And Mom, before you read any further, relax. :-) This is no big deal but it makes for a funny story.
So guess what happens when you stop taking Paxil cold turkey after being on it for nearly three years?
You guessed it. A whole host of withdrawal symptoms, including my old friend vertigo. Thank God this is an easy fix. You just start taking the Paxil again. Easy peasy Japaneseie.
The whole reason I went off it was to switch to a different anti-depressant which can help with chronic pain. Well, I never quite got far enough along in taking it to find out if it would work or not, because I refuse to put up with the other bad symptoms. I'll take pain over dizzy and nauseous ANY day.
Another really cool withdrawal symptom? WICKED nightmarish dreams. Very vivid,very real, and very odd. Last night it got to the point that I was TELLING myself, in my dream, to wake up. Wierd. But kinda cool, in a psychological experimental-type of way.
The good news is, I think I may be getting a bit better! The pain hasn't been quite as bad lately, and I feel better now that I've been moving a bit more. Dare I say that I might be seeing a light at the end of this (very long depressing) tunnel? I sure hope so.
Our weekend was a lot of fun. Our next door neighbors threw a HUGE party on Saturday night and we went over and visited for a bit. After that, Glynn decided that the Spencer family campout would take place in the basement on the pull-out couch. We had so much fun! I ended up on the futon because I know two kids that don't quite know how to share smaller spaces, but it was a blast anyway. The kids thought it was pretty cool to get to sleep in the basement.
We also put Brady's Lightening McQueen bed together. We just have to get a mattress for it and there is going to be a very happy little boy. His bed is awesome, and a lot bigger than I had anticipated it being! It's really cute. I'm not quite ready for two such big kiddos. :(
Glynn's on duty tonight so it's just me and the kiddos for now. We just finished dinner and we're about ready for bathtime, so I'd better get them scrubbed up.
That's about it for now, more inane ramblings of a dizzy (blonde) redhead! I swear this will get more interesting soon. Karis and co. are coming up this weekend (can't WAIT!) so I'm sure I'll have plenty of funny shit to write about after that. Right, Carrots?
