I live in MA and have a mental health condition.

I asked HR for accommodation paperwork and they sent it with a deadline of 1 month. Therapist hasn't sent it back to me yet, I got another 1 month extension but that one is almost up, too. Therapist is traveling/dealing with his own family stuff which I told HR when I asked for the first extension.

The company isn't doing well financially, and I really don't want HR to be mad at me. It is a large company and HR operates via support tickets.

Out of the following which is preferable to not get HR irritated at me assuming my provider doesn't get the papers done in the next few days:

- Graciously asking for another 1 month extension (Edit: at first they gave me 3 weeks, I then got a 1 month extension, I'd be asking for yet another extension in this case.)

- Graciously thank them for waiting, ask to close the ticket for now (and plan to re open when my provider can actually get this done)

Have not filed the paperwork yet or told HR what I'm requesting but in case it's relevant: I want to ask HR for intermittent FMLA and intermittent remote work (the latter as a less disruptive alternative to the former, I'm allowed to work hybrid but assumed would be good to have codified.) I almost never call out and am not trying to sneakily get full time WFH. Work is already ok with me working hybrid.

Edit: my GP is equally difficult to reach so he won't be able to fill out the paperwork by the deadline either.

Thanks

Hi all,

I've been on Lamotrigine 100mg for almost a year now. It helped tremendously with my symptoms although it didn't completely take them away.

I developed the bad word recall, but never had worse side effects than that. Until this month.

Now whenever I take it, the brain fog is debilitating, I feel like I've taken cold medicine, the head pressure is awful too. It seems this side effect came out of nowhere. I tried switching to taking it at night or splitting between AM and PM, but that gave me terrible insomnia (even with as needed sleep meds.)

I don't take any other daily meds. I take a multivitamin, I eat my vegetables, get protein, exercise, sleep decently.

Anyone else deal with this? How did you approach it?
