today has been harder than others. my psychiatrist put me on a new medication to help my insomnia and it's taking a bit to get used to. i feel tired, worn out and useless, atp. work is becoming more and more difficult
Hello imnotatrashcan, Starting new medication is always an adjustment period. Have you noticed any benefit to the medication? Are there any side effects that might explain some of the changes that are making things more challenging? Have you tried noting changes that you experience and providing that feedback to you psychiatrist, to see what they think? I find these questions to be helpful when addressing concerns regarding medications, and to provide the answers you come up with to your medication provider. I hope this finds you well and know that at NOCD, we are always here to help! Take care, Ian M. Reeder
@Ian Reeder hi, mr. Reeder! i've noticed lots of benefits form my new medication, especially since i've had more time to get used to it; it definitely makes me adequately tired to sleep well through the night, though i consistently struggle with getting myself out of bed in the morning, just to take my medication that will energize me and improve my mood. i haven't noticed any notable changes compared to my last medication, so i may need to inform my psychiatrist of this the next time i see them. thank you for your helpful insight and concern!! ☺️
