Going to take my night ones earlier tonight to see if that helps me sleep.

Yes and now wondering how well Phenergan mixes with an antipsychotic. :D

 As long as the prescribing physician knows everything you are taking, it should be OK,
 but when in doubt, ask a pharmacist, s/he should be able to help you!  :nerd!:

I didn't go to my regular pharmacist this time (actually I have two regulars - one near mum's and one near GA's) because they didn't have the 20mg version of Zeldox I was prescribed. Oh well I took just one Phenergan, that should be ok.

 Did that work out OK?  Do you feel all right?  :orly:

I used to be on Zoloft and Paxil. I stopped taking them for almost a year now.

 Did you stop abruptly, or taper off under medical supervision?  :orly:

Forgot this morning.

The new brand of L-Lysine tastes like the smell of a pharmacy. Should take it though, it does make that I don't need the anti-biotics.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

 Yes, you really should take your medications as directed!  :police:

It totally knocked me out! Awesome. But I can't keep taking Phenergan. I haven't tonight - have just taken my other meds and I don't feel tired. No surprise. ::)

Those are two antidepressants I haven't taken. Did they work for you?

It does not really matter that much when I take it, but, the mornings are most convenient. Apparently you should not eat for half an hour after taking that supplement, nor two hours before.
But, taking it first thing in the morning, makes that I want to chew it up, don't want a huge pill like that to drop on the lining of my empty stomach every morning. This brand really tastes like medicine.......

The effect is massive though. And, being able to cut back on antibiotics always is a good thing. In this case even more, because I began to over-react on the antibiotics. Might keep the purple inflammations away from my face, it made it very red and itchy still.

They actually worked for me, but I stopped abruptly, and it was not easy. I had to do it since I was asked to do so by my local church, who doesn't understand what autism was. So far, I'm still off my meds, but I resorted to smokes instead.
