It’s a beautiful day today. I’ve been outside enjoying some sunshine and fresh air.

I had an appointment with my psychiatric NP. I’ve gone back up in dosage on the Clonazepam. Not only does it help with my generalized anxiety disorder but it takes some of the stress off taking care of an 89 year old woman with pronounced dementia. Don’t get me wrong. I love my mom. It can just get a bit stressful.

I ran into the serotonin syndrome that my NP warned me about. Thoroughly unpleasant. She wanted me to go to the ER. No thank you. I slept most of it off and it was gone in 48 hours. We’ve decreased my AD now. I’m using my sunlamp more frequently instead.

Savoring October - my favorite month. Making fall recipes, using lots of pumpkin flavor and decorating for fall.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day.
