I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I know what happens if I don't stay on them.
I hate who I am when I'm off the plan. Devistating.
Which drug does that to your arms? Maybe you can just skip that?
If I take Litium & Lamictal at the same time, I get the arm jumpies. See if you can isolate the cause.
Do you pill box em? I pill box my mass of meds because if I had to spend the time everyday digging in the bottles I would feel overwhelmed to. I have about 12 bottles 2 or 3 are prns... most are only one pill a bottle but its still over whelming. I would try to figure out what meds are making you jumpy... they may be able to make it a morning med so that you get better sleep
Keep taking them as prescribed nomatter what if you need a change contact your pdoc

Take half the dose and all other meds, if there are any. And keep a record of your emotions in a journal. That will look good when you see your pdoc.
If it works fine for a while then cut that in half again, and keep the log up daily.
i do track my moods and reactions though with a real cool mood graph i got off line...
