Daily Log 1/29/2005

Hello, all! I apologize for my absence. As my wonderful wife said, I've been very busy splitting my time between my current job, starting my own business, and my family. Things have been hectic, but also pretty good.

On the medication front, I've had a slight adjustment. I was taking 450 mg Wellbutrin XL, 50 mg Trazadone, and 200 mg Lamictal (along with multi-vitamin and omega-3 supps). This cocktail is still the same, however I have really been having trouble concentrating. At my quarterly appointment with my psychiatrist, I informed her of this and she added 18 mg Concerta to the mix. So far it seems to be helping me concentrate, however my wife and I are keeping a very close eye out for any adverse effects. It is a form of speed (Ritalin) and I REALLY don't want to inadvertently throw myself into mania.

I must admit that being busy isn't the only reason for my infrequent postings, as of late. I really am feeling better, but I know I'll never be cured. Talking about that fact on my BLOG reminds of this. It's a reminder that I need but something that I like to pretend doesn't exist sometimes.

So with that confession, I'll be trying once again to post on a regular basis. It means a lot to me that so many people were concerned about my absence. I really wish I could speak this freely with my close friends. However, I am still frightened of the stigma attached to my disease and I can't let this information become common knowledge to all those around me.
