Sorry for the repeated negative posts but still feel shit from the sleep thing today.

I just want things to go back to normal. It's fucking me up at work. Tired, demoralised.

You're ok mate. Vent all you like. I'm about to get personal......

I know you were having constipation problems. Is that still the case? Because that can have a big impact on your sleep and well-being. If your not shitting every day or atleast every second day something is wrong.

I appreciate it, I just hate being so negative.

That other issue cleared up. It’s this anti depressant that’s the problem. Since I started taking it (also works to quit smoking) sleep has been shit but it does a great job with other stuff.

Now it has to be one or the other.

It’s tough tbh.

Ah right. I don't know much about anti depressants except for valium that I took years ago and had to stop because I loved it too much.

Make such you get some red meat and fish into your diet for iron and clarity.

Go see your GP if things don't clear up soon. Don't let it drag on.

Sounds like a good plan to me :)

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

change in meds can do that

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

True.

Having a look at your dietary and exercise is the first thing you should look at and up the anti if it's not adequate before you start to look at other things.

Between 3/day and once every three days is medically acceptable.

True but he's an active young man. He should be sliding them out every day.
