I'm not sure. It could be both looking for that 'benign' hypomania that was discussed earlier, but there is also dull fatigue and the feeling I am on a forced march (or one of those forced swim tests).
I feel very dim and anergetic (low low energy) with anxiety as well. I am struggling with feeling of being beyond the pale of psychiatry right now. I could be ill with depression.
I remember your post about the hypomania, and I think the observations you made are still very valid. I'm not sure I could physically withstand being hypo. But to feel a little will would be great.
I am, in the midst of this, considering lamictal not only for mood stability, but it is, I think, a glutamate suppressor. Fibromyalgia tends to create a sensitivity to and excess of glutamate. Something
that will inhibit (or not create too much) NE might be beneficial as well, given the ptsd. Oddly, ptsd, as my understanding
of the current research goes has a high sensitivity to NE and low cortisol levels.I might jettison the idea of an AD, which I find a sad thought, for a stabilizer and something like proszin (sp?) for sleep. It is an NE antagonist.
I feel like a sensitive canary with meds :-/
Yeah. So I don't know, Dinah. Thanks for
speaking up.I dig a pony.
