I always knew Teppy was Queen of
something.
It was only a matter of time to find out what.

So I'm in a much better headspace today, and I think I figured out why. The downside to taking meds in the morning is that I am not very awake in the mornings, and therefore am subject to occasional memory lapses. Friday morning, I couldn't for the life of me remember is I had taken my AD (and I didn't want to accidently take two), so I assumed I had and went to work. Friday was fine, but Saturday...well, even though I definitely took my pill on Saturday, I think that the 24-hour depression is a pretty good indicator that I screwed up on Friday. Blech. I'm really glad that's passed. I really don't like myself when I'm depressed, especially that incapable-of-getting-off-the-couch kind of depressed. I think I may need to put my pills on the sink each night and then stick them in the medicine cabinet once I've taken one in the morning so that I have a foolproof way to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Fwiw, I am madly in love with this AD. Not only does it tame my chronic depression nicely (without taking away anything from the normal range of my emotions), it also helps my ADHD! Oh, and it doesn't cause weight gain. Always a bonus since I'm still trying to lose the 20 lbs I gained on the old ADs.

Apparently Ohio never wants me to leave. My flight out was cancelled and I've been put on a different (non-direct) flight to Milwaukee via Philly.
Aaaarrrggghhhh.
This means arriving home three hours later. Which will top my three hour drive home from Milwaukee.
Kristin, what are you taking?
KT, would one of those daily pill organizers help? So when you are wide awake, you put the dose into little continer. So when you wake up, you open the "Tuesday" flap, take the pill. If you can't remember if you took it, open the flap and see if the pill is there or not. Just an idea.
Tiger Woods without a shirt on?
Ha! Connie, you crack me up. No, it's the senior guys. Thankfully all shirts are on. Two man teams. Each hole has a cash value. If there is a tie on the whole, the purse carrys over to the next hole. So each hole is a contest, rather than an over all strokes for the course. I'm sure a golfer could explain it better, but that gives you a jist.
Omnis, I only take one pill a day, so I'd feel pretty dumb using a huge pill organizer for one pill. I'm fine as is, I just have to use the sink method.
Brenda, Wellbutrin.
Cashmere, I'm so sorry.

sighhhh
At least you've got really great, um, cheese access in Wisconsin?
There are smaller pill organizers. Pill organizers are there for convenience and planning. Heck, I started throwing my daily vitamins in one since I get them free here and there.
There are also nice compact round ones. I have a free one from Target that's target shaped (of course).
Thanks, Daniel. I will look into that if it continues to be a problem.
So I'm trying to write my personal statement for the NEH summer seminar I'm applying to. I have a nice little outline, yet I can't seem to get past the first sentence of the actual essay. I need inspiration from the muse. Or possibly some chocolate.

I highly recommend this as well. I know it feels dumb for one pill, but if I didn't do that, I'd never take my morning pills. Night pills are in my routine, but morning ones are a different story.
I'm glad the new med is working so well for you, though. That's great news.
Cashmere, that's so frustrating. I hope you get home safe and sound.

I went the chocolate route. It's still not helping this paper write itself.
