I'll just gives a thumbs up to what others have said. You are NOT alone. There are so many of us that have gone through PAD to some extent. I have bi-polar and had been unmedicated for years (handling it well through behavior modification)...that just wasn't enough after my youngest two came home. I jumped on the medication roller coaster. My biggest advice is that you know your body. If meds are not working (making you TOO tired, too zombie like, etc.) speak up as early as you notice and don't be shushed and talked into continuing that med - ask for a different one. There are so many things available now - you should not have to suffer through any really negative side effects when there is something else to try!
Good luck!
