Redtail,
you are right, the side effects that come as a "package deal" with our effective meds. are really very frustrating for physicians and patients alike.
as to books, they used to be my best friends (never had a dog), but it's been a while since I have been able to read books for pleasure.
it's now quite a task for me to read. although I never gave it up, but can't just crawl in bed with a book, like I used to.
and I assume it is true that it is too dark to read inside a dog (although never really tried it) but possibly you could using a flashlight?
I used to do that when I was a kid and didn't want my parents to "catch" me still reading ( I was a real book worm) in the middle of the night, so I would hide under the covers and use a flashlight to read, and it really worked well.
