I don't like who I am on the meds. Quiet, no motivated, thicker than I should be. I've been taking this particular cocktail for about a year regularly. So I don't know what to do. I don't know how to approach my therapist about this because we're fairly new to each other. I have a feeling she's just going to say talk to pdoc. I don't know how to make my life less chaotic..
I don't think you're being rude. I just really don't know how to stop this. |
Yes you need to keep on a quest for finding the right meds and more so doses of them maybe you don’t need 50mg of X while on 100 of Y ….out of ever speciality of medicine psych is the hardest to find a good balance. I use to take 200mg of Seroquel XR for over a year and it did nothing for my sleep really. Last IP my pdoc there said “ nope I want you on 50mg Seroquel IR and see how it goes ! Well I finally was able to get consistent sleep. So its micro changing medications that I think where fine tuning can make a bigger difference than we could think of.
I would think if you are open and honest with your T about wanting and needing to find a good combo of meds she will have no problem working with you on learning coping and life skills because medications will only go so far. We gotta get up daily and do all the hard work we don’t want to. But by doing all that stuff we can find a rhythm and feel like we matter and our accomplishments are worthy of celebrating.
Just stay in the game and push to truly enjoy your life
