Our bodies are different and weird. And so are our minds.
My pdoc recommended Gabitril for sleep and anxiety, and I was so anxious twenty minutes after I took it that I didn't sleep all night.
I took it a few more nights and gave up, as I felt icky the whole time.
BUT I still wonder whether it was the Gabitril or my brain. I was clearly nervous about starting a new drug, and if my own body MADE me have that side effect, I would've had it every day just from sheer expectation.
It's hard to give up those expectations.
Shelley--I had a new Serzone prescription filled. The first night I took it, I couldn't fall asleep for three hours (until I took an Ativan). Why? Because it was a new prescription, and I was thinking about whether it had expired or the drugs were bad or whatever--it happens whenever I start a new size of pill! How stupid.
Well, good luck with your fish oil tinkering. I hope it works for you. I think it does for me. Hard to tell if it's fish oil or better life conditions.
Just like it's hard to tell if the team won because you're wearing your lucky underwear!
