i don't really have anything to write about today, but i'm trying to write almost every day.
a little med update: my doctor increased the dosage of my semi-new med by 50%. i'm not sure how i feel yet emotionally; i'm still motivated, not laying around, but i feel like i have too much energy sometimes and i have no appetite. i ran five miles without stopping yesterday (without eating), and was so sick the rest of the day and night, i could barely move.
the 'not eating' part is really strange. i've hardly even thought of food for the past few days, it's almost like that part of my brain has been numbed. when i do think of food, it doesn't sound good, so i make myself eat at least three times a day. another side effect: i'm thirsty *all* the time; i can't get enough to drink.
i'm still somewhat dizzy and weak today, and slept more than usual. other than that, i put up my christmas tree, lights, and stockings. the thanksgiving break was good; this will be my last week of work until january. i don't know what i'm going to do with myself, other than read for my exams and attempt to keep grayson off the tree.
anyway, back to true blood...
April, it sounds like you may need to eat something so your body can absorb the medicine; perhaps taking away that dizzy, weak feeling?
ReplyDelete...take good care of yourself!
I had the same problem (lack of food - more water) but I couldn't sleep so if there is a plus side to all of this, you're sleeping :) How much longer does the doc want to give it to see if it's working?
ReplyDeletethis is just the way it goes. it takes 4 - 6 weeks for anything to really work, and my body has to get adjusted in the meantime. i'll be sure and eat before any type of exercise from now on.
ReplyDeleteis this the wellbutrin that you are talking about? wellbutrin did the same thing to me when i started taking it, in fact i lost 12 pounds because i didn't care to eat - which was just FINE by me. after a few months i stopped having that issue and when he upped my medication it never happened again. kind of disappointing for me at the time.
ReplyDeleteWell my meds make me eat more! It's like I never feel full until it's too late and my belly is full to the tippy top... I even tried drinking a big glass of water before my meal to take up some room... I should talk to my doctor about that.
ReplyDeletemost meds are like that, but the remeron was making me gain weight when i wasn't eating anything more, *and* working out like a fiend. 20 lbs in 9 months.
