Hi! Are you taking any medication for hyperthyroid? I have a family member recently diagnosed with it and the medication can have some yucky side effects, including nausea and vomiting. I don't know much about what effects the condition by itself would have.
Is the yawning you experience related to sleepiness/fatigue? Or are you just yawning even though you're alert? I have heard of Prozac causing this type of yawning (when you're alert that is).
> I'm new to all this and don't know that I understand everything said, but depression runs in my family and so I think that would be chemical. I just started lex 3 days ago, noticed a lot of yawning during the day, and now I'm up at 12am, alert with nausea. Was on Wellbutrin but had severe head aches. Has anyone come off of lex and not had to start something new? I expect this to be a "get me balanced again" thing and then let my body take over, but I'm hearing a lot of what sounds like long term meds talk. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Also, I'm newly hyper thyroid and wondering how this depression may be related. Any comments?
