Adjusting to Loopiness and sudden energy Burst.
8/4/2014
I can honestly say that for most of my life I have never taken prescription drugs. Well... when I was younger I dabbled with some drugs but nothing really hard core. I never really got into the drug thing because I don't like not being in control with myself. It's not that I NEED to be in control all the time but lets be honest... most people can not be trusted. Drugs for me was a way to cause me to let down my guard around people I would normally not trust with my safety. I like to have a good time as long as I can trust those around me. Anyway my point being is that when I first started seeing a doctor I knew I would have to simply trust this person with my life. Now for me... that is so much harder than it sounds. I knew I would be on meds for my blood pressure ,cholesterol, Anxiety and Diabetes. It is a serious reality check to know you need meds to stay alive. Trust has no real bearing with this new reality. It is a fact I am learning to accept. So when my doctor makes changes to my meds.. I am forced to accept his judgment and experience. Talk about stepping out of your comfort zone! As hard as it is to simply trust... so far it's been worth it. The one thing that does bother me is how weird I feel most of the time. The mix of all these meds do make me feel loopy and out of sorts. I'm thinking the Lexapro may be the main med that is making me feel so blah. However... I do understand that it will take time for my body to adjust to all these chemicals flowing through my system. I will just be happy when it does adjust. it's making me all "Walking Deadish". I just have to Trust that things with my body will even out and I can get back to functioning normally. Whatever "Normal" is.
Another thing that I have been noticing is these energy burst that seem to hit me mostly at night. It does not last very long but it's like I get into a zone when I feel focused and clear headed. Perhaps it is evidence that my body is adjusting? My blood sugar level was at a all time low of 157 this morning. Not where it should be but it is so much better than it was before. I won't whine about the energy burst because it makes me feel so much better even if it is for a short period of time. I know I have other things going on with my body that still needs to be addressed and diagnosed but for now I am feeling a bit better and I am happy about that..or maybe it's that damn Lexapro talking and I'm still a miserable old bastard. :)
I have another doctors appointment next week and one more with my blood doctor as soon as they call me. More updates are coming your way.
Have a great week!
