i saw a new psychiatrist who told me to increase my carbamazepine dose : 2 400mg pills a day instead of the usual one at night.

its almost 9 in the morning and i just took the new 'extra' 400mg about 30 minutes ago now, and i feel extremely euphoric because of that (+ other side effects like dizziness and motion sickness.) i wouldn't call this mania, maybe it is, but i've been working hard to come out of my recent depressive slump by running every other day. i feel like he fucked up big time by telling me to do that.

but i guess he's right, he increased it because i was still experiencing hypomania and depression on the previous dose.

should i be concerned? maybe he shouldn't have raised my dose. i don't know.
