It seems like we all get to the point of being fed up with lack of energy/motivation and being plain stupid from our meds. I have spent months telling myself I will get things done tomorrow. Every single tomorrow slips thru my fingers. Finally I decided to hold of on my morning dose of gabapentin as long as possible, often past 1 pm. It is so wonderful to have a glimpse of who I was before TN. Of course, I pay for it later and am waking up with the zaps in my face. But sometimes we just have to get stuff done.
Thats why i got ritalin PRN from neuro for stupid meds!
Now i am back on them
post-stroke and with chronic fatige syndrome
Or i would get nothing done. : )
My neuro is useless but I might talk to my PC about this. I get a little spurt of energy to do a few things and then...poof...all done. Seriously, just getting around to laundry sometimes takes days, lol!
These drugs are idiosyncratic, try Lyrica perhaps. I had less fog with it. Take more at night, and less in the morning. Play with the dosages. This is all witchcraft, the doctors do not know exactly what dose you need, you have to figure out the least amount of medication you need.
I ride the bicycle path otherwise it is the coach. I met another fellow doing the same thing. He said Lyrica made him hallucinate. It did nothing for me.
