So last night was the last class for one of my classes. I will be glad for the semester to end and to have a january break.
i think maybe the adderrall is working. it seems to have raised my mood and energy level and depressed my appetite; i don't think it is the dramatic results he was hoping for but it is working. downside is it seems to be raising my heart rate. i usually don't take the 2nd dose on the weekends and i can generally feel it on Monday morning. but i also know it may be working a bit too well as I am not going to bed until like 2 am. seems there is no real happy medium with me.
but it is nice to get a few more things done. what sucks now is the multitude of dr's visits. therapist once a week. psych dr. once a month. PCP one every 3 months or more depending on the test results from the frequent blood tests. specialists along the way. my primary dr. wanted to send me for a sleep apnea test. i managed to talk her out of it. i don't want to test for anything else until i am stable so that i can eliminate the depression as causing most of the fatigue (which i know it is).
But everyone seems committed to helping me get thru this. i am hoping that this time around I throw myself 100% into doing my part even when it is hard. i am going to stick to the therapy for a bit as a safety net. plus since she is in the office with my pdoc i think they can monitor the side effects and effectiveness of the meds better.
