Day 14:
Side effects: “I’ll take Breast Tenderness for $200, Alex.” Yup. I just wish I actually got 200 dollars for it. Nope, In fact I’m paying for it.
Side note: How much is everyone else paying for Lamictal? I feel like my insurance sucks or something. I’m paying almost 100 dollars.
Feelings: Today was pretty much the Worst. Day. Ever. Professionally. At the end of my horrible work day I got in my car, shut the door, started it and cried. It really really sucked. I wont bore you with the details but to sum it all up, I’m pretty sure almost everyone was pissed at me at one point or another today. Including my boss. The only bright side is that I had to stay an hour late by myself with this one client and my boss said that wasnt cool and that I should pick a day to come in an hour late or leave an hour early and she would pay me for it. So that was cool of her. I went to bed early because 1. I was wiped out from that shit 2. I was avoiding any responsibility that required brain power and 3. I had to get up early. Joy.
Day 1 of week 2:
( I just realized that I have posted twice on the same day, day 12. This means I missed a dose and didnt notice..whoops. Which means I should have started the 50 mg dose today..another oops. I have taken the second pill now. So tomorrow will be Day 2 of week 2. With the correct dosage.)
Side effects: I actually have not noticed that much breast tenderness today. I have however noticed that my bra feels like its cutting into me. GASP..maybe I AM going to get the rare, infamous Lamictal Boobs!! Down side: I find myself slightly itchy on my stomach today, so of course I am nervous about that. I’m watching that VERY closely.
Feelings: I had to go and take a class for work today so I couldn’t go into work at all. I was dreading it but after yesterday, I welcomed it. I thought I did pretty well (there was an exam) so that was good. What was not good is that afterwards, I got a call from my coworker saying that the girl who shares the same position as me had called in sick..leaving the poor new girl in charge. She only started 2 weeks ago. I heard the poor thing was sweating bullets all day long. That just plain sucks. My coworker had better really be sick. I mean, if I go in there tomorrow and she isn’t looking ill, I’m calling her out. Wow, I’m being mean today. Tonight I’m feeling moody. I’ve yelled at/snuggled with/hated on/kissed my husband all in about..3 hours. Right now though, I’m feeling..drained. It’s that feeling of all of my energy slipping out of my fingertips and toes. MAybe I’ll go to bed now before I emotionally scar anyone.
I started the 50mg dose tonight..here’s hoping I see a positive change. And not a rash.
