so i took the 50mg of Seroquel at noon, with my 200mg of Neurontin.

at 12:35 i was yawning and on my way home from work.  i had given my boss the heads up that my meds had changed slightly, and that if i was unsteady on my feet or seem to have a big case of The Stupids, there was a reason.

i’m beginning to really hate it, the Seroquel.

i spent all afternoon crashed on the couch, spaced out on the xb0x, playing a certain colorful puzzle game and housing my husband’s high scores.

at 5pm i took 50 more mg.  and was asleep by 6.  it’s increasingly difficult for me to wake up.  normally, before this charming addition to my medication, i would get up at 230am and was in the office by 4am.  this was normal, and has been for about 5 years.  this morning i didn’t even wake up until 430.  the small upside this situation is that i’m calm enough to not get stressed about “being late” for work.

i’m leery about driving and thank a deity that i don’t operate heavy machinery for a living.

unfortunately, the Neurontin doesn’t seem to be taking care of the pain in my neck as it previously did.  i’m chalking it up to a serious increase in my stress level.

i’m vaguely dissatisfied.  but what else is new?
