Yesterday, I got in the car and realized I was surrounded by empty water bottles without a drop in sight. I ran back in the house and got two more bottles. There is no way I can be without water on this medicine. My poor lips are chapped and cracked. But the head pressure from the first day is completely absent. The grounded feeling is present and constant. Not only am I tolerating the medication, but I am doing well with it. The only noticeable side effect is the dry mouth. Since I spend a great deal of time talking at work, it is very noticeable to me. I am learning to take water with me everywhere at work. I also keep lip balm in my pocket.
All things considered, it isn't a bad trade-off. Each day, I see more and more evidence of how I am being helped by the medication.
