Getting annoyed with my meds
 
Hi,

I've got two main issues that I deal with almost everyday:
1) fatigue,
2) tremendous brain fog.


I dream of one day of reducing one or two of my meds.

For right now I will tough it out.

But I have to say that I am having a hard time functioning.

Same here Mari, I have trouble getting things done sometimes because of fatigue but a lot of that is due to not using my CPAP at this time due to a sore under my nose from using the large sized mask. :p

I hope things get better so you CAN reduce one or even two of your meds, that would be awesome. :D

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time Mari.:(
Which med do you think is causing the brain fog?

I hope you start to figure out the brain fog soon. I really understand the
brain fog I've been through it a lot lately. Its doing much better right now.

And I'm just always going through the fatigue too.

Hi Sameeeze
I was dull on depakote, couldn't take that. so went off of it by myself...not a good thing to do. So talk with tour pdoc.
there is a disabilty forum here under the main topics you may want to post there as well.
welcome

Was also going to state wellbutrin and depakote made my oldest very
tired when he was on this combination at the same time.

So if you are on a very high dosage of seroquel too be really careful.

Welcome Sam!

Your story sounds familiar.

My doctor has experimented and heard about folks taking various meds to help with "brain fog" induced by their illnesses and medication. They include Ritalin (although this can cause mania in those with bipolar) and Aricept (a medication traditionally use to treat Alzheimer Disease). Provigil can be very beneficial as well.
