The chest tightness I experienced when beginning EMSAM has returned worse than ever. It really had abated for a while. For the last couple of days, it gets worse as the afternoon goes on and by night time its very uncomfortable.
I also find it hard to sit still without twitching, jerking, bouncing, clenching my fists, etc. Trying to settle down to sleep was almost impossible last night until I removed the patch and took .5mg klonopin to help me sleep. Though I slept 6 hours, I felt like spam dumped out of the can when I got up this morning. It was not a good night's sleep. I went from fairly high energy toward the end of last week to no energy at all the last couple of days.
The tightness is not pain, its not heartburn, and it feels different than anxiety in that I'm not feeling worried or nervous nor do I have the feeling that I want to get out of my own skin and run away. But it is uncomfortable and over time its really bothersome. The other thing is that I have a lot of muscle and joint pain and I don't think its related to working out. Any insights?
Otherwise, my mood is pretty good and I'm much more talkative than ever. I'm interested in things, my sense of humor is active, and I'm more inclined to be social than social phobic.
Thanks to anybody who cares to comment.
