In the past two months I've had three medication changes.
I've gone from #Adderall XR for my #ADHD to #Strattera / #Atomoxetine which has made my #insomnia worse and isn't providing as much benefit as Adderall did (but the Adderall was making me bitchy and, since I didn't take it on weekends, worthless on weekends where I'd just sleep). It also makes me extremely constipated.
I've switched from #medroxyprogesterone to just #progesterone which seemed to improve my mood but made me a bit more emotional.
Then I just switched from oral #estradiol to once weekly injections.
I feel like crap. My emotions are a garbage fire on a roller coaster, I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep (I'm not sure if I'm getting to REM when I am asleep), I get so sleepy during the day that it effects my ability to do my job. My stomach hurts and I've gained about 10 pounds.
Also seasonal allergies so my throat hurts from all the drainage.
That's it. I just wanted to rant to Internet strangers.
I'm on vacation next week which I desperately need. We aren't traveling or doing anything special. My birthday and my wife's birthday are both next week.
We don't travel because there is still a pandemic and she's high risk.
