My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • [shashin type=”photo” id=”7459″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] It’s been a very strange year in the desert with the weather and shakings of the earth. It really makes me wonder what is going on in the environment and if perhaps the true end times are near (if you believe in that kind of thing). For the past week the weather has gone from clear blue skies to grey and now today there is rain.…

  • So, I guess I got busy this week and it passed without me writing as much. I’d like to say it was because I was busy writing other things (ie my lit review chapter!), but alas that was not the case. It was just an extremely busy week at work that left me exhausted. I slept in a bit this morning, which was good because I really need to ensure that I relax…

  • Surprisingly, I still feel fewer effects of the Cipralex with the higher dosage. It is good to not have the haziness, but I am not sure if it also means that I am calmer or if I am not as affected. I wanted to try staying at the 10mg for a while, but have to sort of see how we go with this dosage. It’s only been 3 days and a total of…

  • Strangely, I feel less hazy on the higher dosage. Maybe by this afternoon that will change as I notice I do get a little bit more tired. In any case, no side effects that I can see so far and I think I am calmer, but can’t say for sure. I will just have to be more watchful. Anyway, this weekend passed so quickly. I feel as if I still need another couple…

  • You may or may not have noticed that my April calendar has filled up for posts, which means that I have finished updating my posts on our Turkey trip. There are pics within the posts, or I will make a separate post with just the photo album. There are 778 pics in the album, so if you just want the highlights, I recommend just going to the posts. 😉 Our last free day…

  • Thought a little change in title posts might be refreshing. 🙂 I finished Day 6 of the 5mg of Cipralex and took 10mg last night. I will write more about the uppage later. Last night I was meant to go out with friends to another wine mixer, but after I got home from work I took a nap and woke up feeling just totally exhausted. It’s strange as I didn’t feel that tired…

  • Eventually I will stop counting the days, I promise. However, for the time being it is good for me to keep track of the days as I build up my dosage. I’m not sure yet if I will stay on 10-15mg or go to 20mg. Hopefully, by the time I build to that I will have seen my therapist again…. In any case, the only change I really notice is the continued moments…

  • Day 4 was the best day since I have been back from my trip. I think I am mostly recovered from the food poisoning and the three hour nap the day before along with an early sleep helped with the tiredness. So, it seems I am adjusting. My head still gets hazy moments, mostly in the afternoons, so am hoping that is just a phase or I guess I will get used to…

  • This morning I woke up at 4:30 and could never really go back to sleep until I finally had to get up around 5:30 for work. Clearly, I am still stressing out about things as that is the general reason why I end up awake or can’t sleep through the nights. However, either because of the lack of sleep or being hormonal and/or the cipralex, I was in a daze most of the…
