first impressions
Oct. 5th, 2007 23:01the metoprolol is making me tired.
it's definitely regulating my heart rate way down. usually i'm in the low 80s at rest, now i'm in the 60s. i'm feeling a little weak, and almost dizzy -- not quite though. also very occasionally not quite nauseated. not particularly more depressed, though maybe a little bit. hard to tell since i am still fighting off the psychological effects of the tachycardia episode. such as, not wanting to sleep in my room (because that's where i wake up with my heart in disarray); i'm sleeping on the couch for now. i'm keeping a more frequent mood log together with taking my pulse several times a day to keep track.
the side effects are nowhere as bad as i feel when ramping up the SSRI.
but, tired. i'm hoping that this will be less marked as i acclimate myself to the drug.
so, i'll sleep a bit more for now. i was gonna say that i didn't get anything done today, but that was yesterday. today's special activity was grocery shopping at the wholesale store. so i even left the house! woohoo.
but bed now. or rather couch.
