There is no polite way to say how I feel today so I will just say it, I feel like crap!

And it's my own fault.

I thought that if I took my night medications at 4 pm minus the sleeping pill instead of taking my night medications at 8 pm that I would be able to wake up early at 6am and feel good. Since I have been taking my night medications at 8 pm faithfully I in turn feel hung over early in the morning. Some mornings I can barely walk in a straight line my legs feel so weak like jello.

So, the only thing I have changed is the time of day that I take my night medications. I feel sleepy, mild flu or withdrawl like symptoms, and I have racing negative angry thoughts.

I have a family doctor's appointment on the 26th for my driver medical exam. As you know this has me very nervous and scared. Having my driver's license gives me a sense of accomplishment and independance. I never drive when I feel ill (tired, sleepy, "hung over" due to medications, or even if I have a cold). And I rarely drive at night. Long story short is that I will mention the medication change to my family doctor and explain the difficulties that I am experiencing when I take the medication at the regular time vs. the new time. Or maybe I shouldn't he might think I am irresponsible and not let me have a driver's license?

My former psychiatrist did say that with one of my medications that it didn't matter what time of day I took it. And my family doctor suggested that I take one capsule in the afternoon and the other capsule at night.
