Scaling Back On Medication

I don't think I had mentioned that my trip to the nut house, and yes I can call it that since I was admitted there, was in February. But Since I had been placed on a few different medications, I began to feel like a zombie. It got to the point that I couldn't function during the day. I could barely take care of my kids and without a support system, things were impossible. So I decided to scale back the medication myself.

I was going to discuss this with my doctor when I saw her at our next appointment but she canceled so we entered into playing phone tag. Finally we talked and she agreed with me that I only take the medication at night so that I can feel a little more like a human being. In the middle of all of this I went for blood work she ordered and here my thyroid is severely under active, yay. So, more medication, plus new medication for headaches and back pain. I'm on eight different pills at night. I feel like my on pharmacy!

The good news is that after seeing my doctor the other day it looks like I might be able to go off of a couple of my medications by the end of the month so hopefully I will feel even more like myself.
