Doing better, productive

 It is now Friday. I woke up at 3:45, but since I first fell asleep at 8 last night i guess that isn't too bad.  Since starting the EnLyte prescription Tuesday night I feel better. My days have been far more productive than they have in a long time. I still don't necessarily feel like doing stuff. For instance I don't feel like cleaning the house. However,  I want it clean and my son wants Christmas decorations up, so I have been. Today I started an iron and Herb supplement. It's supposed to give me more energy. So we'll see. My blood work revealed an iron deficiency thus the reason for the supplement.

I had my third visit with my psychiatric nurse practitioner yesterday. We decided I'd try going from 100 mg of Latuda down to 80. She says the dose of Latuda is very high which is easy to believe seeing how they don't even make 100 mg tablet. The hope is that I can get down to 40 to 60 mg Latuda which is a more ideal dosage. She thinks either I'm on such a high dose of latuda it prevents all the anti depressants from pushing me to Mania or I don't have bipolar disorder. Generally they try not to put people with bipolar on any antidepressants yet I'm on 3. She wants me on the least amount of meds at the lowest affective dose. So we'll see what that ends up being.  I have a feeling this is going to be a long road.  However, I'm hopeful it won't be a hard one.
