anyone sick of reading yet? thanks to those who do, it means a lot. it’s nice to have people along with me for the journey. plus it helps to have a written record of my starting point and progress.
my head is clearer today too, though a bit fuzzy, but the headache isn’t as bad. my stomach is a bit upset, but i don’t know if it’s due to the medicine or due to the spicy sloppy joes and goulash i had last night. probably the latter. i had also forgotten to take my stomach meds (light stuff, helps deal with acid and reflux) so that could explain a lot. my sleep has gotten a bit better, seemingly back to more how it was before. i tend to take a lot of naps when i’m on meds, and last night i didn’t have a chance to, and it didn’t seem to bother me. i got my usual 5 to 6 hours and i didn’t nearly pass out today. for some reason around 1030, i always just lose it, like, i can’t keep my eyes open. not so much “tired” just my eyes will NOT stay open. its always around the same time too.
oh, so anyway, today is another ‘off’ day, so tomorrow will be on again. i think i may carry this through til next week too, and then start the half doses. also from all i’ve read, Celexa has a fairly short half life (of 33 hours) so all the internet forums tend to say it’s a bit easier to wean from than some of the heavier meds. i still haven’t had any brain shocks, so hopefully i won’t get any. no muscle twitches, spasms, nothing of the sort. so far, all my withdrawal symptoms have been in my head, just the fuzziness and headache. i’m trying to keep up with caffeine as well, just to make sure i don’t couple the withdrawal headaches with caffeine headaches. sounds dumb i know, but i have a very keen sense of self, and i have a pretty good grasp on what my body is doing and what it is reacting to.
and on a positive note, i have a dinner date for wednesday, so that will definitely put me in good spirits again, i need all the positive influence i can get 🙂
