I’m gonna vent again and I feel like a broke record. I’m trying so hard to contain myself. The med tweaks are still not affecting me the way I hoped. I have been having worse sleep since October and they have constantly been jacking up my lamictal which I take at night. Last night I skipped it (and took it this morning instead) and got 5-6 hours sleep vs 3. I’m hoping I am onto something but I’ve said that before in the last few months and it never works. Having very pressured speech at work and have gotten pulled back twice. Luckily I tend to be an overachiever so they aren’t throwing me out… yet.
You’ve been struggling with sleep for so long! It must be hellish. I really hope they can figure out the meds. And please don’t feel like a broken record. You’re going through a lot!
