Dreams

I can usually tell when the drugs I am taking are either not the right strength, or are not working. I have awoke to dreams that seem terror filled. And yet the actual subject matter is benign . I wake up to feelings of It has happened again.
At three in the morning I awake. Again I am trying to use suggestions, positive affirmations to help de-program my overly tired brain. I am trying to come off of Colonapren and down on risperdal simultaneously . Not a great picture.  Half a sleep when I write, but do so anyway to get angst out about the early risings .
I have restless movement of trunk and legs as well . Try to sleep, does not relieve the problem.  Seems to me that this was the same problem the last time.
The the naggings of the Chiropractor come to mind. Put anything into the body and you affect it's normal function.

I decided very shortly afterward that I would go back up on the tranquilizer and the risperdal. I am  happier, less frightened, though I still go through bouts of anxiety. It is as if my brain once it has walked down the path of anxiety and depression has trained itself to run down that path when I am reacting to most anything. But there are certain things that trigger it more than other things.
Travel, especially in cars, and working doing my job. Both things I have done all my life. So what is it? The psychiatrist says that I need to have my mind filled with creative happy thoughts. When driving I am better when distracted with singing with the radio or just listening to it. When it is slow at work is when the anxiety is worse.

Ropinirole: Compounding Migraines?

I am still having migraines, but constantly now. Dr. Karabatos has told me to stop the Ropinirole (Requip), which was prescribed to stop the restless leg problem, and see if the migraines are helped. He took my blood pressure an it was very low. Since ropinirole can make a person dizzy and faint, this might be adding to the problem. I wonder if potassium is needed. Or sodium.
I have passed the reduction of the paroxitine (Paxil). I was going into depression and the implant pulled me up at least twice these past two weeks. I seem to be getting stronger in that aspect as the days go by.
Doctor Karabatos as changed my thyroid med to .150mg Synthyroid and I will start taking it tommorrow. He has added a new cholesterol drug in hopes of bringing down the bad cholesterol. It is not generic and will cost at least 50 bucks (I expect). Dr K wants me to have a lower abdomen CT scan to check the liver. I have a high liver enzymes and perhaps the drugs are causing some sort of damage.

Falling Out of Bed

I have run out of a medication that the doctor had given me. It is for restless leg syndrome. It helps me to not fall out of bed, and to sleep deeply and soundly. I have been rolling around and out of bed. Again. I am a walking pill factory now. But I must have something that will help me sleep soundly. Apparently it is another part of the depression. So I will get a script for it. Another possible 50.00 a month. Arrrrugh. But I need not to roll around and fall out of bed. I am still fighting this teeth thing. It has been about three weeks. Any stress brings out the depression. I will be ok, I just need to hold on for another few weeks. Weather will change. Teeth problems will go away. I will take a small vacation to Rhode Island.
