hi laurie, i'm karen. i'm glad you decided to post here, and i'm really glad you've posted on other boards as well!!! please feel free to explore and jump in threads that interest you. that's how i've had the chance to meet many amazing people.
i'm very sorry to hear about your situation with your boyfriend. that's really hard to take dear. i wish that i had the perfect words or advice to give you, but i don't. i'm sure that in time it won't hurt as bad as it does right now, but please take your time to grieve as well. it must be very hard dear. (((laurie)))
about your meds.... there is a good board here called psychobabble which deals with meds. there are a lot of insightful and helpful people over there who may be able to give you some advice about certain side effects and you could ask your pdoc about that. i've been in the situation of being overmedicated before and was to the point that i was honestly scared to leave my house. i finally started seeing a new pdoc and started all over again with a whole new set of meds. but, finally i was able to get my symptoms under control with only one medication. (i'm dx with bipolar I disorder, btw) and therapy has helped me so very much too! i've been very very lucky and worked a little to get where i am, even though i still have quite a ways to go. but, if you are feeling overmedicated, perhaps you could speak with your pdoc about it? don't give out hope that there are meds out there that will work for you dear. it sometimes takes a while, but when you do find them, it makes the journey so very worth it!!!
take care dear, and i hope to hear from you soon, kk
