Hi,

Each step towards getting well is hard. Some steps are harder than others. Maybe the next step will be easier.
Get through this first step and get closer to feeling better.

That's all I can do is take one step at a time. If I push myself to do more I know I will crash and crash hard so I conquer one thing at a time.

Do you suffer with depression? sorry if you mentioned this already. Maybe your regular doctor would prescribe an anti depressant?
just a thought.

I can't take anti-depressants they make me very sucidal so that's not good

what about a mood stabilizer like lamictal? would he/she prescribe that?

The other suggestion I have is. That sometimes a neurologist has some
experience with behavioral drugs. Which sometimes these are considered
in the category of.

And sometimes they prescribe them for patients, so you might see if
you can get into a neurologist.

Some of the drugs that are used for mood stabilizers, and the bipolar
drugs are ones that neurologist are very familiar with.

And they then can lots of times get you into a psychiatrist.

I have a seizure disorder as well so I've been on a lot of different meds depakote made me mean lamictal no sleep or appitite neurontine dizzy all the time geodom wired seraqul slept 16 hours and hands shook bad I can't remember all the meds that haven't helped one doc told me that I'm hard to medicate but wouldn't try lithum on me I know its suppose to be good but has its bad. Having a pretty good day today pain in my neck and shoulders is at like a 6 way better than a 10+ like it is a lot of times the sun is shining outside so might go for a walk with my daughter or maybe bake something. I love baking and I make things from scratch homemade. Well hope everyone has a good day

Hope you find something that works.

Keep working on this. There are newer drugs. And maybe you could
use one of these.

Donna

wow! you have been on the medication merry-go-round.
just curious if when (if you remember) when You took the lamictal if you took it at night? Did you try taking it during the day? or were you like manic on it? not sleeping at all?
Just curious. I take it at night with out a problem but I have to take klonipin to get me to sleep. It works most nights that is unless I have had too much to drink.
