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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
