In reply to side effects: feeling cold, yawning or stretching?, posted by katekite on July 4, 2002, at 18:02:35
Yes, I know exactly what you are saying. It may very well mean the med(s) you are on are working well. I very much find when I get my med formula right, I physically feel both relaxed and alert at the same time. Especially just before I sleep, as I will 'drift' into sleep, rather than lay tossing and turning.Plus, this may relate to your stretching, but I get very achy in many of my joints (I think this is just part of the depression), and they don't feel so painful when my meds are working well, and I feel well.
I think you are on the right path. I hope it all goes well for you.
Take care,
Jay> So I feel hot most of the time...hormonal thing (working on that)... I notice sometimes I'll suddenly start to feel better and I get goose bumps and find at the same time I yawn, stretch etc, without feeling particularly sleepy.
