skin problems - for which I use Differin and Duac, which have made my skin almost normal again, not at all cystic like last time I was on Parnate! yay!insomnia - it was pretty profound, have to take Halcion and Seroquel to fall asleep and still sometimes have early morning wakenings though I can fall asleep within an hour w/ the Halcion
akathisia - which is gone now that I take Atenolol
dilated pupils at the end of the day - this kind of sucks because I end up looking drugged
mild teeth grinding, nothing to be concerned about
blood pressure is fine, I take it multiple times a day just to be safe and am Rx'ed Nifedipine if I have a hypertensive crisis
and that's it. *crosses fingers that more side effects won't develop* I consider myself incredibly, incredibly lucky - for someone who couldn't tolerate SSRIs (because they caused bed-wetting) and TCAs (because they made me an irritable monster), I seem to have found a near-perfect med for me.
