Every year or so, I begin to wonder if the way I feel (weird, to be general) is related to the medications I've been on. I lose my perspective on how I "normally" feel, so I stop taking everything, all the way down to coffee, for several months. Usually, this results in me feeling crappy for the first week or so, then pretty good, and then (about 3 months later) I gradually begin to feel like my naturally lousy self, reassuring me that underneath it all, I do indeed feel off. I then wait until I just feel too bad to go on, and consult my dr, and the cycle renews (feel good for a while, falls off, quit, better, gradually worse, consult dr, feels good, falls off, etc...). If only I could always be either 2 weeks into a new drug, or two weeks off of one :)
