Better…ish

Everyday, Not so sane June 15th, 2006

I was waaaay medicated yesterday, and today I remain medicated, but I less so.

The diagnosis for this whole mess was as a “side effect” of one of my meds. My understanding for “jittery” was far different from the Doc’s. The jitteryness started. I freaked out. Then a panic attack. Then a visit to the headshrinker who immediatly took me off the offending meds. Then home, to take the tranquilizer. Then sleep. And somewhere in there was a dinner of potato pancakes.

Today the jitters remain, although, not to the degree that they were before. I remain on the main medication and the tranquilizer. but I didn’t go into work. I was more than a little embarrassed about the panic attack. My coworkers were wonderful for shielding me from prying eyes. I am every grateful for their understanding.

I’m glad that mess is over.

    I am so sorry for what you went through. I’m glad the worst part of this episode is in the past. Let me know if I can do anything…granted I am 2200 miles away…but I am here.

    It’s okay. When you play with the brain, strange things can hapen. The one lesson I learned is that - Panic attacks suck!!! :)
