Experiment gone awry Mood
Saturday, November 8, 2008 | An Educational story

A bit of advice; let the doctors do their job and don't self-medicate.  I always think I can figure anything out.   I decided to stop taking Artane, since the prescription refill was not covered except through mail-order (more on that later).  I am not sleepy, just exhausted all the time.   Walking is certainly worsened and I periodically have odd(er) dreams, and I have this nasty cold.

 

Good news.   Artane is working again now that I am taking it as the doctor ordered.  I left the decision making part of my brain in my sock drawer.
