Yesterday I went to see my psychiatrist. He gave me a one week-ish prescpition to abilify which I have never heard of before, but helps calm down manics like me. He asked me if I had any grandiose illusions or paranoia. I assured him that I did not. He said if you are manic (ie. very happy instead of very sad such as depression) that you will turn into having thoughts like that. It reminded me of the guy who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart and thought he was Jesus. Either he was schitosophrenic or paranoid. Also, a low dose of ambien for sleep. Unlike the abilify, I've been wanting some for a loonnngg time now and am glad to get it.
I took 2 mils of ambien last night around 10:30 pm. Ok. Long story short. I woke up at 5 am and need to take two. I took abilify and it was me nausoues. I called my dr and later he returned my call, telling me to take abilify in the morning on a full stomach. Why do I mention all of this? I'm learning a lot and wanted to share it all with you.
Love, Megan
