Restless
I'm thinking a call to my psychiatrist is in order. Over the last few days I've felt really restless, not comfortable, squirmy, whatever you want to call it. I sit to do something and feel bored and distracted. I can't get out of my own way. I wake up at 4:30 and feel the need to get up, although I'm still so tired. I'm irritable for no good reason. It's like this constant sense of anticipation, like someone is about to sneak up on me or something really bad is about to happen. It's almost like an itch under my skin that I can't scratch. I have to force myself to get up and get anything done becaue I look around and see these messes and it just all seems very overwhelming. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

That's how I feel every month the week before my period. It took me years to figure out my anxiety was linked to my PMS. Its a horrible, horrible feeling, always waiting, thinking something horrible is about to happen. Every cell in your body "buzzing". It just drains you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have felt like that in the past right before my period, too, but it was before I started taking antidepressants. This is like that feeling doubled. It's driving me nuts! I just called my psychiatrist and left a message and when she calls me back I'll tell her that it could be cycle related and see what she says.
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't help that I'm already feeling anxious and I read Prozac's side effects and see this:
ReplyDelete"Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Prozac:
decreased concentration; decreased coordination; exaggerated reflexes... new or worsening agitation, panic attacks, aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, hostility... restlessness, or inability to sit still... severe or persistent anxiety, trouble sleeping..."
