I haven't written in a while.... Mood

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 | A General Update story

It's been a while since I wrote....My psychiatrist uped my zoloft another 50mg, now I'm on 250mg a day. I stopped by and talked to my neurologist about my headaches, told him nothing was working. He can't put me on a certain migraine med because I'm on zoloft and they can't be mixed, however he did give me Darvocet to try and 1 every 4 hours didn't work, so I took 2 and the headaches disappeared along with the fibro pain in my back. I think the pain in my back up into my neck was causing the migraines. I don't need the pain med all the time sometimes motrin will help but when it gets to bad I have the darvocet which worked great.

I don't have to much going on, I'm still babysitting the munchkin, he's so darn cute, he's crawling and pulling himself up now, he'll be keeping me on my toes.

....I stopped the 25 mg of Elavil at night, I was put on that by the Rhuemetologist for the fibro. I think it's made me gain weight, I did quit smoking but usually you only gain around 10lbs, I have put on 30lbs and seem to be still gaining. So I went off the elavil to see what happens.

I hope quitting the Elavil works! Also hope you can fall asleep easily without it! Before my blood pressure was high I used to drink Alka Seltzer PM for migraines...it worked pretty good!!! Babysitting probably helps with the excercizing

I give up on my last comment! Everytime I try and correct the word 'exercising' I end up back on my page! Oh well, I still haven't been to bed since I talked to you last night! I'm going now:)

I gained weight on Zolofot so keep that in mind as they keep increasing your dosage also how did you quit smoking? I sarted back because I gained so much weight and now I cant quit
