I'm doing ok for the most part. I still have
sleep problems so my doc has prescribed remeron.
Remeron + neurontin = one sleepy puppy the next
day! I don't take the remeron often enough to
feel an AD effect.Overall, I don't feel all that great. But not all
that bad either. Sometimes I feel a bit stupid
from the neurontin which kind bites, but you can't
have it all I suppose.I think an AD might help me feel more energized etc.
but my intuition tells me that the longer I stay
on a mood stabilizer, the more of an AD effect it
will have. In most optimistic moments I fantasize
that it is really repairing my poor neurons which
on top of all the crazy moods and anxiety they've
been through, have also been steeped in a plethora
of meds for like, over a decade. The periodicity
of my moods definitely quickened over time.So how about you? How are you doing and what's the
latest in terms of the whole med thing? Be well...Sean.
