dang, my meds are screwing me up. i ended up hospitalized last april because my effexor crapped out on me and i pretty much hit bottom in a bad way. i've never felt so bad like this in my life - it was pure misery, pure suffering. so the docs got me on cymbalta. i've been stuck with a mental fog and extreme sleepiness since. my doc thinks it's the klonapin and is taking me off of it. funny, since i'm slowly going off of it, i'm still stuck. i HATE feeling like a retard, since i'm a highly educated person. i'm so knocked out and sleep like the dead for 16 hours on a stretch. by the next appointment, we'll definitely know that if this is due to cymbalta or not. it's so dang risky and tricky because i'm treatment-resistant with my depression. i don't post hardly much here. in fact, i've only done it once before. i'm so loopy in the head. i don't know why i'm posting right now. sometimes, i can't even think straight and i'm such a weirdo sometimes or make weird mistakes. i can't wait to get my mental clarity back. besides, what's up with those chat rooms anyway????? i'm confused, everytime i go there, there's no one there. i'm up at very strange hours. sometimes, i get lonely because of being dead at long stretches of time stuck in the la-la land. physical activities sure make it worse, but i'm fighting to keep the cobwebs from accumulating in my head. sheesh. sorry, if this seems to be a vent but this is making me insane.
