I get short tempered, annoyed...you name it. Course it could just mean that it's because I've just had about 2 hours of napping kids and alone time, Zach gets home around 2:40 and plays with Ben the daycare kid, and the other 3 wake up around 3:15... My afternoons seem to go sooooo sloooooow between 3 and 4:30 when the kids go home... then from 4:30 to 7pm it's even loooooooooonger for the kids to get to bed... and I crash and burn into bed earlier and earlier... what do you think...exhaustion, or not enough meds? -------------------- The richest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

Try having a little more for breakfast, and a healthy snack mid afternoon before you start to crash. I get like this often especially when I've very busy. I'll get shakey and tired. I usually have a fruit, or yogart and some juice. -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

I get the same way after lunch at times too. If you are feeling more depressed overall, maybe trying an increased dose would help, if not, you can go back down. -------------------- Brenda, a mom and wife in love with my family The administrators of Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

As a matter of fact, even now I have to keep small snacks around bc my blood sugar level gets off and I get tired and irritible. Is there any time you could take a small 20-min cat nap? That may help you get through the day, too. HTH! --------------------
