I woke up very sick yesterday. It was a reaction to the meds I took before going to bed. Something to do with the combination of Neurontin and Seroquel added to what I already take. Plus, I was on a pain killer for my neck.
I was very sick.


I'm improved a lot today, but still very under the weather. This is the 3rd time in the past year and a half that I've had a bad reaction to psych meds. This one was a doozzy. Yesterday, I couldn't walk straight when I got out of bed.

I don't think layering on any more meds (polypharmacy) is in my interest. They are just reinstalling meds already tried and not found helpful. With each new resident pdoc, new meds have to be ordered, or they feel they are not doing anything. I have needs that are unmet, and meds won't meet them.

When I get over this (tomorrow - I guess) I don't ever want to feel how bad I did yesterday again . . . . not from psych meds. (Heart rate over 120, unstable walking, flu-like feeling all over. I did not get the flu.)
