Day 3, Sunday, 9-5-04
30mg
Didn't sleep as well last night even though I took .5mg Klonopin.
This morning woke up without much trouble.
There is a still a high pitched hum in my head, kind of like having the printer running in the background, not noticing it until you turn it off and then realize how annoying it was. It's a higher frequency sound, though. Had this with Effexor as well.
I notice today I have about 50 percent more physical energy than usual. I have only about five percent more motivation to do something constructive with the energy, though. I have a little anxiety, maybe a result of having the energy but not feeling like doing anything with it. It's a slightly wired kind of energy, not motivated from inside. It makes me want to smoke too much.
I have had some twinges today of what I can only call angst. Just out of nowhere a feeling of deep anguish swells up inside me, lasts a few seconds and then leaves. I kind of think it might be the ability to feel returning (had almost no emotion while on Effexor). At least I hope that's all it is. Could also be from the Klonopin last night.
No improvement in anhedonia.
Physical side effects (except for hum in head) are not very noticeable. No somnolence except for a couple of yawns during church. No effect on appetite one way or the other. A little bit of heartburn (which is very unusual for me). No increased pain in my neck and shoulders (this happened within the first week of tx with several SSRIs). DRy mouth is slightly less today than yesterday.
One positive side effect: I think my nose is less stopped up than it was. I usually have some degree of congestion and it seems to be less for the last day or so.
I have no more Klonopin except for an Rx which I haven't filled and don't intend to get filled so we'll see how the sleeping goes tonight.
