Seeing the Shrink

I went and saw the psychiatrist this morning and got some useful news. I'm actually starting to look forward to my psychiatrist appointments since I feel like I get scientific information about my condition and actually get relief from physical symptoms. Still working on the psychotherapy...

Anyways, it turns out that the low thyroid could be the result of the lithium medication. That was interesting to know. As for the super down period, that was likely from the missed lamictal. Apparently, the state that I was in was the likely state I would be in without the medication. That thought was rather frightening. To help with the sleep, I'm being given seraquil. I've heard some things about it, so I'm intrigued, but mainly, I just hope I sleep.

Rather productive morning, I think...
