I am hungry all of the time now. I won’t give in to it, because I’ve managed to lose 30 pounds this year and don’t want to put it back on, but the constant hunger is awful.
I told my psych about feeling wired. It’s not a negative feeling, it’s over-excitement and agitation. Some of my muscles twitch.
On the plus side, my anxiety has pretty much gone. I drove yesterday, which was only the second time this year!
What I din’t Have is the dread, and I know that feeling of old.
So it would seem your response to the drug is changing. I hope the dread goes, and the hyped-up feeling. It seems this drug just keeps on giving, in different ways! That’s why I feel I have to give each dose change a fair time to work.
I’m still on 12.5 mg. I may go down to 10. Not sure yet.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
