Hi friends:

I'm doing OK I suppose, with yet another med change ;)



The side effects...I am sooooo sick of 'em. This time we got the dizziness, sleeping for 15 to 18 hours straight and when I am awake this awful disquiet and mental and physical restlessness - tho the Concerta helps.

Here's the list:

300 Wellbutrin XL

36 Concerta

15 Abilify

300 Trileptal

10 Ambien for a few days to sleep

25-50 Seroquel PRN

Anybody else on some of these meds?

I know I'm complaining but I do think we are getting very close to effective treatment, despite the stress I'm under, and DID issues being active.

I just have to get the cutting under control again.

Just an update ladies, and best wishes on your own struggles.

Hugs,

Rowan (karenmrh)

I am glad to hear that you may have found the right meds to help you....

I am sorry to hear that there are so many, I am not taking any of those meds just taking one for now Nuerontin which I know I need the dosage upped again.

I know how hard it is to get the cutting under control I did it for so long and I am doing everything I can to not do it but the way I handel it isnt a healthy way.

Please keep us up to date on how things are going for you.;

Keeping you in my thoughts
