I went back to the OB last week and asked her how I would know if I needed a higher dose of my Happy Pill. She said I would start feeling worse instead of better.
I swallowed hard. I am far, far better than I was two months ago. But the crying has returned, I feel overwhelmed by the easiest tasks, and my head feels jumbled with thoughts. I didn't want to admit I might need a higher dose, but I didn't like feeling as though I'm going backwards either.
So the doctor is having me take a pill and a half now. The only thing that seems different at the moment is how tired I am. This pill makes me extremely tired until my body adjusts to it. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I (hopefully) feel more balanced.
Thinking of you. Hang in there, I hope the pills help you feel better. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you spoke to your doctor about how you were feeling and changing your dose to better suit how you have been feeling. Wishing you the very best and hope your body adjusts quickly and you start feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you for doing what you need to do to get yourself feeling better again. I hope the fatigue wears off and that you're feeling like yourself again soon.
