The hypochondriac is back!
The last few days have been a nightmare. I have horrible insomnia, maybe getting 4-5 hrs sleep maximum every night. I’ve also had heartburn, feel nauseous and have no appetite.
P’s sister is a community psychiatric nurse so she’s familiar with the use of Seroxat. She says that this is quite normal and should subside within two to three weeks. What! It’s only been four days and I feel totally exhausted – how am I supposed to survive another fortnight? She recommended I give it another week and go see my GP.
Today I got some Nytol to help with the sleep problems and some antacid tablets for the heartburn. God, I hope they work! I am so exhausted by the lack of sleep I feel like I’m gonna collapse into a heap on the floor!
You should see the mountain of pills I have to take at bedtime now:
Seroxat x1 (anxiety/depression)
Nytol x2 (insomnia)
Evening Primrose x1 (skin)
Antacids x2 (heartburn)
Doxycycline x1 (skin)
Noriday x1 (contraceptive)
I feel like a walking drugstore.
