It seems the increase in meds has helped a little with sleep - that is the good news. The not so good news is that I was feeling quite nauseous when I logged off last night, the nightmares still happened and I am extremely lethargic today despite getting a few hours sleep overnight and another few hours this morning. I am hoping this is just adjusting to the higher dose and will not continue for more than a few days. These side effects have not happened before on this med so I am hopeful it is only temporary while my body re-adjusts - and possibly a result of my 'rollercoaster' day yesterday - fingers crossed hey!

Re: Am Not Coping
So pleased you got some sleep last night and this morning. It will help over time for you to have more energy.
Today sounds like a do nothing day - due to the lethargy. That's okay. Just one day. Tomorrow you may not feel so lethargic

Re: Am Not Coping
I actually need to go out today @utopia - been living on 'next to nothing' for several days waiting to get paid Mortgage was covered but apart from that - nothing left. Need baby food and have some bills to pay - including pdoc - so need to drive there too today. That is definitely going to increase my anxiety - but not too worried as will feel better once I have paid that. I hate not being able to pay for things straight away - that is definitely something that significantly increases my anxiety
Need to go to a couple of other places too - but I am prioritising those that need to be done today and those that can wait until tomorrow if I become too overwhelmed
...also have to do my goal from pdoc but am thinking that may have to wait until tomorrow to start too - as it may be far too much for me today

@Former-Member I know you are 'in the background' and wanted to tell you it is so nice to 'see' you there - you don't need to reply or comment - just knowing you are 'around' is enough
