyl, promises that I will not gain weight. Coupled with Vyvanse I have zero interest in food, yay. :)
PS- I've been on Remeron for 7 years, I use it for sleep only. Doctors keep attempting to get me off of it, to which I run screaming. It is a crutch, a major one and I am petrified to let it go.
