Good to hear you're doing a bit better. I hope it was the class making you sleepy! (As long as you don't have to keep taking them!)

I'm seeing my pdoc next week. I hope he's willing to try something else for my drowsiness, because I have to get off caffeine. I'm waking up with hellacious headaches. I started adding some Prozac a few days ago - that's helping a tiny bit, but the effect will wear off.

I don't know if you've seen the movie Requiem for a Dream (from a few years ago, Mom (Ellen Burstyn) gets addicted to diet pills (speed) and son (Jared Leto) is addicted to heroin). I just saw it on cable a few weeks ago. If you haven't seen it, let's just say Mom goes through some harrowing stuff with the speed. And I found myself watching, thinking "well, at least I'd get the house clean" (if I were on speed). Something's not right with that!

I will say a prayer and keep my fingers crossed for you to feel awake. Please let me know if you do find some relief.

I just realized that I could change that song: Wake Up, Little Snoozy! Wake Up!

> I'm doing a bit better; I hate to say this but I was taking a three-week intensive class that was so slow and boring that I think it was inducing SOME (not all) of the drowsiness! Now that it's over I still feel drowsy, told my pdoc at recent appointment and he is gradually going to wean me off several of the sedating meds I'm on. It's going to be a long, arduous process because we have to take it one med at a time and taper gradualy because if he had me reduce two at a time and I had reactions we would not know which one was causing them, or if it was both, etc.

> So, I'm starting with Buspar, weaning off over the course of two weeks. Please say a prayer for me, keep your fingers crossed, etc. I'm really tired (no pun intended) of feeling like what someone on here aptly called a "walking drugstore". And I'm also tired of feeling tired all the time!
