New drug is new; WTH Good Wife?
Well, it was time to do something about the meds. Nothing was interesting, I've been isolating, and was having panic attacks even at home. Not good. So the doctor put me on Seroquel, be cause one mood stabilizer is not enough! I'm already on the highest dosage of the Cymbalta and Lamital, so this is the next thing since I can't switch from the Cymbalta. She asked if I wanted to try lithium, but that's a pain in the butt with blood tests every month.
Seroquel tends to make you sleepy. I managed to drag myself out of bed on Saturday after the first half-dose, but slept most of yesterday away. Two bottle of Pepsi kept me awake at work today. We'll see how I fare tomorrow. I have to watch my sugar and cholesterol with this stuff, and my weight, since weight gain is a side effect, too.
So this Wednesday with the second week since I sprained my ankle and scraped up my knee and two thirds of my calf. This is what I get for going walking and trying to be healthy. :sigh:
I was going to get back to walking this weekend, but with the new meds and the rain, it didn't happen.
I got a Fitbit a couple weeks back and it's been interesting the things I'm learning. First, I was working myself too hard for my age. My heart rate was too high at the pace I was going. Second, I didn't realize I was walking so much at work. Third, I'm restless a lot at night. I don't know if it's my restless leg syndrome or something else.
So The Good Wife is wrapping up its series, but someone needs to tell the writers that. They opened up all these storylines that are not going to be able to be resolved with the one show they have left. Will JDM's character Jason ride off into the sunset by himself? He keeps stealing my breath every time he smiles. So not fair. My brother just laughs and threatens to turn on the hose. Like that will help.
I had an idea for my photo op with Richard. Take my big suitcase, open it on the photo op floor and pretend like I'm kidnapping Richard and putting him in it. Heh heh heh.
