Yes, I am sleeping better. But I don't care about anything. Just sit and watch TV.

I realize that it takes a while to adjust to theses meds, but I thought maybe a few days.

Is this normal for day 10? What's the normal time frame to get back to normal? Or is this (full-zombie) the new normal?

I'm getting discouraged and don't know if I should call my doctor, or give it more time. This seems to be the case where the cure is worse than the problem?

Would really appreciate some feedback from others on these same meds.

Thanks
Hi, I am sorry you are not feeling well.

I read your posts and also read where you had demanded your doctor do something at the last appt. I do understand feeling that way, for sure. Sometimes, when we make those demands and a doctor may not truly know what to do, s/he wants to help out and ... then throw a drug or a drug cocktail our way. It's often not very helpful to anyone.

If we are depressed and/or anxious due to physical challenges, it's reasonable to use an antidepressant and to also address anxiety, etc. I agree with all of our friends, you might have a better response trying one med at a time, eventually adding another if you need it. It's easier to discern side-effects, response to medication, etc, if started one at a time.

It sounds like you have had some very frustrating chronic health challenges.

I often look up drugs and drug-to-drug interactions at a site: www.drugs.com
We can all learn as much as possible about the medications we are ingesting and any "potential" interactions or "potential" side-effects.

I am so glad you have reached out here.
You have received great responses.
Hope to see you around.
