I'm glad the meds are so helpful for you.

Wow! You've been busy today! Hopefully that will tire you out for tonight and you sleep better. Do you not find napping disrupts your night sleep though? No matter how much I want or enjoy a nap, it always makes it harder for me to sleep that night, so I try really hard not to nap anymore.
My grandfather has been started on an AD. It's one that made me sleep 18 hours a day and eat anything not nailed to the floor. He has been losing weight and not sleeping though so those side effects would be good for him. I'm not sure that he's actually depressed though (he has dementia), because he only cries when he's told that someone he's asking about has died, so I feel like it's grief and appropriate, and medicating his feelings away into total numbness isn't a good solution. Also he's not capable of making medical decisions anymore so he's not even been told that he's been diagnosed as depressed and is now taking an antidepressant, and that makes me uneasy too. This doctor had never met him before and it's like he just thought crying=depression=AD when it's so much more complicated than that because of the dementia, and taking psych meds is a big decision that neither my grandfather or my family were a part of... :/
