Withdrawal Update

I keep forgetting to mention all the problems I'm having going off the Cymbalta, as I usually put it in my private blog as "emotional" problems. Here is a list was the problems I'm experiencing:

• insomnia
• tinnitis
• dizziness
• "twitches" in brain and eyes
• mood swings (could be impending menopause as well . LOL)

I also have . . . .not binges, but it's about being really hungry not about emotionally needing food for comfort. I did not walk this morning, but I did yesterday. I was just too tired. Couldn't get to sleep until after midnight and slept poorly. I really really wish I could figure a way to keep a log that I will stick with, as I'm pretty sure I could identify the triggers to poor sleep.

Still Feeling Crappy

Still feeling WAY below good. Symptoms are diminishing (twitching brain, pulsing eyes, and auditory hallucenations stopped sometime during a very sleepless night), but I'm still voraciously hungry, disoriented to the point I cannot multi-task at all, and have difficulty finishing thoughts and sentences. A bit of difficulty getting what I am thinking out verbally. Sometimes I've had to totally stop talking and work my way back through what I was trying to convey. This does not seem to be affecting this form of communication. Interesting.

Found an article about Reasons to Have Sex that I thought was interesting. One of the reasons supports what I have claimed all along, that sex--specifically intercourse--helps me moderate my moods. LOL You know, they just need to stop wasting money on studies and come and ask me what *I* think. ::giggle::
