[QUOTE="seriously, post: 453968, member: 11920"] Yes to the medications change - I didn't take the time to change my sig yet. They added 600 mg Trileptal/day plus fairly generous amounts of Klonopin/Visteral prn during the stay. I checked myself in voluntarily but they made it clear they would not hesitate to keep me. Ah yes - no, no mints on the pilllow. Giggle. But perhaps the free-flowing Klonopin took it's place? This particular hospital has a "high functioning" ward for people like me, although after the cleaning incident they mentioned moving me to a different ward if things continued in that direction. Mostly had folks dealing with anxiety and depression - either Bipolar or chronic depression. Family held together OK. No major incidents. But wife (as I expected) was a backslider about holding the line on the house rules - in the name of peaceful coexistence. Not the best decision on her part but I wasn't there to offer support and I suspect I am going to be MIA for a while yet as my brain recovers. I should have gone in at least a week before I actually did - the night I spent 3 or 4 hours feeling like I wanted to beat my son's head in with a baseball bat and told our family therapist she started saying I needed to go inpatient. I told her that by the time I got to the hospital I wouldn't be suicidal/homicidal and they wouldn't take me. She suggested I think about lying a little. :) Unfortunately by the time I did check in for my little vacation I had no need to lie. :( My brain is worn out again now so I'm going - see you tomorrow and thanks for all the well wishes.
