New medication/old medication

So here I am, adjusting to the change in my medication. After going to the Dr's yesterday and getting my new prescription then having to go to hospital to get a baseline blood test. To make sure the new medication doesn't fuck my body up to much. 

Anyway I started my new combination of tablets last night with some trepidation. But I slept okay, apart from having some vivid fucking nightmares. 

Although I woke up at 6am and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got up and decided to play Fifa. But then I had to take my new medication. 

Although I had to ring the pharmacy first as I got told by the Dr that the tablet would come with a score in  the middle to split in half. But it didn't, so I didn't want to risk taking it by slicing it in half with a knife as I know sometimes that breaks the chemical compound of the medication. But anyway they said it was all good. 

The side affects haven't been too bad. Just a bit spaced out. The TV at one point did start to look like it was melting. But apart from that it's been manageable. I just have to remember to take everything as I have to take so much medication at certain times. 

But yeah it's been a good day, I haven't felt particularly bad. But I know this is the first step of many. I know days won't always be as easy as this one. The new medication does have some pretty awful side affects. But if in the long run it stabilises my mood then I don't care if it destroys my liver or thyroid. I mean who needs them anyway! 

So I'm sitting round my parents with Linda as they had us around for dinner. Which was nice. Although they keep looking at me weird as I'm writing this. 

The unsociable bastard I am! Anyway Linda if you are reading this. Stop worrying about the side affects! I'll be okay. 

Will update tomorrow. Hopefully Wales will have lost the rugby and Casulty will be a good episode tonight!
