oh how i wish i could just be taking the pills that make me joyous all the time... unfortunately the pills that make me joyous are also the pills that make me incredibly drowsy, and sometimes i have things i would like to be able to do without falling over

#i'm talking about pregabalin #which on this occasion i took for its secret third effect (pills that make me not have terrible rls)#it's not something that was prescribed to me which is why i'm at the mercy of a dose that's much too high #i'm gonna be talking to my doctor about several things in a few days and this is one of them #a smaller dose would probably be enough to deal with the rls and presumably not make me as drowsy #but i'm guessing it would also reduce the joyousness #she may instead prescribe me clonazepam because that's what i used to take for rls until i mysteriously stopped having it for a while #she gave me some last time on a non-repeating prescription just to test the waters #but i know she's not that keen on giving out benzos for an uncommon off-label use that she'd never heard of before i brought it up #so she may prefer switching to pregabalin. which i would be fine with. both drugs seem to have the same set of effects on me #this has been anxiolytic sedatives talk with britta averinthine
