Suddenly I remember why I get off of my medicine all the time, it makes me really dizzy and super sleepy. Which in my case sleep is a good thing, I am only waking up once a night, well its morning, about four thirty or so. Habit I guess, hard to break a bad habit.
I need to stay on the meds because they actually do work, as proven by the fact that I actually stayed on them for a while at one point. However there are certain side effects, some of which sound alarming, some that sound rather humorous. Abdominal or stomach cramps; confusion; fast or pounding heartbeat; increased sense of hearing; increased sensitivity to touch and pain; increased sweating; loss of sense of reality; mental depression; muscle cramps; nausea or vomiting; sensitivity of eyes to light; tingling, burning, or prickly sensations; trembling or shaking. Sounds like something you want to take twice a day, right?! Sure what the hell, and thats just one med!!
Its hard to focus, hard to drive, hard to even walk or talk while on these meds until my body adjusts to them. Not sure how long it is going to take to get them stable in my body. I just started taking them like I am supposed to, on Tuesday.
On a completely different note, I decided that since I have been so completely out of touch with any sort of religion or spirituality, that I am on a quest to find something to fulfill those needs.
