Well thanks for the responses, for some reason my account isn't posting right because I need to update my registration and give informed consent. So after I typed a great response it got lost in babble world when I got redirected to register. Ughhh!
Anyhow I slept ok last night and I made an appointment with the pdoc on Monday to talk things over. Even if I don't make any meds changes it always feels good to talk about options.
I will definitely up my D3, I am surely deficient there as I am a shift worker.
As for not wanting to take so many meds I just feel like a robot. I have lost the ability to cry in therapy when talking about sad things and music I use to love just doesn't effect me anymore. Up until cutting down on meds if I didn't have to work I might sleep 14 or 16 hours and do nothing productive. But I don't feel depressed just kind of numb and irritable. Sometimes I feel rejected and lonely.
Anyhow I feel like less meds, better food, more jogging and getting back in school is where I need to be. I've lost 35 pounds this year and I know i can keep fighting the good fight.
Sorry to babble but that's what we come here for.
