Ah, Kat, kind words will get you, what? not a day off tegretol, I'm afraid. Are you tolerating the Tegretol any better now that you've been on the new stuff that supposed to counterat the side effects for awhile?
In truth, yesterday I did make mistakes, of course, because it was the first groupmeeting. I've facilitated groups before, but it's been awhile and I was essentially a newbie. I was so focued on making sure that all ten people had a chance to talk that the discussion never got off the ground, so we are swinging the so called discussion over to the next meeting.
The only time I may have been "Toped" was when I couldn't find the closing words I'd so carefully chosen and read instead some sort of gibberish that nobody understood. That's OK, we were all of the age where senior moments occur and a couple of people have hearing problems. It's over.
And I talked too much at check in, where we go around and say what's on our mind at the moment. I think I'm on the verge, if not into hypomania, so that I may need more than 300 mgs of Topamax, especially since last night I fell flat on my face into dark, dark depression. (That makes no sense at all!) This morning I was re reading posts (instead of grocery shopping, this is bad) and I came across one of yours where you cried, "Somebody make it go away!" at the end. This was when you were going through all that torture with the neurologist and the sleep deprivation and the eegs. Anyway, that's how I felt last night--it being the flat black dark.
What do you guys know about provigil? Anybody been on desyrel (generic trazodone)? The trzadone is what I've got for depression right now. Not enough.
Also, Merry? Are you still with us? How's it going for you?
