I am curious about who else has had to take short-term disability for this. I am currently off work. I am in I.T. support for a very complex accounting/purchasing/inventory system and cannot work due to the side effects of the meds. I am in the process of changing from Neurontin to Tegretol and don't have the mental capacity to do my job (and many day to day things). My husband won't let me drive - which is probably a good thing. How long can I expect to be off work? Do STD insurance companies seem to cover this for very long? We cannot afford for me to be unemployed but I would be crushed if I was forced to go back and was fired. I wonder how this will play out and it causes me to worry every day.
