there is something seriously wrong with me
but lest you all think i am truly an unbalanced mental freak, let me assure you, i'm pretty well integrated, live independently, can handle life in general.

but if i miss my mid-day neurontin/gabapentin, i am an unpredictable shrew. mrs v and i were changing sheets & folding laundry and i went from laughing to irritated to playing w/ the cat to so angry i nearly broke a tooth clenching my jaw to scaring the wits outta mrs v to going outside and sobbing.

better living through chemistry (TM) only works when you remember to ingest your chemicals.

I don't know who Graves is and I don't like Hargitay.

16. Been there done that
Stop the neurontin, sweetheart. It's briliant for the people it works for... the rest of us? Well, it sucks.


Khash.

18. Khash, it works.
It's making a difference, especially since I went from 600 to 900 mg.

Tell me this: why are psychiatrists so unreliable? The one I have now has me taking this drug and one other, but dammit, why can't i get him to set an appointment? Argh.

And I don't want to change meds. GAWD that is such a miserable process.

20. I know how that feels
Some days I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my ass. Are my chemicals making things better or worse. I just try to slog through one day at a time.
