My body has obviously been through quite a lot the last 2 1/2 weeks and so I know I have to be patient as everything settles. But today has been so weird.
Friday I couldn't do anything but sleep. Saturday I slept until about 2 (from 10:30 Thursday night) and didn't do much when I was awake except pick up a prescription and a pizza. I took meds at 8:30 and am still not sleepy. I recognize this pattern...My pdoc didn't think clozaril was going to make me very sleepy but she wanted me on about half what I'm on. I am so anxious tonight though. I have PRNs so I'll be ok but it's weird. I was sent home on 2 daily doses of gabapentin beside my night dose but there is no way that I can tolerate those now that I'm not in the anxiety-producing situation of living with 9 other people in small space, loud, being wakened by bed checks, etc. I don't have any good reason to be anxious but I am really, really anxious tonight. Time for that PRN I guess. Although I hate that because I think I need a blood draw tomorrow and have to drive to that. I knew things would settle and we'd eventually need to mess with the gabapentin dose but I'm surprised it was this fast.

That sounds difficult. Are you feeling any better yet?
