I have been wanting to ask someone else with BP if they feel, or I should say, not feel what it is I am not feeling. Let me explain.
When I was on Serequel, I had a few moments there where it felt as though my skin had become more sensitive. I actually liked being touched by my wife, as it felt good. Also, on a cold day, I could feel the sun warming my skin, only on the side of the body it was touching. I'm now off of Serequel do to some complications with the drug.
Before and after I was on Serequel, I had never noticed these sensations. I receive no pleasure from having my body rubbed or touched in a gentle way. I'm either hot or cold. Often when I get cold, I crank up the heat and let it blow on me, only to later all of the sudden be to hot.
I had more balance when I was on Serequel, I was wondering if any of you had a similar story.
I am now on Depakote, which have none of these awakenings of senses. It's almost depressing to not have them, I sometimes wish I had never experienced it. The reason I'm on Depakote, is that I have also been diagnosed with having petit mal seizures, and I also suffer from migraines, which seem to coexist with my mania episodes. Ok I'm rambling now, back to business, thanks for any input.
Thanks
John
