What patches are you on. Is the consultant a good one?

This manic attack, has this been brought on by medication?

Lyrica 150 ×3 times day

Carbaser 1 mg

Deralin 40 ×2 times day

Mirtazapine 15mg morn + 30 mg night

Olanzapine 2.5 mg morn 5 mg night

My doc is totes amazeballs...lol

He goes above n beyond...

I hv bipolar and borderline pd and anxiety disorder and ptsd..

I am usually more up than down...so to answer ur question about whether i think the mania is med related....who bloody knows...lol

Saw doc today and he said that ppl with my mental health issues can get post baby mania...thats wen it got really bad five months ago ...gardening in the dark...painting my sons bedroom...threading tiny craft beads for my lightshade...pic to follow... i can thread seed beads for five hours straight...lol...

Basically i hv to see psych n prob go back on serequel which i kno can make my legs worse but not many options left for me unless im willing to go back on methadone...which iv done twice before n hated it...i dont enjoy being groggy n drowsy...i like being up n energetic

What did the Dr say about the cannabis? I'd imagine with the list of medications you are on she/he would be a bit reticent to prescribe.

Hope you get relief.

[Goingthruhell in reply to Hidden]

Forgot to ask...damn u foggy brain...lol...but yeah dont much like my chances

[Hidden in reply to Goingthruhell]

If you had been smoking cannabis he'd have blamed that

[Goingthruhell]

Yeah...if...lol...😉

Saw A professor of neurology on Thursday. After a barrage of tests the good news was there is nothing neurological wrong. I had some blood tests done and he is changing my tablets I have been on ropinerole for about 5 years now.

He was surprised that only now was I being referred after 50 years of suffering.

Although I explained it has got worse as I get older.

I am to see him again, He will send me an appointment. See how I progress.

Fingers crossed.
