Hello WorkhorseDVM: I'm sorry to read that you are having such difficulty. I would presume that the ups & downs you're experiencing are to be expected, to some extent, for a person with your diagnosis. But then, of course, having your meds changed certainly makes everything that much more difficult too, until you've adjusted to the new med's. I would like to send some warm thoughts your way with the hope that you will be able to find your way through your present struggles to a new more peaceable place...

Med changes are the worst. When you get it right fight to keep it there.
Thanks for this!

Just saw a post called "RANT", so here is mine. I am VERY extremely angry!!! Finally get script filled, looking forward to finally get a good night of sleep, instead I reacted to yet another med that would probably help me! Fell asleep only to wake up later twitching all over, feeling like I needed to get up and move. All I wanted to do was sleep. I am sick and tired of being exhausted or dopey! Do this do that do not do this do not do that take this do not take that! I am sick of all of it, of everyone and everything! I will give the new med 1 more shot, if this twitchy crap happens again, I am going to stop taking it. I will let PDoc now, but what I really want to do is just stop everything, meds, group, T, just FTS! I ask for help with something and just get shut down. I know what they are saying is correct, but it is NOT helping me right now! Screw it all and them.

I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. It's really frustrating. Have you ever felt like this, that you want to stop everything? Do you have support in your life that you can lean on? Sometimes when I am frustrated with my T I remember that I need the support and that this is a normal relationship with frustrations like any other.
Thanks for this!

I have never wanted to stop meds before, that is new. I do have a great team and my spouse is great too. I am just seriously frustrated with everything right now. I am difficult to medicate as I react to nearly everything.
