A number of changes has occured over the past few weeks. I normally take 10mg paxil nightly with tiny dose of dexedrine 3 times daily. After stopping dexedrine I been feeling more clear headed and looking healthier. I normally have been on Paxil before by itself without dex so I believe it cannot be the cause for such a downward spiral.
And I felt better when stopping the dex... at least a day after I felt better and the next day too. Then on monday I felt so disoriented when I got up from bed (got a new firmer matress that is high up). I dont know if it was the matress but I also had huge nightmares that night and woke up in sweats at times. I felt very strange for a while that day and better in the evening.
That morning was when it all started I guess but possibly earlier. I also been taking fish oil 3-4 times a day for a few weeks. Sometimes it has made me feel hot headed but also I was under the impression that it had a mild positive effect on me. But who knows. Could fish oil or Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids sometimes cause a worsening of depression?
Also I been taking melatonin before bed. I just started those 1 and a half weeks ago. They help me sleep and fall asleep faster. Could those be doing something negative that I am not aware of?
Also I been taking 1-2mg higher dose of paxil at times instead of the usual 10mg.
I also been excersizing quite a bit. I been working on getting myself into shape and as I get all this moderate muscle on my chest and arms it's good to look good but I never felt ''good'' after excersizing. I always felt tired or exhausted or hot headed.
Could excersize be causing me to burn out the paxil? I dont know what the hell is going on but I feel like crap.
My depression is worse and I find it difficult to even talk to people anymore. Before it was bad enough but at least I could live my daily boring uneventful life but now it's like I am in pain. AND I am getting anxiety. I feel scared of my health deteriorating and my visions is darker. Everything looks darker. My room, television, night vision, JUSt everything is dark and pale and for some reason my black eyes are back. after stopping dexedrine i would no longer have black eyes and ''the druggie'' look and now black eyes are back.I feel very low motivation, not interested in anything, tv shows were so boring to watch but I forced myself to watch them because I cant just do nothing. I always enjoyed tv and today I could not. I have no interest to do anything. No motivation to do anything. I feel awful and I cannot control any of it. Something is wrong in my head.
WHat the hell caused this? Omega 3 fatty acids? Melatonin? Excersize? Protein bars? What on earth is it?
