Hi all. It was the strangest experience I had yesterday. I've been irritable at work for weeks now (not my normal positive self)--I'm battling depression. I went for my 1/2 lunch, running an errand & sat in the car & ate. As I got ready to head back to my office I felt the knot in my gut loosen and seem to re-ravel loosely ( I don't know how else to explain it. When I walked into my office, It was like someone had flipped a switch in me. I was joking, laughing, happy, actually enjoying being there. Usually I dread going in in the morning. This morning I am actually looking forward to it. WEIRD! I'm a different person! My normal person is upbeat, sometimes funny but lowkey. Not that I'm being LOUD--no. What is going on? Anyone experience this? Doesn't matter if I have 2 hrs sleep or 5, I'm ready to hit the floor running. on Ambien 12.5 CR at betime and Cymbalta 60 mg once in AM. Any thoughts are appreciated.
No I haven't experienced this but would love to.
I went thouhg a similar thing for a good few weeks recently - I assumed it was my meds taking effect
