I was given Respirdol which had side effects and I kept saying strange things, cried, and I just did not do well on it.  I am now on two kinds of blood pressure medicine, calcium for my osteoporosis, and once a week I take Fosimax.  Some months back I was given Aracept which was not at good for me.  My doctor has me on Artax in case I need it three times a day for relaxation or sleep.

 

Soon in March i am to have my upper teeth taken out and once in a while I drink sleepy time tea which I like very much.  I shall be moving around April 1 to Brockport, NY to an apartment project and I shall be doing work at the Independent Living Center and train to be a peer advocate voluntarily.  Around Brockport and Rochester there is more possibily for me to work and I am going to be learning to record and get a microphone so that I can record my violin playing and also record what I am doing on the knitting machine.

Yes is my answer to this weeks question. Even though I still sometimes find it difficult to sleep at nights, more so since I came off my medication if I have alcohol,or a few cups of coffee or in particular a drink called redbull and vodka(a caffine based drink) before i go to bed i can gurantee to not sleep for most of the night.

ok, 1st time here so bare with me. In response to side effects from meds.....Very Intense, actually I had to stop taking them. I couldn't think straight at all. I thought the whole world was out to get me. I was loosing my mind! Sorry about angry face, don't know how that happened, but actually.....it fits how my meds effected me.

 I too had serious side effects from meds. Ask the doct, what about the fact that I could get addicted - said not to worry will handle that when I am addicted. Said No Thank You. I try not to use alchol or to much caffine get very jittery.  Suggested a  med serotax, doct said Prozac will be better deside not to use it, will stick to "natural meds."
