I had an appointment with my psychiatrist earlier today. He was quite pleased that I have started to feel a bit better, and still thinks I’m doing absolutely fabulous in terms of dealing with such a tough illness; I have to agree. The appointment lasted about forty-five minutes, and by the end, we had both agreed that I should add another medicine to the mix as a sleep aid.     

         Not sleeping has really been hard on me. Since last January, I’m averaging about two and a half hours of sleep per night (no, I’m not manic). In the same time I have gained an incredible amount of weight. But the worst part of insomnia is the boredom. But now that I’ve added another med, this time the anti-psychotic medicine Seroquel, I hope I will be able to sleep more. Hopefully I will get this prescription fill this afternoon.

        Well, it is the middle of the night right now, so I will try to get back to bed. I just wanted to let my readers know the latest on my medication regimen.
