So since I went from 1000 mg of Depakote to 500 mg I’ve been experiencing migraine headaches… again… which I thought I was done with dealing with migraines. Well I talked to me doctor tonight and he said that coming down on Depakote can cause migraines. Great. If I keep getting these migraines for the next week I’m going to have to go back to a 1000 mg. Still on lithium, still have bad shakes.
I’ve been reading a lot about bipolar lately and it seems to be really helpful. The book I’ve been reading the most is The Bipolar Handbook by Wes Burgess, M.D.
Still can’t find a job… well I did get offered one but I’m not going to take it for various reasons including 12 hour days (on the weekends) and an one hour commute each way.
I’m going to take some more meds for me migraine and go lay down…
Hang in there sweetie. I’ve missed two weekends in a row of activities due to migraines (see my latest blog about pain)… it’s a bitch.
someday the stars will align for us to have game night!
