Lost in the labyrinth of chemicals . . . that's how I feel. In the process of trying to find something that would work even better, I seemed to have screwed up bigtime. I traded remeron for zyprexa. I had a good day. Now I think it was a mistake. Let's see . . . from anafranil to zyprexa? A to Z. I've done them all. Well not quite. But I am lost . . . plus I have added alochol to the mix again.
I can't focus or relax today. I start something only to decide something else is more important, so I stop. Then nothing seems urgent - then everything. Nothing I do is the right thing.

I can see why you would feel that way, Greg. You really have been through a lot.
>plus I have added alochol to the mix again.
As a recovery alcoholic myself, I know exactly how that is. Still, as we do know, it is a bad idea. It occurs to me that if you are adding alcohol in, something is really not too good with your meds.
I wonder . . . instead of tweaking and tweaking, does anyone ever just go back to the beginning, and start over again from nothing or something very basic?
> I can't focus or relax today. I start something only to decide something else is more important, so I stop. Then nothing seems urgent - then everything.You wrote that at 9:00 last night, Greg (my time). (I am sorry I didn't see it last night.) How are things today? Can folks here help you prioritize, perhaps? Or help you break something down into suitably small tasks, so that you can at least get started on something?
Hope you are feeling better today.

Nothing you do is the wrong thing either - it's a process. I know that sounds very zen and all, but there is truth there . . . don't beat yourself up over how you're dealing with stuff, just keep on trying to move forward. (and forward can be backward when you're in a maze!) I am sorry you're feeling so "off," I too feel like the mad chemist trying to balance myself out. But I was really down on saturday and it passed (meaning, I was able to get out of my bathrobe, major feat some days). Greg, the drinking is the worst of it. I turn to drinking to "get me through" when I feel like shit, but it just makes the getting through process that much longer. Take care of yourself. . .
