I had problems focusing my mind on each problem at hand. I hope tomorrow goes better. This may be due to my meds. Stratera was added with an increase in Amphetamine Salts, a stimukant. I stopped both just to see what happens. Maybe going back on one of the two will help me focus. Right now my hands are shaking, but not as much as yesterday. I think I will remain off of them an extra day. I may continue to use Remeron (sp) which is suppose to help with the hands.

Update: the med is called Benztropine, not Remeron. I see as side effects confusion, dizziness, and tremor. So I will discontinue this one too for a couple days, One I find the culprit, I will start taking the rest of the meds, Amphetamine Salts, and Stratera.

PS My pdoc thinks I have ADD, and this is why he has prescribed the stimulants. I think it is just a feature of my Bipolar.
