Antidepressants

[charlz_lynn]

Because I want to keep track, and because I should be honest with myself, here are the side effects I'm having from the meds:

Insomnia
Diarrhea
Mania (which is helpful right now)
No appetite
Weight loss (very very fine with this for now)
Difficulty coming (but I still have a sex drive)

The insomnia isn't as bad as it was for the first couple weeks, and I thought both that and the shitting were over. But they're back. It's not too severe and the positive effects are still worth the negatives for the time being. I feel good. I feel whole. I feel patient - which is something I've not experienced in a long time. Overall, this is good. Really good. But I don't want to forget all of the ways it's affecting me later.

Add tinnitus and muscle twitches. Hmm. Follow up appointment Monday,  so I'll talk about it then.
