Medication Increase

At the start of writing this, it is 2am on Thursday. 

My mind is constantly racing with thoughts that are not very pleasant. I just really don’t even know how to explain it right now. My GP did an increase of any anti-depressant from 150mg to 225mg; ever since starting the increase (which was about a week ago now). The constant headaches and lack of sleep are really fucking my body up big time. I am usually getting a few hours during the day and am awake all night, no matter how much I try to lie down in bed and try to sleep.

It is going to be another month of running low on pain medication. Might try and see if we can raise it by a box for a month or two and then reduce it back. My GP is pretty understanding when it comes to this. 

Also, I need to get onto DCJ to fix the damn fucking toilet all over again. Same problem, same falls, same fucking drama as twice before now.

  1. Any improvement since upping your dosage Zac? Constant headaches and lack of sleep are certainly not nice things to be having.

    Keep at it mate, don’t let the pain win. You can do it.

    As we are all different, a lot of trial and error unfortunately takes place with different pain medications 🙁

    I hope you are getting enough support.

    1. Not really. If it is going to work, it will take about another 7 days before any improvement is seen. Apparently, it takes roughly 21 days to see any changes after such an increase in this medication.
