I have been crying today because of it. I just want to go to sleep and I can;t because the kids are up and it would upset dh, if he was here. I am seriously beginning to wonder if it is the meds and if I should just forget about them all. I am still not real happy. What exactly are these meds doing for me. Sometimes I think a lot then days like today I think nothing at all. I can't live my life longing to sleep all the time.

That was my complaint. It turns out that it is was the medicines. So talk to doctors
and tell him or her that you don't like being so tired. That is my plan anyway.
My apointment is for the 13th, of March. So I will let you know if my docs bedside manner and my wishes coinside. Hee hee. Sunny

My my pen to your heart.

that's right...okay, abilify made me really sick...so i dunno about that one...as for cymbalta...i had to take it at NIGHT cuz it made me tired...its supposed to be a bit less effective at night...but i had no choice cuz of the sleepiness it caused. Especially at 60 mgs. I also have to take my Topa at NIGHT cuz of the sleepiness. Try that. It can't hurt.

Love and Hugs,

Keli

I could not find a sitter for Friday so did not go out with my friend but went out to dinner with my sister. Had my favorite mexican and peach margarita. Started feeling a little better. I have talked to her some, despite the fact that she is very close with dh and she surprised me by completly being understanding.

Dh has strep now, poor baby. LMAO. Sorry could not help myself. He is wallowing in self pity and is off my case for the time being. Not happy nor unhappy with me, just sick. It is not an easy place for me to be but oh well. I am working on some of "his issues" but not getting any real feedback so not sure if he even notices.

Well, I figured out why I have been so tired all the time. It is almost March. My allergy season must be starting early. I have had headaches all week, allergy headaches. I always get really tired with my allergies. I called my regular doc who should call in my regular allergy prescription tonight or tommorrow.

Plus, I have been lazy and not working out, despite the fact that I KNOW it makes me feel better. I worked out today and have been doing a little better.

Thanks for all the help. I do take my meds at night. Except for 1 dose of topamax, which I take in the morning (I take it twice a day). I am on 80 mg of cymbalta right now, which does nothing more than the 60 mg IMO, so I might cut back down to 60. Pdoc just added the extra 20 to try to help with anxiety.

thanks again.

Missy
