Wow. Medications are an interesting thing. The effects of them are sometimes so subtle that you don't even realize just how much they are affecting you. My doctor has changed me to a new anti-depressant, and even though it's only been a few days, I can already feel a difference.
My mood isn't changed at all (that constant feeling of sadness is still there), but I know it will take weeks before the meds can help with that. But my mind feels clearer. I think it's that the trazodone has worked itself out of my system. I woke up this morning and felt actually awake. I was still dog-tired (I'm still not sleeping, the thoughts keep racing in my brain until the wee hours of the morning), but the haze and fog that has engulfed my brain wasn't there. I actually was out of bed before the snooze bar went off the second time and was up and about.
I need to keep a close eye on this though. The not sleeping thing is a big deal. I don't want to take anything else to help me sleep, since that will kinda defeat the purpose of seeing if the shift in brain chemicals will help. I'm hoping it will get better. Because I know if I don't sleep a different type of fog will take over my mind.
And while I wouldn't say that I have nausea all the time, my tummy doesn't feel right. Sort of a light queasiness that is always in the background.
