Maybe she's correct, maybe I'm as good as I can be with regard to meds. The meds I'm on, though, are all sedating. I'm so drained from feeling like sleeping all the time and being zoned out while I'm awake. I don't want to add any medication, I only would like to be more alive and awake - without experiencing an abnormal amount of anxiety.

Which med do you think is the biggest culprit to the tiredness, not feeling alive? Do you think your pdoc would let you dial that back down? Do you take any of the sedating meds in the morning rather than at bedtime. Have you tried something simple like drinking a moderate amount of coffee to perk you up? Are you having your appointments over the phone these days? If so, you can't have notes written in advance so you don't forget what you want to say? That's what I did today. And my pdoc took it from there.
