I see my therapist once a week, usually on Wed. mornings at the V.A. and yes I take 3 different medications. One at night. that I take just before bed, because it can cause me to see things that are not there ( and that has happened acouple of times.) I have medication for my panic attacks that I take when I need it, though I am sure the dr. would prefer me to take them once a day. But they drag me down so bad that it is hard for me to even think about moving. Then I take medication for pain , lower back, hips and shoulder.

Some times, I can get into a really dazed and confused periods from it all. Which is a known side effect I guess. I'm not one to pop pills, in the past I would have to be in extreme pain even for headaches before I took anything for it. I really do not want to be taking what I am now, but I realize that I must, because I will end up hurting someone or myself and/or go completely off the deep end.

So I am working on it all, I haven't given up and can't give up.... it's just not with in me to do so. Family trait I guess, my mother suffered from depression as well as 2 of my grand parents. So I guess it runs in the genes.

Thanks for the thoughts
