i was stable for so long and had to go off one of the meds because it made me to sleepy at night and i couldn't get up with my 8 months old :-(

Exercise and until the meds kick in you should start feeling the meds in about 2 weeks but the full effect takes 4- 6 weeesk Hang in there and take it one day at a time.
