I’ve taken a full weeks worth of pills now.
I’m finding it hard to know what are side effects and what would have been happening anyway. Which is positive, because it means I’m not getting that many side effects, and those I am getting aren’t that bad.
But for anyone interested, I’ve been having some trouble getting to sleep at night which seems to be accompanied by a feeling of tension and pressure behind the eyes and forehead. I also don’t stay asleep for that long; I’ve been waking up at 1.30, 3.30, 5.30 etc.. and each time it feels like I’ve been asleep for aaages, and surely it must be almost morning by now, but then it turns out to be just a couple of hours after I fell asleep in the first place.
I’ve been getting anxious *as* I fall asleep, but hey, that happens to me anyway. Mostly I solve that by leaving the TV on a sleep timer so I’m not just staring in to the darkness getting more and more freaked out, and hallucinating geometric spirals (not a side effect, that frequently happens).
Luckily, I haven’t *had* to take any clonazepam yet, though I feel that doing so would probably make sleeping easier.
Apart from that, I’ve been planning my final year project for uni and my course of action is becoming clearer and feels more together, which is very exciting. I’m making software to help anxiety sufferers – can’t say any more than that at the moment. This is kind of what I want to do in life…
