I had a break today from taking care of my mother. My son went over and did a few things with her.
I went to the gym today for the first time in weeks. The workout was hard because I'm out of shape now. Well, that's relative to how I was before. Last year I could do 45 situps and do 1 leg squats. Now I struggle to do 20 situps and can only do some 2 leg squats.
Seroquel really did a lot to me, I gained 50 pounds on it. Now to get it all off again!
My anxiety was bad today so I took a Klonopin but I didn't need the afternoon dose. Stomach issues persist, I guess it'll be that way until the anxiety gets better but who knows when that'll be.
I'm starting to get brain zaps from the Rexulti withdrawal. I'll take one tomorrow and then again in a few days if I can stand it.
My reality pauses for a moment during a brain zap, which can be pretty disorienting. My mind has to catch up with what it missed while the zap was doing its thing. It's a really odd sensation.
My depression is up, which is understandable given that I'm off 2 meds now. Next to stop is Prozac but I'll see how I feel in August. I might try adding Caplyta first to find out if it'll help.
