It was hard to recover from a tough start to the day. I did not get a good night's sleep, and that bothered me. Always does. On my first night, I took 200mg Seroquel and 2mg Klonopin and slept only about three hours. I took 25mg of Seroquel and 2mg of Klonopin and when I awakened and it did not help. I took two Benadryl tablets and finally got three more hours.
Enough about that. In the early part of today, I was spooked. I have always read about MAOIs on this board but never knew I would take one myself. Seems like the people in the worst situation end up taking them. Therefore, by that logic, I must be in the group of people that are in the worst shape. I tried to counter that thought by telling myself that my doctor is one of the country's top researchers and he gave it to me because he has good idea it will have a positive effect. Oh what a battle of the mind.
I have to admit, though, that I am feeling better than yesterday on the patch. I know the doc said I would be unlikely to feel a difference until at least nine days, but my thoughts are more clear and my mood appears a little better. I don't think it has done anything with anxiety, but again it's early. I am hoping and praying God will give me the strength and courage to make it through 4-5 weeks on this med to give a shot.
Thanks everyone for your input. I live and sleep on this board, so any advice or insight is greatly appreciated. I need HOPE.
