Change in Medication
I went to see my doctor yesterday. That was an interesting event all in itself. When I first showed up for my appointment, which was scheduled for 10:30 am, my doctor was on her way out the door. I stopped her and asked about my appointment and she adamantly said that I did not have an appointment for 10:30. She then went into a rant about how I had been calling her for days an changing appointments on her, which was just not true. I didn't know what to say. She actually said "there is really something wrong with your head" and "your just not thinking straight". It took me about 10 minutes of arguing to finally get her to realize that I wasn't the person she thought I was. Then she tells me she is sorry but that she made arrangements for her daughter to be somewhere at during my appointment time and she would have to see me later. So, I had to come back at 6 pm.
When I finally made it back to my appointment later in the evening I was able to talk to my doctor about a lot of the things that have happened to me in the last month. The troubles that I have had with friends and with my mother. Then I went into the problems that I have been having with these "seizures" that I have been having for years. That is when she decided to change my medications. Now I am taking 900mg of Trileptal, 1mg of Clonazepam, 10mg of Zyprexa, 25mg of Topamax (which is being reduced to none in 2 weeks) and 50mg of the new Lamictal.
The new pills are also helpful in giving me more energy. Already today I feel like I can do more than I did yesterday. The Trileptal seemed to be causing most of the problem with me feeling like I can't get out of bed most days. I hope that the change in meds will really help all of that. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
