....but I don't feel any better. The Dr has me on paxilCR at night, a stimulant in the morning and I have Ativan through out the day and for the hard times....I am also supposed to be on high cholesterol, and high blood pressure meds, but teh pharmacy wouldn't fill them with out talking to a dr because of my insurance. He didn't put me on anything for my insomnia after I was released, even though I was on Ambiean in the hospital. so I am taking OTC meds for that. I feel horrible. I feel worse now than before I went in....Dh is leaving in a few days to go to work in another state, and he said he is worried about leaving our DD alone with me with the way I am being.........

I will try to get back here in a few days to update or something, but I haven't felt like getting online at all. and that is VERY unusual for me..........

Diana, I'm so glad you're back home you've been missed. Sorry you aren't feeling better but you do know it usually takes awhile for these type of meds to get fully into your system. So hang in there and before you know it you'll be feeling better. Just know that the board is here to give you support and if you just need to talk you're more then welcome to email me. My email address should be on my profile. You take care of yourself and drop in here when you feel better and feel up to it.

Diana, I'm glad you are back, but wish you were feeling better. Have you checked with your MD to be sure the OTC meds you are taking for insomnia don't interact with your prescribed meds?? Just a thought. Maybe once you get back into the swing of things you will feel better. As with most meds, I'm sure it will take awhile for them to work their best. Come back soon, we care.

Hugs,

It's good to hear you're back, Diana. It always takes so dang long for the meds to kick in. We always want to feel better, yesterday:) It takes time.
