Something’s not right

a pattern

a pattern

so i have just noticed a pattern which i dont know what i am supposed to do about because idk if there is anything that can be done but anyway so in the last like 5-6 days before i am supposed to get my depot again (depot is once every 2 weeks) i start getting the beginnings of mania and then then i will get my depot and it will settle for a week or so and then it starts back up again before i get my next depot and idk what i am supposed to do about this but it is getting very annoying and is doing a real number on my sleep. like idk what i can do self soothing stuff isnt working and i just keep getting all hyper and not sleeping and like even now i was up until 1pm today from last night like that is not normal and yes i often stay up late but not that late and i just cant fall asleep and i took some prn i had laying around hoping that would make me sleepy but it has done nothing and i feel nothing from it and idk i just wanna know what this keeps happening i am taking my other meds but they dont help me sleep either. anyway this was a little rant ish but i am wondering if anyone else has had a similar thing happen and if they remember what helped?

Hi @Eden1919

Just wondering, do you even need or want the depot. Like, a lifestyle choice?

Those drugs can fragment the mind. I've had recent experience of being forcibly injected against my will, that is to say, without permission from me.

And I can tell you it plays devilish tricks with the mind.

Hey @Eden1919 @good to see you

Sorry you are going through this. It’s seems legitimate to ask and not a rant.

Doing sleep hygiene gets extra tricky with lots of meds. Hard to isolate what is causing what. Too many variables. Definitely bring it up with treating team.

I always try and simplify things for my mental health and sleep patterns and meds.

There is a veritable rainbow of Rx. All of them come with positive and side effects. I reckon you need to find a good doctor, I know this is hard. A good doctor will help you traverse this weirdness:)
