Mar. 9th, 2012 05:12 amOh, luteal phase. Oh, progesterone uptick. Oh, depressive downswing.
How I didn't miss you.
Medication review tomorrow, at which I will also get results of LEAST COMPETENT BLOOD SAMPLE EVAR. In general, the citalopram seems to be mostly doing a reasonable job of bringing my background mood up to "cheerful"; unfortunately 20mg doesn't seem to be enough when lolprogesterone. Unfortunately more than 20mg per day is contraindicated by the fact that I'm taking 20mg of omeprazole a day. Unfortunately I can't stop taking the omeprazole because of my long-term painkillers. Unfortunately, the citalopram might be making the painkillers less effective.
...
... on the plus side, I've just finished Braid, a game with a delightful time-travel mechanic and a REALLY OBNOXIOUS PLAYER CHARACTER. Luckily, you can mostly ignore the back story. (And I only cheated on two puzzles!)
(Other things I have played recently and heartily recommend apart from inevitable heterocentrism: Machinarium, an adorable steampunk point-and-click.)

Symptom log: 6 weeks on 10mg citalopram
Feb. 10th, 2012 11:14 amI have had REALLY VIVID DREAMS these last three nights, oh my goodness. One was about mooning after a person I have a crush on while they were just trying to have a birthday party, and I kept getting underfoot like a stray puppy; one about otherworldly monsters (think tentacles, and a mix between HP Lovecraft and the Howl's Moving Castle film) and boats and wheelchairs and rack railways; and I can't remember what the third was.
Also, results of the blood test came back: I do have very slightly elongated blood clotting profile-wossnames at the moment. To which I say one big fat I TOLD YOU SO, doctor who wanted me to believe that noses just sometimes go funny in cold weather, because I KNOW what my nose is normally like in cold weather okay and it ain't this -- but the upshot is, I'm going up to 20mg citalopram for a month and getting blood clotting retested in a month... and then we will put me on SOMETHING ELSE when it is obvious it has got substantially worse, lol.
GO GO RARE-SIDE-EFFECTS-PRONE-ALEX
(In slightly related news, I am disturbed by the fact that I've had spikes in stomach pain shortly after taking mefenamic acid... even though I am currently taking omeprazole as directed. Oh well, I'll chase that up sometime soon.)
