Need a Little Help

[Krushdice]

I've diagnosed with manic depression.   Always keep a med journal, noting time, dose and specific medication: Remeron(30mgs) Paroxitine(30mgs) WellbutrinSR(150mgs)3xdaily and finally Lithium(300mgs)3xdaily.  
All will be well then suddenly I'll take my usual cocktail and I just want to crawl back into bed.   I would but I can't sleep until I take every thing.
Now last night at 7pm I took the cocktail and this morning had my usual mix.  But instead of feeling energized my bed was calling to me and  I didn't want to leave the house.   I did work for 4 hours, tired of course, but I faked it and no one noticed.   Around noon I got to feeling pretty good.   Cautious I'm thinking of waiting til bedtime before medicating.  What's your opinion.  You know when I say I'm tired that doesn't always mean sleepy;  does that make sense?
I'd like to know if anyone else experiences what I just described.   Advice and words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Louise

Thank you for responding to my plea.   I think I'm seeing a great psychiatrist/neurologist.  However,  I have been thinking of change  because I believe that she is losing patience with me fast.   We've been thru the med reduction plan and it doesn't work I need everything.  But I am now waiting til the last moment to take the Lithium and Wellbutrin.  When I know I really need these then I'm pretty sure that the time is right.  
That's another thing my current doc dislikes about me.  I'm constantly readjusting and rearranging my meds.  I never take more but may take less and switch the times.    Last time I had the wild idea of taking 150mgs Wellbutrin 3x daily instead of 300mgs at night and 150 in the morning.   She got all excited and thought I was gonna take more.  Had to assure her that I would not.   I think it's important to be proactive in my medical care.   Hell, its my body and my mind who's gonna know better than I?   Doctors I look to as guides.
