Hi there iamsotired

That was a few days ago that you posted this.   How were you over the weekend?  Any little flickers of betterment for you or was it a case of you spiralling downhill?  I sure hope it wasn't the latter.

So your psych got you onto increased meds?   Even though you're currently on them, it will take some time before the increased dosage has an effect on you.  But it hopefully won't be that long.  Just an aside - I just wonder why they haven't got a medication that can make us 'upbeat' and 'happy'?

You blood test has no doubt been completed?  When do you find out the results for that?   Was that just a matter of seeing how much of the medication is in your body so if they increase it will be ok for your body to handle?   I've had a similar style of blood test done before my last increase.

Hope to hear back from you soon

Neil
