Grandma med boxes

Not much to tell these days, which is good news. My meds seem to be working. I'm feeling a LOT better than I was a few months ago. I've been on my current med mix since March (full dosage only about 6 weeks). Since the med change I've only had one partial and I'm feeling good. My energy levels are increasing, side effects decreasing. I still have days where I feel like I have ADHD (side effect of the Topiramate). And still many days where I just need to rest but that is also partially because I've been working my tail off to get my business back on track now that I'm feeling better.

Given all of that, I think I will probably stay on this med mix for awhile, as it's working better than any of the previous ones so far. As long as it keeps the partials away and I continue to feel good, I'll stay on it. It's still a bit early to say for sure, but so far so good.

For someone who always considered herself extremely healthy, I sometimes have to laugh at the cocktail of vitamins and medications I now take, and I thought I'd share:


The green pill box is for morning, and the purple is for evening. Here's the breakdown:

Morning -
2 x 500mg Levetiracetam (the long yellow pills buried in the bottom of the box)
1 x 100mg Topiramate
1 x B6
1 x B12
Progesterone cream (only at certain times of my cycle)
Palafer CF (only twice a week)
CBD oil (the second syringe) if I remember

Evening -
2 x 500mg Levetiracetam
1 x 100mg Topiramate
1 x Magnesium
CBD if I remember

Two years ago all I took was the Magneisum. How things have changed!

In other news, I'm also three months without alcohol..... :(
