Cheryl,
So glad you stayed home, and its the fear of the unknown, even if its a med we have been on, we think, will I be more nervous, will it be too much for my body, will I be more drugged feeling, oh my gosh I swallowed it, and there is no going back now, =anxiety.
Anytime I have had a medication adjustment I do it on the weekends when I have my family home with me, just getting over the first few days knowing Im not alone in the worst case scenario. Im glad you got some rest, normally an increase will make you a bit more sedated but NOT DRUGGED out feeling, and rest does the body good. Keep us posted.
