Waaaaayy TMI (moreso than last time)

[puddingcat]

I forgot my tablet yesterday morning. My tablets have a very short half life. By 4pm I was feeling spaced out, and on the bus on the way home I was having hot & cold sweats, feeling nauseous & getting head rushes every tie I blinked. Thankfully, they stopped within half an hour of getting home & catching up with the druggage, so I could enjoy my Chinese takeaway & celebrate in (some sort of) style.

The TMI bit, though. Hoo, boy. One Big side effect of Venlefaxine is constipation. Seriously - even with prunes and bananas and ExLax. It turns out that going 19 hours without the stuff is quite enough to sort that little problem out. Blimey.

I'll find out tomorrow what my GP's doing about the 75mg tablet shortage. I'm running out and nowhere here has them any more. Wyeth are being pants & aren't fixing the manufacturing problem, which (iirc) dates from before Christmas.

Thanks to vulgarcriminal for the use of her favourite tag.

Sudden is not always good.

Fluoxetine is the least worst thing I've been on and I say I'm on it but I'm supposed to take one every three days which is impossible to remember and so I am in a constant state of coming on and off symptoms but that's mildly better than nothing or being on them all the time.
