Cold Turkey: Not a Good Idea

Yeah, so I discovered that cold turkey's not such a good idea with some drugs. The very next day after my last post, I got hit by a mack truck... er, migraine. I have since come to understand that the Amitriptyline does, indeed, help very much... with my chronic neck pain. Which is my most frequent trigger for migraines. It doesn't stop OTHER triggers, but it makes a big different with my neck.

So I've gone back on the meds and simply conduct my days wondering if this is what A.D.D. feels like. I figure, weigh the options: pain or A.D.D... I'll take the short attention span. I've simply resolved to work harder to focus, and try to filter out distractions. I focus on one thing at a time... which rather dismantles my whole multi-tasking thing, but hey... gotta do what I can do. Never had to WORK to focus before, but I'm sure it can be done.
