Sleep
We are experimenting with some medication. It’s ok, the doctor said we could. Anyway, we took out of the daily routine a medication called melatonin. I had never heard of it before this has happened, but, from what I understand, it is a stimulant. This is day three of not taking it and I think it is not having the desired effect that we want. We are going to try for one more day to see if her sleeping today was a fluke or if taking her off the medication is affecting her alertness.
She is also on Triazidone, which puts a person asleep. Logically, if we take away the sleeping pill at night, it would not be necessary to take a stimulant in the morning. We might have to experiment with that as well. We’ll see how it goes.
Mood
Because of Lidia being sleepy all day, I would say that her mood was a six. She doesn’t feel sick. She just isn’t as active as she normally is.
