OH SHIT. YOu know that sounds fammiliar. But I dont have my leaflets from the pharmacy describing side effects.
It's got to be one of the following:
Lamictal, propranolol, trazadone. (I know it's not lithium)

A charlie horse is when your calf muscle tightens up to the point of excruciating pain. It forms a big hard lump. Punching it is a good way to get it to loosen up.

Sometimes Trazadone will do that I think. I take it and I have cramps and numbness in my feet and hands. Might ask the doc (if your taking that).

My brain does. Is that the same thing?

Might legs used to go numb but that was back in high school and it was the 60's and peace and love...and drugs and I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But I always had a date.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
