Not doing well this morning. Very anxious. i couldn't run after taking my morning meds after Protonix (around 1 hr later).

I had trouble with balance, slurring speech again. I don't know if it's the Protonix with all those meds acting up or the morning meds acting up on their own, but I've been on them a these meds several months now without problems, except the Wellbutrin, that was like a month ago, but the only other AD that's worked for me is Effexor, and that is so hard to come off. Maybe I could ask the pdoc for a different AD if he feels I need one. I feel I need one. I start wanting to sleep all day, think about SI (but don't do it), have more wishes I were dead, don't do a thing all day, etc. But the last time I tried a bushel of ADs was in the early 2000s, so there might be something new out there now. Or going back on the Cymbalta awhile since it helped me in the past. Hurt my body a ton getting off it because it is also used (lower doses) to treat fibromyalgia.

To complicate matters, I had a horrid sinus headache and took Tylenol right after the morning meds before eating. When I started looking up drug interactions, OMG, so many of my morning meds can react with acetminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol. Probably I should take them with food in the future and not an empty stomach and avoid the Tylenol. Most meds even have a bit of interaction with caffeine, but I don't know if I can go without morning coffee.

I just didn't want to run or jog feeling so off balance; it was lucky I felt OK enough to drive my daughter to school (which thankfully is about a 5 minute drive).

I'm feeling mostly better now, tired though. I think I'm going to put some lavender in my essential oils diffuser, make a cup of chamomile tea, lie down and read and hopefully catch a nap. Only 5 hours of sleep last night, good if you are fighting mania but not good for me at all.
