Venting session....

I didn't get to sleep until 5am this morning, and woke up to feeling groggy and very dizzy. So I took my own advice and tried going for a walk and enjoying the scenery but my muscles just cramped right up. I walked all the way to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and made it back, but barely, I had to keep stopping and taking a break for my cramped muscles in my right leg. Always my right leg, it's due to the Geodon I'm taking. It got so bad that I had to sleep when I got back and slept until like 5pm, after which most of it went away, so I tried walking again and could only get one block away from the house. Ugh. So I've been calling my doctor to get me off of this horrible medicine, since I'm not seeing any benefit whatsoever, just side effects. And they want me to wait until morning so the R.N. can call me and talk to me about it, she'll probably keep saying the same thing they've said for two months, that the side effects will go away and I'll start feeling better. Well, too bad for them, I've waited long enough. I had a lot of hopes for this medicine, and I had a good attitude about it for these two months, giving my faith to the doctor, but now my faith has grown thin.
