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...
What do you mean by "interesting" side effects?
Shakes. Tremors, hyper sensitive skin, Tired ness, Drowsyness, heavy muscles, being unable to sleep properly, mild hallucinations or what I can only refer to a s a half asleep half awake dream like state.
So far...
hope I dont get those effects, couldn't possibly deal with that at work, let alone outside my job....
emmm.......
I used to feel very light headed and kind of disconected when I first started it. Kind of like when you have a cold.
But now I have no side effects. Only thing is this...don't stop taking it suddenly!!! You will have the most humungous headache of your life if you do.
I have gained soem weight, but if I stay active and eat better then it comes off again...
I have to take Remeron at night foir the restlessness and sleeplessness...but Paxil didn't cause those things inme...only intensified them as I already had them...LOVE MY REMERON!!!!
No anxiety for 24 hours and I can sleep great (most of the time)
I haven't slept well for the past month because my Paxil dose had been decreased and it was decreased too much so I went off track, but I am already feeling better 3 days into the higher dose.
I hope it works for you.
