New drugs and old school drugs!

I'm taking an old school sleeping med, the name fails me right now, but it has helped so far. Of course, it isn't covered by my insurance since it's not a huge money making "as seen on tv" drug. There aren't any butterflies landing on me if ya know what I mean...

My newest addition in the fight for pain control is Topamax. I've been on a low dose for a total of 2 nights with no evil side effects, which is a good sign. I haven't noticed any improvements in pain, but I have room to move with the dosage, so that might be the next step in a few days. As long as the room isn't spinning, my head is clear, and I can keep my feet on the floor then I'll keep trying the drug.

SSD Review Update:

Just a few days until the (unnecessary, IMO) SSD mental status examination. I received a reminder letter today that says I have to bring the letter and all my medications in the original bottles. Guess I better pull out a piece of luggage to haul all my loot!
