More meds for me
Well it’s week.. 3? 4? I can’t even remember. The Shepherd Pratt intensive outpatient program isn’t bad but it’s not great either. I’m learning a few things, but overall it’s all stuff I already know. With 5 group therapy sessions a day, you’d think I’d be getting more out of it. I’m still rating pretty high on the blah scale (from 0 to 10, with 0 being no blah feelings at all, I’m at about an 8). So today they added yet another pill to my cocktail. Now I have 6 pills a day to take, plus the one pill that is “as needed.” I have heard people say they have gone off their meds and they did really well. I hate taking all these damn pills. Why can’t I be one of those people?
Oh and I just found this out about the new medication: Lamotrigine prescribing information has a black box warning about life threatening skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. (which causes your outer and inner layers of skin to separate)
