UGGGHHHH.....

[pea soup]

went to my med doc today and my therapist.
she has put me back on xanax. its a much lower dose than i was taking before.
but i havent had it in over 3 months and when i took it, i became so sluggish and hazing feeling.
i eventually just went to sleep. she said thats i was extremely hyper and she was afraid i was entering a manic phase. i told her it was because i didnt sleep last night and that always makes me really wiry. nevertheless, im taking xanax again.
ive woken up just now and feel awful. i feel like i have a freaking hangover.
anyhow...im just complaining.
and OMG...ive had to correct almost every word ive typed because i keep misspelling!!!
i guess thats my cue to close now.
love to all

*hug* I hope you get used to the meds. Did you tell her you didn't want them? At least your doctor pays attention to how you are. I wish we had a mental health system like yours.

hope it passes soon, thiose nasty side effects. Nice she was paying attention and saw how you were though. Mayber if after a few days you dont feel any better go back to see her and ttell her how you are feeling?
*hugs*

Hey,
I hear you about being put back on xanax and on a lower dose than last time, i can understand how you will be concerned right now about how it affected you being slugish and hazy.
It must be hard being told your extremely hyper and entering a manic fase, especially with you explaining you hadnt slept.

Hugs you,
im sorry you feel awful right now, and feeling like youve a hang over.
its ok to express how you feel its important you can do this.
hugs you again to have kept going and manaeged to type out your thread.

big hugs and much love
Dave

Give it a go. He/she wouldn't have put you on it without a reason. Keep a diary of all the side effects/how you're feeling. If, after a month or so, you don't feel it's helping, you can go and look at it and see if you've improved or not, or if the side effects are getting worse or better or stabalising. And then, if you feel you should be taken off it, you have some "evidence", so to speak.

G'luck.
