Medication Merry-Go-Round

My psychiatrist got my labs back, and my glucose numbers were too high- I am four points away from being diabetic.  So I had to change meds.  This is my third day on the new medication, and I feel tired and a little bit like a zombie.

In the midst of the zombie feeling I am making plans for my August wedding.  That cheers me up quite a bit.  We are going to get married in a little chapel, and we bought a package wedding, how great is that?  Almost everything is arranged for us, we just have to decide on flowers and music.  I thought that was a reasonable way to reduce the stress, and removing stress is essential to functioning with bipolar.  This is the second wedding for both of us, so we wanted something low key, but special.  I am hoping to not be a zombie bride, so we will see how this new medication does once I am ramped up to the theraputic dose!

  1. How long might it take for a new medicine to become effective?

  2. It may be up to two weeks, and then I can taper off the drug I was already on.
