Pristiq is also a no. When I saw the first warning about raising BP, the doc assured me it was only 1-2%. Yeah, that's who actually reported it so log that down for me, will ya?

Then again, my BP could have been somewhat elevated due to the DAY LONG HEADACHE I had yesterday (also listed a side effect). Oh or maybe it was the spike in ANXIETY (also listed as a side effect) where I caught myself gritting my teeth. Check off another anxiety med - albeit off label use of the med - causing me anxiety. Love that irony.

Toss that in the bin with the rest of them. Honestly, I'll just have to deal with this stuff the old fashioned way since MH meds seem to cause me more trouble than they're worth.

Like a karate kick to the solar plexus, yesterday I was bowled over realizing how utterly, horribly, behind I am at work and with all the new things that are hitting at the same time, I'm in a constant state of near-panic.

I'll get it reined in but in the meantime I'd like to request that the constant anxiety-based overyawning and the stress headaches while I'm trying to sleep cut it the fuck out ASAP.

EDIT: Though I am at least making a minimum effort on my favorite holiday today. I have on a long navy dress with blue/gray drapey sweater and am wearing my copper and clear bead diadem around my head, big dangly silver and bead earrings, a crystal necklace and this necklace

Obviously no one here gets the Harry Potter reference of it being the Deathly Hallows. Also, no one besides my friend Latisha at the front desk has commented on my attire. I'm thinking that it's because they assume I'm a witch observing the holiday. I'm fine with that (Veri and I had a brief Instagram discussion whether Jedi qualifies as a type of witchcraft. Han thinks so). Also, I stopped telling people that I was Rowena Ravenclaw going undercover as a muggle. Too tedious to explain to these non-Force possessing muggles

Anxiety is a parasite. It's a living being that thrives on the adrenaline it makes you generate. It's a tricky thing that evades being caught and eliminated for good. It'll go into hiding somewhere in the dark recesses of your brain and lies in wait until everything is quiet before striking hard. Why does the parasite wait? Because it has learned somehow that the adrenaline is sweeter if allowed to stay down for a while before being prodded back again all nice and plentiful and fresh.

Damned parasite. It decided last night that it had waited long enough and started to prod at my subconscious when I was drifting off to sleep, causing broken and nonsensical mini-nightmares. It woke me up and decided it wasn't pleased that I wasn't reacting enough so it squeezed at my back so that I couldn't sleep in bed anymore. Then when I was foolish enough not to take anything aside from pain meds, decided to worm back into the dreams.

Suffice it to say, I'm tired today and glad that I'd already planned to take the day off. However screw that parasite. A little white pill will take care of things tonight...I hope.
