Thanks so much Gracie, you sound great despite what you're going through with the divorce and all. You will be just fine. You sound strong. I hear you about the topic switch soooooooo
The vitamins sound good but your right---
10mg of Potasssium-howd they leave that out? I almost get more in the Propel lol
Tab soda!!!!!! yuk! My brother remembers that stuff too. Man the saccharin would kill a flea. I don't drink coffee never liked the stuff-but I do pop into Starbucks once in a while for a Frappachino.
I spent 3 weeks in the hospital for medication trials and I hear ya there. I felt like a guinea pig-I guess I was-I tried Abilify, and Trileptal, nope, Resperdal-nope, Wellbutrin-nope.
I know, how do we drag ourselves through the day when we just seem to think we can't--but we do-and that what makes it great I guess. It's hard and it does suck sometimes.
It sounds like you do work for a really nice guy and that's great! You are very lucky.
I have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on I graduate next year finally!!! Now I am tying up loose ends but they are long loose ends.
1 more thing about the propel, the sweetness comes from sucrose syrup and the rest is all natural. In the past I drank nothing like this but yes even 10 calories suits my taste-it gets my water for the day in. Ever since the Topamax I quit sodas-it's weird-I drank tons of them and now zippo-after I tasted them and they started tasting like metallic chemicals I gave em up.
Don't need the caffeine anyway.
I'm taking a Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc combo by Schiff now it seems to be good. I'll check this other one out.Thanks so much again
Have a great week!Gal

> Not working too much right now, I'm sort of easing back into it - I'm trying really hard not to put too much on my plate because it always sets me back. If my personal life was better I could handle more work for sure, but my husband is real busy divorcing me after 20 years so he can be with his girlfriend so now I have to deal with all THAT crap, man it just never ends. But my therapist tells me I'm handling it better than most (normal) people do, imagine that.

> Anyway, I better say something about medication so we don't get moved to another board, that just confuses me. I had a very hard time working through the medication trials - Depakote, Prozac, Wellbutrin - and while I was still adjusting to the Seroquel, wading through the brain fog and being SO tired, just making it to work was an enormous effort. I remember sitting in my car every morning looking at the door into the building, wondering how in the hell I was going to drag myself through another day.

> Okay, that's behind me...right now I have a weekend job & do PRN work for a couple of orthopedic doctors. I'm sort of gauging myself at this work to see how I hold up - the doc I work for on Saturdays, he knows about me and doesn't get upset if I screw up once in awhile - in fact he can tell I'm improving & I know he's glad for me, he's a really nice guy.

> Hmmmm, kind of a weak finish for such a great start...I didn't notice how lame the potassium was until right now, so I'm glad you asked! I need the stuff too, I've got high blood pressure.
>
> Anyway, the Propel sounds good, only 10 calories and you like the taste? I can't abide most things with artificial sweetener, although they're getting better with taste all the time. Remember
> Tab soda?? Gag me with a spoon. I don't care much for soda anyway, I'm a coffee hound...just another reason why I need all that water. I'll keep an eye out for the Propel & I better get some potassium too! No problem, love bananas.
