Re: This makes total sense to me!       03/01/05 08:33 AM Edit Reply Quote Nelly Reged: 08/06/04 Posts: 4381 Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC O Tina!! {{{{{{{{HUGS!!!!}}}}} You always make me feel so much better. I'm convinced I don't need an AD, at least not for depression. My problem is that I have RLS and kick in my sleep, and in the last year I've developed a nasty habit of gnashing my teeth in my sleep too. It's painful because I usually bite down on my tongue or cheek, HARD. And my mouth gets full of these painful sores that swell up and make it difficult to talk. Plus it's nerve wracking that I would actually subconsciously be causing so much harm to myself while I'm sleeping. Talk about being jolted awake too, BTW! So yeah, the nortriptyline is to help me sleep. I'm only taking 25 mg at bedtime. For the AD effects they usually prescribe in the 175-300 mg range. But that will actually bring on sleeplessness, so that's no good for me. I haven't taken it for 3 days, and I'm still getting the good effects (I can sleep, and don't kick or bite). The bad effects are waning (listlessness, loss of personality, tendency to stare at TV for long hours ). I'm still not back to my normal self, but I can feel my intellect and creativity slowly returning. You guys know that my ability to communicate and find humor in things is a big part of my personality. It felt like I was a dementia patient, looking at the world but unable to be a part of it. Very scary when you know your mind is going, and you can't snap back. I can see why the mentally ill refuse medication. It very much creates a prison of the mind. I'm going to have to think about how I'm going to take this drug. The good thing is it does not make me suicidal like the other ADs do. My BF has been watching me just in case. But I have absolutely no suicidal thoughts on this drug, at least not at this dose. Whew. That's pretty scary, when your brain succeeds and tries to destroy the body through cutting and self-injuring. None of that on this drug, luckily. For that, it was Wellbutrin, Paxil and the worst one: Zoloft that made me self-injure. Don't want to do THAT again. So that's my drug dilemma, reconciling the good effects against the bad ones. I'm going to try and write as much of this down in my journal before I take my next pill and zonk out for the next 3 days! ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
