Day 4 on Pristiq

Once I get to day 14, I'll stop using that as a Post Title :)

Today was overall good. I slept until 1am, took my Xanax at 2am, and woke up at 6:15am. I ate a plum and took my Pristiq and nausea pills together. Finished up breakfast with another plum (They rock my world), and a bowl of dry cereal. I felt kind of tired/drowsy, so I just took it easy and laid on the couch. Vampire Diaries kept me entertained for most of the morning. I think I slept maybe 10 minutes off and on. I felt pretty good.

My mom and I did some chores here and there, and went to my new house around 1pm. I felt okay, just had a lot of pressure in my head. It felt like I had 20lbs on my brain stem. It didn't hurt, it was just annoying :) When we got to the house we started doing minor things (putting light switches up, putting cabinet doors back on, pulling weeds, putting on vents). I started to feel drowsy/dizzy/weird around 6pm. I went to lay down, knowing I hadn't eaten anything really all day. Hubbys parents went and got mexican food. I ate a couple bites, and the raw onions burned my nose and throat. I tried to eat some chips, but I just didn't feel like it. It started to feel hard to pick up my feet (getting groggy), so my mom and I left to come home.

And here we are. My head is still cloudy-ish, and I don't think allergies are helping at all. I'm on so many other medications that I haven't been taking anything for allergies. Being outside probably didn't help either :) My plan is to eat some more snap peas (LOVE) and take Mr Duke on a walk. As I type he keeps pawing at me, so cute.

I'm so happy to read over my previous posts and see the progress I've made. This time last week I was pacing, and clenching my jaw. I'm so thankful I'm not having those kinds of reactions right now.
