The first few days after I dropped Effexor and began Pristiq I had a nice little headache that felt like a jackhammer had been set loose at the base of my skull but this was to be expected as Effexor just does not like to go away quietly. So I put up with the headache for about a week then I though that would be it and the Pristiq would do whatever the Effexor did but it turns out I was wrong. So I went from a headache from hell to what felt like a flu whose symptoms were so bizarre, and still are, I began to worry about other little things such as serotonin syndrome. Heat flashes that would come out of nowhere to the point I would have to change my shirt for it was completely drenched, insomnia which pushes my sanity levels to places I rather not talk about for they would sent my butt back to the psych ward and lock the door and perhaps the oddest symptom of all which is my right arm triceps muscle would decide to do a jig for no apparent reasons. In the last week I have been trying to figure it all out and praying that it is going to be over very soon.
So the problem that I am facing is that are the symptoms caused by the sudden stoppage of Effexor or is this craziness part of the initial symptoms of Pristiq or a combination of the two. Pristiq and Effexor are apparently close in makeup so I thought that the transfer would be as smooth as possible minus a few minor hitches but like I said I was wrong. Mentally it has been a neat trick for the first few days I felt like I was floating on a cloud but boy did that disappear in a heartbeat and the world did a nasty 180 which put me in a funk where the sun never shines. Not a lot of fun.
Now some person who believes that the chemicals that I put into my body in order to make my brain smile are completely to blame and they would be right but of course the other side to that argument is without these evil chemicals chances are I would not be writing this blog for dead men don’t talk.
The last week and a half or so I have spent creating two brand new shopping sites that have taken hours upon hours to produce but hopefully all of the hard work will pay off in due time. The first one is A Golf Club Review which surprisingly is a review site about golf clubs. The second site is called Chronograph Watches and you guessed it is about chronograph watches.
Sorry for this complete ramble at a 100 miles per hour my Seroquel is not working too well probably due to me sweating the darn med out at a fantastic rate. take care
