@Snowie I think it really depends on the intensity of pain, I would probably still need a painkiller if I was in crippling pain, but I am grateful that doesn't happen as often anymore. But it is nice to have herbal stuff on top of regular meds. I take vitamins for migraines too along with the medication preventatives. You just have to be careful there is no interaction with herbal stuff since some herbs are strong. I don't take the strong herbs, would be wary of that since not much is known about a lot of them.
Nothing wrong with taking PRN if you need it, lack of sleep does eventually take a hit. I feel like the need of sleep is often underestimated in society. You hear about students pulling all nighters, if I did that, my MH would suffer.
I'm okay. It's weird though, increasing my matcha intake has helped me feel better, I wouldn't say it's a miracle or perfect, but I can think clearer and feel more calm. Brain fog is still there but not to the same intensity. I don't know if it's the caffeine, or something else or multiple reasons. My attention span has been really bad for so long that I felt sort of stupid and felt like I was always underperforming. I still have a long way to go in improving my attention span. I know they say to be careful with caffeine and bipolar, but I'm not consuming too much caffeine or matcha anyways
