I took life water to work and I seemed to do better. I wasn't moving around as much as the other day but I definitely got sweaty but didn't feel overheated and exhausted.
I realized when I was driving to work that I hadn't had anything to drink all morning and I don't normally drink water in the morning so I'm going to try and drink a glass or so before work.
Ooh that would be pretty, Deena, especially that saguaro cactus bloom!
Every time I see "life water" I think whisky.
I think of some kind of weird cult thing
I'm trying to do my taxes . I shouldn't have waited. I tried to file and I need to find something where it's free with a 1099-Misc and will do state taxes. According to Credit Karma my federal return will be about $200. Less than half of last year
But I owe, according to them, nearly $1100 to the state of NC I can't figure out why.
askye, I have awful heat issues too. I think it must be the medication -- I never used to have problems like this. The slightest amount of humidity, or temps above 70 deg F, and I'm a sweaty exhausted mess. whatever you do, don't wear polyester.
Me too! It is a known side effect of citalopram, or at least the excess sweating is! I also blame peri-menopause and blood sugar issues for it getting worse in my 40s.

askye, have a look at myfreetaxes.com
It is a service from United Way, in partnership with H&R Block. (Disclosure: I work for H&R Block, doing systems QA and support. I am not a tax preparer.)
There are also many free DIY options available through the IRS's Free File Alliance.
Great source, dcp! I was going to try to do my own this year, but because I own my home and have a few shares of stock, the "free" ones were estimating I would pay over $200 to use their software.

I talked to my doctor about it - it is indeed a side effect of Effexor. So we added an anti-hidrosis med and we'll see what happens. (I don't normally like to take meds to counter the side effects of other meds, that way lies madness and an overflowing medicine cabinet, but I'll make an exception for not dissolving into a river of sweat.)
