JB,
Listen. I can't exactly explain it but I understand where you are at. I have been there many times. Sort of like mentally digging yourself into a hole.Call him tomorrow. Treat this like any other business at hand. Don't think about it any more -just pick up the phone and simply state the problem.
Tell him what is undesirable about this med.
Tell him you would prefer to return to the med that you are familiar with so that you can know what to expect from your self.Tell him right now you cannot afford (school etc)to struggle with this med change and that you will explore other options later if it's necessary when it's not so critical of a time for you.
Say; Hey Dr. I left a message last week-I'm know you must not have gotten it. This is bad timing on this med change. I have no patience with it becuase school is at critical mass right now. I was functioning better with my old med can I please return to that safety zone, at least for a time? In X amount of time things will be calmer and we can explore changes then.
JB-I doubt you will even get this far into the conversation before he says sure.
He sounds kind, reasonable and you two have established trust. You are making a perfectly reasonable request.
Pretend it's your hairdresser who suggested a new hair color. She did a lovely job but it is just not you. You are thankful she is always wanting to improve her work and never want her to stop but this particular time it just didn't suit you.
Put it on your to-do list and do it. No more overthinking.
This is the good advice my best friend gives me.
Complete the task.
Peace,
Kaye
