For several years I have been taking Citalopram for the most dreadful PMS – see a previous post from Feb 2007 for details.
Every now and then I think about coming off and then remember how I was and felt before being on them and quickly decide not to come off them!
Occasionally I do forget to take it.
Recently I forgot to take it for a couple of days but I felt fine. I was busy, happy and feeling great so I had this idea that this would be the time I was going to stop – for good!
Not a very bright idea at all… I am completely aware of the fact that no one should ever stop this medication abruptly!! But I began feeling that perhaps I could beat it! Ha!
By day 3 I began to feel oddly dizzy, and slightly “detached” from reality, nothing major but had to stop what I was doing a few times.
The following day I woke up from the most crazy dream with a dreadful headache, nausea and when I got up out of bed I was extremely dizzy, like I had just stepped off a crazy fairground ride.
Turning my head made me woozy, my legs felt like jelly and my heart was racing.
I knew what I had to do – go back on the pills.
So I am now back on them and feeling a lot better, not 100% yet but getting there.
I know I have to taper off the dose in order to stop them but after this horrible experience I’m not even going to attempt that for a while..
I was intending to write a decent post this evening but things happened and time has run out – again.
Isn’t it annoying to have to live so much by the clock, knowing that if I don’t at least attempt to get my quota of sleep I will be no good for work tomorrow.
It would be so nice to be free of all these constraints and do whatever, whenever we wanted to!
Well lets hope tomorrow brings more time, motivation and inspiration!
Even though we have been having torrential rain recently, resulting in it being very muddy underfoot, Mabel has insisted on going out!
Not surprisingly she comes back with very muddy feets!
But at least she gives them a good cleaning!
When my son was away working in Dubai he met Holly.
As he planned his return to England they were devastated to find out that she was not given clearance to come with him.
So he came home alone and she had to return to her home in South Africa.
This was back in May and since then many plans have been made, papers submitted to relevant authorities and at last she was given an entry visa for residence.
This morning at 6:30 she arrived at Heathrow Airport.
I am so happy for them to be together again.
I’ve yet to meet Holly, today they are catching up and chilling together.
Another stepping stone in the life of a parent when your kids get proper live in partners!
Over the years 2 of my 3 children have suffered quite severely with eczema.
In fact even though they are now they are in their 20’s they still get it.
I’ve never had it, until now..
Recently I have been getting small but sore, intensely itchy patches in various places.
The worst place being on my scalp. It’s good that no one can see it but awful because I’m not going to be able to use any hair dye whilst it’s there…. wahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t need to visit my GP, we have a wide variety of ointments here and I think I probably know how to use them better than most having had over 20 years experience!
I just hope it clears up soon or..
