I can relate. I'm only taking one drug (so far) for the MS, but currently I'm considering provigial for fatigue, but I don't want to add more drugs. And everything out there for the one severe and relatively constant pain I do have, will make me tired. Everything has a side effect.
Then throw in the topomax for migraines
800 mg of effexor and 200 mg zoloft for severe depression
two hormone pills for menopause
zantac for atypical GERD
I know the drugs are great and do help so much, but the expense and just taking them is somehow a kick in the head every time you need to take the meds.
I know it's hard. I fight with my meds all the time. I take 7 now, and it's only gong to go up. But I tried to wean myself off the hormones, which did not work. I tried it for six months and it just got worse and worse. Then I had to face it. It's hard not to feel down on those kind of days.
Still, like I tell people about the anti-Ds -- If not for the drugs I'd be dead. Not exactly the case with everything else, but I think you have to get to a point where you just have to accept things even though it's hard not to complain about it.
