Thanks for your input Abigail! I am glad, not that you are itching, but to know that its not just me. The only reason I put it together is because I had surgery a few months ago and was on morphine in the hospital and then percocets afterwards for the pain. Those narcs make just about everybody itch.
Perhaps it is your low dose that makes you edgy with the kids? I dunno. The 10 mg seems to make me not really care too much. My kids can holler and carry on and thats like "cool, dude". lol I can even sit at a red light for 3 turns and thats cool too. The things that drive me nuts about my husband don't bother me much either. I just patiently put the toilet seat back down and put the cap back on the toothpaste.
The appetite thing is a little harder. I go through spells. My weight jumps around alot. Some days I won't eat much of anything. Other days, especially the week or so before my period, its best to just nail the fridge shut or it will be empty. Which makes me wonder about hormones. Anybody know anything about those? Can they be tested?
As for the coffee, well, when I first started suffering from panic and anxiety, that was the first thing I cut out. Now I drink decaf. Didn't need anything else to contribute to my jitters and edginess, ya know?
