Hey Katia--
Glad to hear from you as well! I guess I hadn't posted in awhile b/c I've been feeling better. You know, the Trileptal seems to be doing the trick (fingers crossed). I feel like myself again.
I think it's a good choice, as the side effects profile is LOW. I've had almost no side effects besides the tingly itchy feet. I do remember Lamictal doing that in the beginning, now.
The only thing that concerns me is the patchy rash on my wrist. Hmmm. And I really need to taper the benzo soon. I feel like I have re-bound anxiety in the A.M.
Yeah...hmm...the boyfriend thing was NOT fun. I did not enjoy hurting him ONE BIT. There had been some issues with him since the get-go that I was worried would get in the way of forming a more adult relationship (that I want!!). I want to settle down soon, but my BF was still living with his mom (who is also Bipolar--weird, huh??, but maybe she's a bit borderline). She has threatened to kill herself if he moves out. And he hadn't done much to get himself OUT of the house (as in JOBS). So there were some things that i had no control over that I wished to change. It felt more torturous to be IN the relationship at times than it does to be out. I do really miss him, though. The most kind, funny, and snuggly boyfriend I've ever had (god--I'm crying now!). But just not meant to be until some things were resolved.Why can't we just be monkeys--swinging from trees and sniffing other monkeys' butts again??
Sorry if it was too much information. I needed to write that stuff out.
Take care, Katia!
Katy
