Although I was energetic and industrious at the beginning of each mania, the mania became destructive as it grew more severe. I lost my job and my marriage.

I am sorry to hear that. I was destructive, too, but everyone involved forgave me. Also religious. You werent angry that a psychmed sent you into that? I was for sure.

> I'm not volunteering right now. I left my position last August when my mother had spinal surgery. Afterwards, I had my bout with septic shock. The commute was getting too expensive, anyway. My guess is that I will feel employable later this summer as I eventually discontinue the Parnate and move on to Trintellix and Effexor.

I watched your experiment with Saphris with some concern but i changed my mind. I hope the other change pays works out for you as well. I am kind of conservative. I rather not try everything because of the risks involved. It could be better with a new med, but it could also be worse. Thats kind of my thinking here. I am pretty stable and i dont want to mess this up.

> Do you have a plan in place to treat your condition(s)? Have you reduced your dosage of Seroquel?

I have gone from 1000mg to 900mg. But i did not have the nasal congestion again. I have picked up frequent exercise again and besides that i am kind of waiting for stuff like Rapastinel to come onto the market.
