Eddie,
straterra makes me amped. In fact i quit taking it w/o my doctors orders b/c I felt like such a freak from the amplified sympathetic nervous system tremors it produced. I'm already self-conscious about myself, it really sucks when I'm shaking all the time in front of people when I'm not even nervous. I keep thinking everybody thinks I'm a freakoid or something when I do that.
I have been sleeping a lot myself since I went off the Straterra. It may just be coincidence cuz I'm getting increasingly depressed at the same time.
Your statement makes sense to me, sometimes no matter how hard yo try you can't "will" yourself into feeling better. Believe me, I've tried. My biggest obstacle lately is understanding my purpose in life (ok no snickering and mentioning that Steve Martin movie 'the Jerk' and the use of 'purpose' in it) Tee heee heee!!!! I just try to understand why I am doing all this. Why am I going through all this trouble? What's it all for? Oh, the questions of humanity. At least if I had children I could say that I'm here for them but I don't. Yikes, i gotta figure out something fast or at least some kind of b.s. story to get me by. I saw a bumper sticker today that said "adopt me Ozzy" , that hits too close to home I think!!!!
I only hope you can get some things figured out with your meds. We need all the punk rockers we can get these days!! hang in there Eddie!!!
