Like I said to Ron, it must be the year since it seems we all have had trouble around X-mas/January. I STILL can't work out and when I start to feel good I have to push it a bit and end up feeling like crap. I so miss my body sweating and energizing me after a good workout. The only thing I can do is YOGA! They have a free class at our apartment complex and it has been kind of fun, but hard not to watch the women stretching in from of me;)
I decided to head up to the university alternative medicine and look into acupuncture and few other things. It can't hurt and reminds me of what I should have been doing when I was living in Japan besides chasing the native babes.
I did have a real strange day last Sunday. I usually feel like crap or pretty decent, but that day I was totally numb and void of feeling. It only lasted one day but I was baffled. Not sure if I would have that or anxiety!
I had a very bad time reducing my TCA and after 3 days I felt like hell. And that was only from 50 to 40 mgs. It was very damaging to my feeling that I have at least some control of my mood. I feel like I am wired to norttryptline and that is upsetting to say the least.
Interesting about the exam you mentioned. I did not sleep well after the exam and when I was an undergrad I would have had a beer and slept for 12 hours. It took me a full week to calm down and I then reduced my benzo for 2 months until I started having trouble again. I am awaiting cymbalta in the hope that it will allow me to get off the TCA. I am still puzzled why the TCA and working out do not match and I wish a doctor could explain the possibilites. The only thing I come up with is that the side effect profile lists excercis and heat as enhancing dizziness, etc. And I know that is true. Cymbalata seems similiar to a TCA/Effexor so hopefully it will be the med I can tolerate.
I wish you the best in the lamcital titration and hopefully this year will bring us all some health and restoration. How is the training going?
PS. I have found almost any alcohol can mess me up for a few days, so sad. I miss my guinness!! When the truck drives by that shows the progression of it being poured into a glass I have a hard time not chasing it down!
Take careJohnj
