the reduction of one of my medications…
A while back I posted that the PDoc wanted to reduce one of my medication in an effort to raise the threshold of my seizures. Well she told me if I found that my mood was declining that I should go back up to the dosage that I was at. Well today I did just that. My moods has been on a downhill slide to the point that I had to stop it or else. I told my wife of what was going on and she agreed that I needed to boost the medication back up.
Hopefully the medication will help soon. I’m at the stage that I just want to keep eating and that is not good nor is the other thing starting to run through my head. I mention that to my wife as well. She said that we can get through this, and that she would help.
One of the things that I don’t like is the lack of desire to visit my blogging friends, and the wanting to sleep all day again. To quote a line from a Betty Davis movie: “Fasten your seat belts this is going to be a bumpy ride” (which movie I can not remember that the line came from) I ask that you keep me in your prayers as I try to ride this out.

Mike – I'm thankful you have such a wonderful wife. I'll keep you in my prayers as you deal with this.
Mike, I know how hard medication changes can be. I say a little prayer for you to make it through this rough time.
You will get this medication thing worked out sooner or later Mike. Just sleep and get yourself better. It's what you need to do. We'll all be right here when you return.Have a terrific day. Big hug. 🙂
I forgot to say that I always pray for you. Every single day. Big hug. 🙂
Mike, I pray that you will be better very soon. Do what you need to do to survive this set back.I will keep you in my prayers. Hold on! It will get better. Peace, my friend,Pam
Mari,Wanda's Wings,Sandee,and Finding Pam thank you one and all.
Hang in there buddy!
Travis thank you.
I hate it when my life is controlled by a prescription. I had that 10 years ago with a pain medication. I became addicted to it and weaned myself off it, which is something I don't advise anyone to do. Now the only pain medication I take is one over the counter.
You're in my prayers, Mike. It takes awhile for meds to kick in. Hang in there.
Hang in there Mike. We'll still be here when you feel better. Take care of yourself.
Hope you are feeling better today Mike. I know medication changes can be so very difficult.Have a terrific day. Big hug. 🙂
