So its been now 3 months since I re-adjusted my meds, from 300 to 150mg of Quetapine, I find that I am waking at 6-7 am without a hangover from the meds, just in time for working out or simply just catching up with the news and getting ready for work. My sleep quality has not been negatively impacted at all which is just amazing, I didn’t know how this change would affect sleep time so I am glad all is still well. I have noticed that I am able to concentrate for longer periods of time on work and study, and most importantly I’ve not had a day where I’ve felt like I am crashing down from a beautiful high and bountiful energy – its like I have all the energy I need everyday, all day and this means not having to worry about the next roller coaster.
At times I have felt a bit overly excited about things, like everything just seems so crystal clear and beautiful, the other day I was so amazed by opening the tap when I wanted a drink of water, amazed at the idea of clean drinking water straight from the tap, five minutes late I realised I’d ben looking at the water running while playing with it on my hands, all the while thinking how amazing nature is, here is this liquid that we control through a massive network of pipes through thousands of kilometres, just to get to me at the very precise moment in time, while drinking the glass I’d just filled I closed my eyes and just felt the cool water run through me – as if I’d just downed 10 shots of vodka all at once – I almost felt guilty for looking at it for so long and letting it run for so long when I finally realised what I’d been doing for the past 5 minutes enamoured in thought.
I am not sure exactly how to classify this but it felt amazing, and it was nothing like other times, it was clear and had reason.
