Last week was a rough one for my family. Jake was once again in trouble for 1/2 the week but towards the end started behaving. He went to his grandma's house on Saturday and went to pumpkin patch. Sidenote :Kind of irritated my parents made me do ALL the driving when they know we are struggling to make it and they are more than well off. Next time they want to see him THEY can do all the driving. Wwhich they hate b/c they feel a 45 minute drive is TOO far to see thier grandchildm yet they'll drive 2.5 hours to see my grandma. It's whatever.
My psych doctor prescribed me a sleeping med b/c I don't sleep and when I do it's for about an hour at a time. She prescibed seriquil I HATE IT!!!!! So I quit taking it since it was just for sleep. Let me tell you the 3 weeks I took it my body got soo used to it that I could NOT sleep last week AT ALL. I think I got on average MAYBE 2 hours a night & the sleep I did get I woke up every 15 minutes. So that did not help my attitude. Then the seriquil felt like it knocked out my bi polar med so i was a complete BITCH. Caused a fight or 10 with Steve to the point once again I threatened to leave yet as much as I try to blame him I know in hindsight it's me and my mouth and actions that cause the fights. The first month of meds were GREAT, I felt normal. There was no insane crazy fighting. We were getting along great! Now I'm hoping this week since I haven't taken the sleeping med for a week that my normal meds will kick in correctly again. I also HATE the fact my psych doctor is only in for like 3 hours on a Thursday, that is NOT enough time to actually take care of your patients that you put on dangerous meds. Seriquil is a HIGHLY dangerous sleeping aid that is known to cause and prevoke violence, which I told her was NOT a good med for me yet she prescribed it anyway. It kind of made me think she gets a "reward" for every prescription she writes for it. Some drug companies do that with doctors, I know because I've seen it. So I will be bringing it up to her next time I see her.
Always, Nickie
