I took my first 10 mgs very early this morning. Kind of an impulsive thing as I was planning on waiting for the two week washout from effexor, but after a few beers I usually get a bit "wild." Also, figured I'd make sure (with the tap beer and the grilled cheese, of course) whether or not I'm able to tolerate this stuff or should try something else. If I'm gonna react poorly to this stuff I might as well get it over with now instead of worring for the next 6 months if this nibble of cheese is gonna do me in. No reason not to dive right in, I guess.
We'll after about two hours I got a nice headache and puked out the unprocessed sandwich and beer. This stuff also seems pretty stimulating on my system. Didn't sleep for more than an hour (what's new?), but I don't feel the usual walking zombie I usually am in the am and afternoon. No harm done, as my stomach and I don't usually get along after alcohol, w/ or w/o parnate.
So far so good. I think the biggest problem with this stuff is the anecdotal stories on these groups about going to the er and huge bp increases. A bit too much dr.bob created anxiety if you ask me.
I'll lay off the alcohol, in order to at least give this med a fair chance (headaches suck, anyway). And I'm pretty sure not to try new "experiments" with handfuls of ephedrine or some effexor or something. That'd be almost asking for trouble. Another 10 mgs when I get home in an hour or so.
