I'm hating my medication

Its side-effects are ruining me and my relationship with my fiance. I don't know what to do about it.

>_<

2. It's making me sleepy

Because of that, it's interfering with contacting my SO (long-distance relationship)

3. sorry to hear that. have you talked to your doc?

maybe there is something better for you, or maybe there is something that will help you with you problem. keep trying.
long distance relationships are so hard. does SO know what is going on?

6. grr. i hate that.

elusive docs suck. glad my docs are all in a system that has email. they usually respond pretty quickly, sometimes with a phone call. although they do loose them sometimes.
hope you can get that straightened out, but in the meantime, sleep if you need sleep. nothing will jack you up faster than not getting enough sleep.
take care.
