New meds

by lilysmomComment Published at 07:0007:003 comments3 comments21 Visits21 VisitsReport

So thank god I asked to be re-evaluated. I went to my appointment today, and the Dr is finally putting me back on meds. And he gave me sleeping pills, so I can finally get a bit of rest. He said that by the time I run out of sleeping pills, the Wellbutin will have kicked in and I should be able to sleep anyway. I fought against going back on meds at first, but now I've realized that this is what I need. If it will help me to be a better mother and a happier, less anxious person, I'll take a couple pills a day.

So the next week is going to be crappy. I know these pills give me shakes for a few days, but once I get through that I hope I feel better. I just can't handle being the way I am anymore. My memory is shot, probably because of lack of sleep, and I'm really bitchy, also probably because of no sleep. But hopefully I will be back to my old, non-depressed-and-bitchy self in 2 weeks or so. Yay!

That's great!!
Good on you for realising that it's ok to take meds. It's obvious you need them to help get some sleep. Sleep deprivation is not only torture, it drives us literally mental!! Anxiety makes it so hard to relax and drift off to sleep the way others find it so easy to do. The shakes are horrible, I know. Especially considering all you've been through so far but you're right it won't be long and they'll be gone. Stay positive, you're doing  a great job!!
