Raised Anxiety after starting Ven

Good stuff, glad you're doing better. Gardening is therapeutic, though I'm not keen on all those big brown spiders making their way out for autumn. Hope you get a good night's sleep

So...... how was the BH weekend for you both ?. I have not been 100% but ok so can't complain.

Same here....been feeling really wound up in the mornings but not particularly bothered by it. It’s a weird feeling really...I wish it would piss off but it’s not upsetting me like it used to.

Its funny how we are getting the same feelings isn't it, you have just described my exact feelings. Its still there but I can't be assed with it but still want it to bugger off.

I spoke too soon, been really down and crying all afternoon

Hi both. BH weekend not too bad thanks, just a bit warm so some lovely Ven sweats. One thing I'm noticing is some weird muscle twitches when I'm falling asleep. A while ago I kept jumping out of my skin when going to sleep but I think that was due to sleep deprivation. This is different, like suddenly my fingers or feet or mouth will twitch a fair amount, a bit like how a dog or cat twitches when they're dreaming. I'm not really worried about it but wondered if it's med-related and if you've experienced it?

Sorry you've not had such a good day Jo. It is difficult having such ups and downs, and I think all you can do is to try to be patient with yourself and take each day as it comes.

How are you doing Maca? Glad you had a good laugh with the MIL!

I get a leg twitch in that moment between awake and sleep sometimes its quiet a violent movement. When I was on Citalopram my whole body would jerk just before sleep that was horrible.

Thanks Maca. That sounds exactly like it. It is most often my lower legs and feet. Very strange and I only notice it when I'm falling asleep. Guessing that's the meds then

When I first started on mirtazapine at 15mg I would get this weird twitching right on the tip of my nose and in my top lip! typically it would happen whenever I was talking to someone! It wore off once the meds settled in though thank goodness

[Dying_Swan]

It's weird huh? Poor you though, I'd definitely prefer it to happen in bed than when talking to someone! I'm gonna put it down to the mirt then and hope it settles. Thank you both
