Thank you Drew for your very detailed reply and history. It helps. After talking with my Doc I have decided to stay with the 6mg patch but not cut it in half at night.. thus I will have the full 6mg throughout the day. I slept Ok this way last night. My doc felt with me cutting the patch at night to help with sleep I was ending up with say 4.5mg for the day which was just not a high enough dose to help me. I have decided to see if I can handle the anxiety at this dose until this Sunday. If not I will likely try the 9mg patch for a week. The anxiety I have felt has been very tough to deal with and it wears me down so much and makes me feel so hopeless. Two days ago was the most I've felt depressed in some time. Scared me as the dark thoughts came quickly and I thought the very worst.
I am on a medium dose of Lithium and Seroquel. Sometimes I wonder if the Lithium is depressing me.
