Can I Trust My Pdoc?
Quick update...
- The meds that were given to me on Friday aren't working.
- Ambien worked for 3 hours on Friday & Saturday, then I was wide awake again.
- I haven't had more then 3.5 hours of sleep in the last 48hours.
- I've taken 3-4 Ritalin's/day for the last 4 days.
- I, still, will not be getting Concerta. Not now, or any other time for that matter.
- Apparently, I will not be getting any other mg of Ambien either.
- Lunesta, what worked for me, for some reason isn't an option.
- They are going to give me Ritalin-SR (sustained release).
- Today I was given Trazodone.
- On Friday, they want to put me on Lithium.
Are you taking Lithium? Should I be concerned? The word itself scares the piss out of me! Are they just giving me random meds because they work for "The Man"? Can I trust my pdoc?
2 Other Thoughts:
Trazodone work great for me. I don't take it all the time but it makes me relaxe and sleep. Laugh if you want but for me, when I do really need a good night sleep I take a gravol. It just knock me out for 12 hours. I don't know about lithium. My mom takes it sometime, but I have no idea if she likes them or not. Maybe try them for a couple of days. It doesn't mean your are doing worst just that we all react differently to meds. Maybe you need stronger meds. Hang in there. Hugs
Amber,
although i answered your comment, on my blog, i thought i would follow, and ask how you were doing.
have you been diagnosed bipolar? why lithium? why not another med?
take courage.
