So far, so good

I have been taking my medication as prescribed, and doing ok.  I don't feel that much different, but I feel like I am coming out of a gray cloud.  It was foggy in there and I was too tired to look for a way out.  I used to feel emotionally tired and physically exhausted a lot of the time.
Now I feel more here, more present in the moment.  Still can't think ahead too much, it's overwhelming to plan more than a few weeks ahead.
I was at my psych appointment last week.  The doctor said she would prescribe Gabapentin, that it would help me sleep, but it's not a sleep medication, so I won't become dependent on it.  It also won't knock me out.

When I got home, I researched the medication and it is another anti convulsant, but it's supposed to help with ADHD and anxiety.  I am looking forward to continued improvement.

The doctor also asked if I want to take more of the Lamictal, I could add to it and take 75mg.
I believe it will be best to wait until I start the new medication, then see how it works.  After that I can see if I would like to raise the dosage of Lamictal.  I rather not raise it unless I have to.

I took a short quiz through Psych Central.  It is scary to answer those questions.  I feel like I missed a whole list of symptoms  that I thought were due to bipolar.
Seems the ADHD symptoms were hidden under Bipolar symptoms.
I thought anyone with ADHD was hyper.  It just shows in me as anxiety, nervousness.

I should say I am shocked to read the symptoms.

I signed up to Psych Central forum, to be able to talk to others.  Not sure how that will go, but I think it's a good idea.

I just got the Lamictal in the mail.  Not sure why they sent me 100 mg pills.  I don't want to try to cut it in fourths..  EEEKK  well, I'll cut them in half and take the 50 mg.
