I felt like for the first time in my 3 years of seeing her I got it together to speak out.
The side effects I brought up were the frequent/urgent peeing, inability to regulate my body temperature/sweating (even when I'm cold, so I get the 'hot-colds'), and tremor/akathesia (hands, arms, torso, legs).
Dr. W. listened well and carefully, and suggested 2 med changes ("slow at first..."). I have a feeling that those 2 small changes won't make much difference - but it's a start towards less meds and - hopefully - more comfort.
The weather is absolutely like spring. A bit warm! Not getting dark now until nearly 6 p.m. I baked a lasagne for my husband and I and I feel like Ugh, kinda heavy for tonight. But the night will chill down. I hope.

That is a great progress! I remember when I was at the point you are. in terms of ability to reduce meds/dosages. My life quality only improved from there. I hope the same for you.
