Thank God for prescription meds..

Well I'll start off first by telling you. I'm taking a sleeping pill. Only after I'd been taking it for awhile did I find out it's actually also used for a mild antidepressant. Well at the time it didn't matter because I wasn't up half the night. Worrying, thinking, panicking over something I had no control over. I do so much more thinking at night. It’s never a great time for that. As I have no way to change things.

So anyway. I put in for a refill on 1/3 well here it was 1/9 and nothing. So I call my doctor to see if they could put in the request. Well by the afternoon 1/10 my refill was ready. You know that really weird thing. That while I had not taken my pill for about a week. I started feeling antsy and really on edge. I was getting worked up in traffic, with people in general. So then.. I was wondering if this could be because either 1. I hadn't gotten the best sleep or 2. It was actually the antidepressant that was actually keeping me "sane". Whatever the case is, I'm a happy camper today. YEAH!!

I also am excited to say that I did 3.25 miles on my treadmill last night. I did 2.5 on Monday night. I'm dieting but also not doing 100% great. I sneak a little taste here and there. But I'm doing great. I'm feeling pretty good physically. Now if only my mood would stay like this. I'd be living high... ;)

That's so great that you did all that work on your treadmill! GOOD FOR YOU!

And about the pill...you need to talk to your doctor about that and see what s/he says. I think she needs to know how you were feeling without it. ((hugs))

Well I'm thinking that if I tell her and I will, that she'll just say. Well makes all the more sense for you to be on it. But who knows. Just assuming. I'll have to tell her. But I'd hate to make and appt. Pay my $20 copay. Just to tell her that and have her make me more like an idiot. LOL Chicken shit I am huh?

Way to go on the workout!! I need to follow your lead.

I think if the pill is helping that's all that really matters. I mean you wouldn't want to take something just for the sake of taking it =)
