Dang, I know I said I was worried about side effects from antidepressants, but I was thinking about the long-term ones and totally forgot about the short-term ones that make it such a pain to get started on them. (Well, I *hope* they're short-term, and all evidence suggests they will be.)
This post brought to you by a weird persistent non-migraine headache and the kind of slight dizziness you get when you're tipsy (without any of the fun of being tipsy).
I'd better feel like a golden GOD when this drug starts working, y'all.
Teppy, having just done this dance recently, it is usually temporary. Feel better soon.
I've missed smiting. It's so much fun.
Not as much a I have missed the smites.
I didn't get the headache, but the tipsy dizziness only lasted for a few days. I also got mild nausea and heartburn, but that's gone now too. Taking it in the morning instead of at night seems like a good idea, from one day into that experiment. I'm kinda surprised at the lack of side effects, given how easily freaked-out my system usually is about medication.

It's about time, for both of us!
Well, I tried taking half a Vicodin, which is sometime enough to dull the pain but leave my brain unfuzzed enough to do work, but I couldn't concentrate on the work I was trying to do at all. And I'm dizzy, and I don't know why. And I still have no potato chips.
Steph, I hope you feel better soon.
Double-post, up there.
Blast, now I want potato chips.
I had a daily headache for 3 weeks with Lexapro, so that's annoying but tolerable. The dizziness is weird, though. But I know this drill well enough to know it should be gone in a week or 2. Hopefully just 1.
It was about a week this last time for me. I made the mistake of maintaining my usually dose of caffeine the first day, and I was positively buzzing and filled with anxiety. But now I am back on my regular caffeine without the terrible side effects.
Also, if anyone wants any washi tape, the Recollections brand is apparently 19 cents a roll at Michael's today, though most stores don't have it marked.
