I have not taken that medication, but I do have PTSD. I know medication can be unbalanced or maybe not the right fit for everyone. If it worked in the past it may not work now. I was on medication for something else for 6 months and it helped me get through that time. However, It stopped working and my symptoms changed and actually got worse. I realized I had just replaced one symptom with another so my doctor had me stop the medication and things got back on track.

What I’m saying is don’t give up, be willing to give it time to either adjust to your system again or possibly find an alternative that doesn’t cause as many other symptoms. Listen to your body and don’t force yourself to work when you are not well - no matter the season. They will find someone to do the work that needs to be done. You and your health should be the first priority.

This also may be hard to hear because it’s easier said than done - but try not to worry about getting fired. I have for the past 6 months and it really only made things worse for me. I realized I had to take it day by day. I have no control over the future I only have control over myself and my decisions and actions today. One day at a time. If today you need to take care of yourself and that’s the best you can do, then do it. If today you think you can conquer the world, then do it. If you practice this every day - eventually it will become real and not so difficult.

Going to get fired because of the side effects/taking off work, but I wasn’t sure I would have survived tax season otherwise. Literally.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
