Tuesday on my way home I began thinking about certain situations in my life and realized that it was either making me very upset or very sad; a combination of which I kind of enjoyed. I felt alive. It’s such a small feat, maybe stupid for some of you reading this but I think that my lack of care to certain situations and people have aided in my being extra forgiving of some betrayals/ friendships that I otherwise would have walked away from. On a full dose of Effexor, I just couldn’t seem to hold a grudge long enough to keep me from winding up in the same place with the same people over and over again. That being said… I’m also either short fused/ irritated or anti-social all together. I’ll have to be careful not to take it out on people right now that I seem to not have much patience for things.
These past two days, I’ve felt a new physical symptom. It’s a symptom that I’ve felt when beginning Effexor, Ill have a goosebump like feeling but on only one arm, or one side of my face. This feeling can come and go and last up to 5 minutes at a time. Other than that, there has not been any really noticeable new symptoms since decreasing another 10% Monday night.
Nausea (in waves) – 5
Half body shivers -7
Headache- 7
Fatigue- 4
Body aches (very sporadic) – 6
Hot flashes – 7
