everything i described occurred while taking psychiatric meds.
my food/emotion sensitivity began while taking effexor. and when this first began, my hair loss wa very sensitive to foods i ate. this was probably the most odd reaction i had to efexor. i could eat a certain food, like meat, and almost immediately afte swallowing a bite, it was like my full range of emotions were turned on anfd it was great, but at the same time my hair wpuld fall out at a very rapid pace. but if i took a bite of a different kind of food the hair loss would immediately stop. the foods and drinks that caused this would change occasionally. this effect lasted for some months after i quit effexor. i did my best through this time and succeeded in keeping my hair looking thick. this was in 2007. but like i said, since then my hair still does fall out faster. but today, the better i feel emotionally,the faster my hair falls out.
i dont think i grind my teeth with bruxism. its muscles on my forehead and between that tense on their own, and they get pretty sore at times.
with my muscles, its not exactly the straining of them that messes me up. its really just using them any at all. along with most of my other symptoms, cyproheptadine benefitted this greatly, i slowly progressed from simply opening my eyes when i wake up being too much for me (along with any other mpvement) to being able to move just fine in 90% of situations.
>These sound like common symptoms of depression. Depression itself tends to get worse with time. It would be hard to parse the symptoms of the illness versus persistent drug adverse effects.
the story of my experience with these chemicals is pretty long. and ot isnt difficult at all to parse through what are persistent effects of these chemicals. the terrible effects i describe only began while on these chemicals. at no other point in my life have i ever experienced such profound changes in emotional functioning. and the experience has felt completelt abnormal. during my first round of prescribed chemicals, i went from having emotional problems that were just w little booboo to
what would be like being hit with a sedgehammer some weeks into taking them. but i didnt attribute this to being caused by the chemicals at the time, sice i was still messed up months after stopping them. only after trying more chemicals did i realize what the problem was.my experience may not be well established in the medical community. but i have litle doubt that researchers, those who thoroughly study the effects of these chemicals on the brain, are fully aware of their chemicals being able to cause situations like mine.
