Hi everyone,
I am so appreciative of all the posts, giving me a peek into what is happening with others and their regimens. I really am starting to think I've got too much going on and I've been queasy for the last week, EVERYDAY, and have no idea as to what is causing it....anxiety? Def a possibilty b/c it's been high this week. Reaction to all these different pills floating around in my stomach at the same time? Possibly. I've got some serious reflux going on from all that's involved in my universe right now? Another possibility (I take Prilosec everyday also for reflux). The queasiness is making me eat less, which is absolutely OK with me, but it's kinda miserable otherwise.
Some of you were asking about the adderall....It was prescribed by my very first pdoc for symptoms that he thought could be related to ADHD, I did the little test and he did an evaluation and came up with this diagnosis. I was already taking an Anti-D at the time, I think zoloft, AND already taking Ambien at that time. I have no idea about the upper/downer combination. Honestly it never occurred to me. The adderall definitely gets me wound up to some degree, but I've got a decent tolerance to the "bouncing off the walls" effect. I tend to avoid the third dose to give me a better chance at sleeping.
When I changed pdocs, the new one (my current one) wanted to leave my regimen as is for a couple of months. Since then, she's changed it all around except for adderall and ambien. We've not talked about it too much, she focuses mainly on the Anti-D's/mood stabilizer. It seems I'm going to have to have a serious discussion with her or just find a new one. I'm one of those that avoid difficult conversations, especially with docs in general....they intimidate me! But right now I feel like a science experiment, so time to (wom)an up. Arrrgghh!
You guys are so supportive and informative...I've never been on a forum like this and am truly glad I found you!
