Usally I've coped well for quite a while but it appears my medication dosn't seem to be working as well as it should or I'm not responding to it as well as I should. Certainly unsettling, I've cleared my scheduel and dedicated some rest time, hope that helps.

Hi again @Former-Member ,
I'm wondering if you have any professional support, like a good GP or a psychiatrist, who could maybe review your medication?
The rest idea is also good. Good luck.

That's good news, @Former-Member . I hope it goes well.
A handy forum tip is if you type @ and click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.
It's good you got in so quickly with an emergency appointment.

Ok I'm back appointment went well. Dr was good at listening. I'm trying a supplement to my normal medication I can take this as needed or all the time since it's not a benzo. Already seen some good changes that I needed.

That sounds like a great idea your Dr had. I've never heard of that before. Be nice to control your own regulation a bit. Control is regulating in itself after all. I hope it goes well, but finding someone who's listening is a win.
