*As far as the day dreaming goes - is this something you can fight? Talk to yourself every minute of the drive? Play the radio or turn the radio off? Does it happen when you've got other people in the car to talk to?
The reason I went on the Effexor is hard to explain. Any stimulus sent my head spinning. The effexor has helped this extremely.
The daydreaming happens if I'm tired, which is fairly constant. Unfortunately it can even happen during a conversation. The fatigue is like an anesthetic. I had thought that it could be narcolepsy, but reading about it I think you are born with it and my sleep test didn't suggest it.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm a survivor, I just have to take care not to hurt anyone else. I only take trips into town in the morning and after good rests later in the day, but it is difficult to make the choice wether to drive or not when I have appointments or errands. I end up driving. You've made me realize that I should get my father or someone else do the driving. I have discussed it with my psych and avoid the topic unless generally with the gp for fear of losing my license.
