Well. The short story goes like this: got medication, got complications, got off medication, got some detox effects, had tests, will have way more tests.

The longer version... well, it's longer.

This is just a stab in the dark, but maybe you have an underactive thyroid? My mom has hypothyroidism, with low blood pressure and a tendency to fall asleep/get fatigued easily. She has a friend who has it bad enough that she falls asleep behind the wheel. I really hope they figure out the cause of it soon, and it's nothing serious.

But that would be easy, and we can't have that!

Actually, thyroid exams are the first things they do to all their patients, since it's such a common cause. So no luck there for me. But I can always use a *hug* :) There's one back at ya.

Good to hear that. We were missing you. :) Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Yeah, for once I'm feeling hopeful as well. I figure it always has to get worse in order to get better.

Oh wow. *hugs* Hope things go better for you!

[rinoared]

Thanks dear :) Here's hoping as well! At least I now feel I have a fighting chance.

So Rinoa's LIFE was destroyed by DRUGS! Well all right so it's not good if depression/ADD is destroying it anyway, but why do the side effects of so much mental health medicine have to be just about as appealling as the original problem??

[rinoared]

I guess it's because they figure the intense and weird side effects are JUST the thing to get your mind off silly things like, oh, crippling depression. I have to say, my mental state did improve on the Evil Pill, it's just everything else that went wrong. But hey, at least I was smiling through those spasms!
