Yesterday, I blogged about a new medicine. Now, In all honestly, I did not take any medicine the night before yesterday because I smoked at a huge concert. But, yesterday I knew I'd have to monitor this new med so I've been sober 4 days before the concert, and I didn't touch anything yesterday either. So my new med is tegrotol. However you spell that. Anyways, I was super tired last night. I thought well I have been loosing sleep lately. Could it be my girlfriends prego side effects. Obviously i googled/youtube carmazopine (however you spell that. ) I found a lot on drowsiness ! DAMN ! It seems like I can't win. I told the nurse I don't want to get back on depakote because of weight gain so now I feel like I'm possibly taking something that will not allow me to stay up late enough to work on music. If you know me, you know that I will be having some inner conflict. I will do as the Dr. says and go back on a mood tracker. Thank God , I see the Dr. next week. The thing that worried me was that the nurse told me stay off the wellbutrin because it's making my mania worse, yet told me to wheen off the lamictl, yet the pharmacy cautioned me about taking tegratol and lamictal, which the nurse didn't . I'm taking just the tegrotl once a day at 200mg in the morning with food until I see the Dr. Even if I experience BS side effects, I will do as instructed. I know my queen will help me get through this. Well, that is all for now . Wish me luck down medicine lane. Stressed and blessed. Oh and I did take 15 mg of adderol yesterday w the tegrotal. I get my rx next week so I figured whatever I might have laying around would be ok. I'm only supposed to be taking 10mg a day.
