Saying words that dont make sense and attention problems

[rentumtormentum]

For the past two days it seems, when i try to speak to someone the word that comes out is not the word intended or a grouping of words that are not related. I dont notice until after the fact, and since speach is a bit hard for me all together lately, i cant correct the error much more than becoming slightly bewildered by it. Ive also noticed that for a while, when people speak to me, i have to ask them to repeat themselves. Its a bit like i go somewhere else. This is acompanied by a vague but consistent agitaion and slight derealization. Im on lamictal...i was given seroquel to sleep, but its a little much. Im a bit paranoid by the dogs..its hard to take care of them let alone myself. I dont know how im going to interact with my roomate today. She is bipolar as well but she does not understand me very well. She is very angry and self jusified and mostly i am guided by my emotions. So i guess you could say i am a bit of the abstract type when i guess it comes to my symptoms its a bit other wordly. Hers, well she can just be a huge bully when shes gets in her moods. Im starting to comprehend less and less. Its like im moving farter and farther away from this world.  Maybe i should ride the wave and hope its not some sort of bellevolent spiritual presense. They diagnosed me with Bipolar 1, 6 years ago.

Yes--when I change doses or lithium, quetiapine, or lamictal I get the same thing. It did go away after a few extremely frustrating weeks. Tell your pdoc, but mainly keep and eye on it. Did you change dosage?
