I seem to be on this every other day roller-coaster ride. Today is day 6 of the new med citalipram...I was quite nauseous the first couple days but that is better but now I just feel dopey and drugged. I had a bad day yesterday and didn't do much except putter around the house. Today I felt better so went to the little farmers market for some fresh veggies and berries. I walked around a bit and came home, napped for 2 hrs, iced my ankles and knees and am still pretty sore in my calf muscles. So far this stuff is not making a difference in my pain but I agreed to take it for a month so that is what I will do. I have, however, noticed an improvement in the quality of sleep I'm getting. I still have disrupted sleep & wake up every 2-3 hrs but am finding it easier to fall back asleep and it's a deeper, dreamless kind of sleep.
I just wonder when this med will stop making me feel loopy or is this how it is supposed to be?
