Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

Believe it or not, the side effect I'm most worried about right now is the drowsiness! I started birth control a couple weeks ago, and even my doctor thinks I'm off my rocker, but it makes me absolutely fatigued. I have a freelance editing project I'm working on right now, due next week, and I'm already a little behind because I can't stay awake... throwing more drowsiness into the works would be a disaster. That's kind of why I'm leaning towards a night dose.

Of course, the pharmacy literature with it - very helpful (snort) - just says to take it the same time every day. Not with/without food, not morning/night, nothing. Ah well.

I'm glad to hear yours are working for you! Chocolate, huh? Hmm, maybe there's hope for me yet. I was very resistant to getting on a med for this, but after seeing a therapist for a month, it suddenly dawned on me that therapy takes a lot longer than a pill. (Duh. I know; I can be a pretty dim bulb sometimes.) I'm still not expecting an overnight miracle, but feeling better sometime in the next couple months would be wonderful. I kind of miss eating, but I'm too panicked to do it.

And no... we STILL don't have a closing date on the cussed house!!! It seems like it's been one thing after another. Now we have a possible eviction from our apartment looming over heads too, so yeah... sunshine and roses all around. But hopefully we'll get out of here soon... and hopefully YOU'LL get moved soon, too. I can't even believe you're still waiting too!
