I saw the new doctor this week, she seems pretty good. She agreed I needed to get off the Klonopin and put me on Trazodone for sleep. So far it doesn’t work well. The first night I took 25 mg and the second night I took 50 mg. Both nights I started waking up at [...]

I was off today and didn’t like it. I actually feel happier on days that I work. That doesn’t say a whole lot about my life does it?
I started this morning trying to help my husband clear out his house. After about 2 hours of it, I had had enough. I was getting an anxiety [...]

I missed my Invega the past two nights, because I stayed at my husband’s house and didn’t have it with me. I actually feel quite good. I am not so tired and do not have the urge to sleep 12-14 hours per day. At this point I am not having mood swings and am in [...]

Last night I took Valerian to help me sleep instead of Klonopin. I’m trying to get off the Klonopin. It worked, but I was quite drowsy this morning. I wonder if it is because it has poppy in it or perhaps I took too much. Tonight, I will take it earlier and less of it [...]

I thought inquiring minds would like to know about all the medications I’ve been on and how they worked, and what the side effects were.
Antidepressants:
Prozac – helped my depression but sent me into a hypomanic state with aggression when dosage was increased.

My medication is working – finally – with minimal side effects.
I’m taking:
6 mg of Invega each night to stabilize moods
1 mg of Klonopin each night to sleep
32 mg of Concerta each morning for ADD
It seems to be working. The Invega makes me tired but not tired enough to sleep. That’s where the Klonopin comes in. [...]

I took the full prescribed amount of Invega last night and boy did it knock me out. I was groggy until about 12pm today, and after that I was fine. At least the anxiety is gone now. I will just keep all the meds the same and not make anymore changes – Invega at night, [...]

YAY!
I start on Sept 15th. It will be a week of training and then I start work. I forgot to ask if they pay for the training or not. It’s in a group home of disabled adults. I’ll basically be doing what I’m doing now, only I’ll be caring for 4 people instead of 1. [...]

I feel depressed living at my parents’ house. This is normal for me to feel this way because my mother drives me nuts.
Now there is this feud between my husband and my father. My mother keeps inviting my husband over and he won’t come over because Dad does not want him here. Mom won’t stop [...]
