Day 12 Tuesday September 14, '04
Cymbalta 30mg a.m.
Effexor 10mg a.m.Klonopin as needed
I hate taking Klonopin. If I take enough to ease a panic attack it makes me tired and sleepy and depressed. But if I don't take it I can't handle the panic attacks. I wish there was something lighter that would only last a while - as long as an anxiety attack, a few hours, and not make me so dragged out feeling.
Anyway...
I've been pretty energetic today, considering the Klonopin effects. I've had to be because of the hurricane preparations.
Efficacy: No particular additional improvement today that I could notice. I feel kind of sluggish.
I have completely stopped having suicidal thoughts - even during the panic/anxiety attacks I just feel terrified and cry but I don't want to die anymore.
Side effects: Dry mouth is less (until I take the Klonopin). I'm yawning a lot but again, I think that's the Klonopin. I've had a mild headache today and I'm still having some heartburn (which is extremely unusual for me). It could be from the Cymbalta or from the anxiety. STill having the tone/roaring in my head. I think it's from too much norepinephrine.
STill no improvement in anhedonia.
