It's about that time...
I'm pretty sure I get this feeling every semester, but I definitely notice it more in the spring. I've gotten to the "Fuck it!" mode in some of my classes. While I'm obviously studying to be the best pharmacist I can be, I realize that I just need to pass my classes. It would be great if I got better than a C if not for when/if I apply for a residency then for my own self-worth, but it's not a requirement. It's hitting me hard in physiology. I feel like I'm going to fail and have to retake it anyway so why bother dragging my ass out to an 8am class? Clearly that's something I need to get over. I'm working on it.
What isn't helping this is my sleep problems. I take buproprion and it helps me a lot but it also makes me inable to get more than about 5 hours of sleep a night. I'm unfortunately the kind of person that needs at least 8 to feel rested. I don't know what to do about that, though. I have to take this, I don't want to get off it and try to find something else that might work, and I don't want to take a sleeping pill. I might have to give in and get a script for trazadone. I just feel like I'm taking a lot of medication on a daily basis as it is and I'm really hesitant to add anything more to my regimen. I have currently have 7 prescriptions (3 are prn), but I guess what's one more? It's like I have my own personal pharmacy on my nightstand.
