Day 8 - 2:50 PM

I inulged a little too much last night and paid the price this morning, but it was a great evening. I really felt at ease and was so happy to be with my friends. I was even hit on by some girl at the bar. I really feel like the Lexapro is having a positive impact, however the sexual side effects seem to persist.

My headache this morning was collosal. I took my pill later in the morning and today, while tired, I am actually able to focus in spite of my state. This might be working for me.

Day 7 - 3:52 PM

Okay, this is strange. I feel like every muscle in my body feels restless. I am also yawning a lot, but I don't feel particularly tired. I feel like if I go to the gym and exerted myself heavily I would feel a lot less agitated. That is probably not a bad idea. I definitely feel a lot more focused which may be simply because I am catching up on sleep (sort of) but I really feel 180 degress from who I felt on Zoloft. On Zoloft I was yawning a lot too but I was also very sluggish and unable to keep any semblance of a focus. Now I feel like how a ferret might feel. I am still getting that pain in my chest that I was having before so I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with a pill being lodged in my esophogus. I also feel an odd twinging downtown which leaves me expecting more (but different) sexual side effects ahead. Yippie!

Day 7 - 10:30 am

Last night I took Sonata to get to sleep and while it did take a while for me to fall asleep and while I did wake up at 3:30 as usual, I did get back to sleep and got a reasonably full night of sleep. I felt typically underslept when the alarm woke me up at 7 AM and I gave myself another 30 minutes. I took my first Lexipro this morning with coffee and I can tell already that it feels different from Zoloft. I would say I am less groggy now than usual and can actually think straight. I had to give an interview at 9 AM and I actually was reasonably lucid. This morning I was still suffering from the same anticlimactic side effect, but maybe that will go away in a day or so? I sure hope so. So far so good, but of course way to early to call.
