I think I do need caffeine. But even if taken before noon, it takes me til midnight at least to sleep, and I have physical therapy appts at 11:30. I don't know if this is familiar to you or anyone, if it's because of meds, but if I sleep less than 10 hours my mood is hugely affected.
I did try a light box but it was too stimulating. Not so much in terms of palpable anxiety, but in terms of feeling spacey and a little high, not euphoric, but maybe jittery?
I'm a difficult patient! I will call and ask if there is a dpdoc. Thank you!!
> Maybe you need the caffeine. How about a light box in the bedroom. Would they cause too much anxiety?
> A psychopharmacologist is a psychiatrist who specializes in prescribing psychiatric medications. With your history, you should definitely have a specialist. And I'm sure their are dpocs in the university psychiatry department. Call the adult out-patient unit and ask. I think it could be a big help.
