I&#8217;d stay up until 3am and sleep in until 2pm and it wouldn&#8217;t matter because I never left the house anyway except for doctors appointments.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I started on 25mg of Zoloft and increased my Lithium to 900mg (300 in the morning, 600 at night). It&#8217;s always perplexed me how my doctors seem more concerned with treating my mania rather than my depression, when I&#8217;ve never really suffered from mania and the depression is usually more debilitating. Anyone I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=countinggoldstars.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7442723&amp;post=122&amp;subd=countinggoldstars&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
