Today I went to my doc and she decided to put me on Topamax. I have tried many meds and failed. However, every time I try a new one I think up these bizarre reasons why this time, this drug will work.
For example, with Topamax. I was driving home and I determined that Topomax will work for me because of the following: Topomax begins with a T and my first name begins with a T and the day I was prescribed it (Thursday) begins with a T. Then I also dissected the word Topomax into two separtae words, TOP and MAX. Then I thought this drug will keep me functioning at A TOP level. I will the MAX amount of improvement.
What are these thoughts. Its almost like my brain does this to put me at ease each time I start a new drug to convince me it will work. I tend to try and find associations among different things to help me make sense of things. Is this OCD, Schizo, BPD, Borderline. Please Help! Thanks.
