Day 2 - Cipralex Diaries

I swallow pill number 2 just after breakfast. A bit of sweats before an interview this afternoon but maybe it's from reading all about Cipralex sweats. Had to wipe my face and upper lip a few times with a handkerchief. The Tube was hotter than it should have been. The city summer feels hot for the first time but it's not really - it's just me sweating. I'm sweaty anyhow. Feel a bit of a brain freeze like a mild weed buzz or a slight hangover. Yawning at 7pm. Feel like I'm babbling and confused a bit when I speak. Forgot what day it was twice today for a nano-second. It's kind of like I'm a bit stoned, but just a bit. Interview went well. Nothing freaky about my conversations or actions.

I feel I'm yawning a bit more than normal by 7pm. I went out for dinner with the wife, we always like a fine meal and a bottle of vino, especially on a Friday night. I was conscious of the general warnings re alcohol and Cipralex. I had a Mojito, a Coke and a bunch of water. Nothing earth shattering happened although had I pursued more alcohol I likely would have started to feel a bit of a paranoid buzz - not because it existed but just because of the stuff I've been reading online about the effect of alcohol on Cipralex. My Mojito gave me a bit of a buzz, but more like a really light weed buzz.

Again, more yawning and a bit of a freezing headache by the end of dinner.

Am considering taking my next dose tomorrow evening before bedtime to experiment a bit. Last night I was tossing and turning but this could have been because I was aware that insomnia may or may not be a side effect. Whatever, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night for thinking of my job situation, the way I was treated, the crap they said about me and then more thoughts about why I'm at this point, how I arrived here and then wondering if I'm awake because of Cipralex?

At the end of the day the headache is still there - a bit stronger than it was prior to dinner. As I write I feel a slight burn in my head - the freezer burn feeling, and there's a faint ring in my ears - but really faint. Actually the feeling in my head is more akin to the feeling you get when you've been talking on your cell to someone for more than 5 minutes - that cellphone radiation burn feeling. Whether it's Cipralex or cellphone it doesn't feel too too normal.
