I am taking Lexapro and Trazadone for my anxiety and depression; however, I am weening off of my meds due to a 40 pound weight gain (over 4 years) that has occured, and a loss of a sex drive, as well as a lack of motivation to do things, and a lack of energy. However, I'm halfway weened off of my meds right now; the effects: I am inundated with a flood of anger that is controllable now, but it is there (in a serious tone) and behold - a temper for which I turn green and destroy buildings (jk). I have chronic insomnia; that is, my brain doesen't seem to have a power off switch or button. Tylenol seems to help that a little. My motivation is happily back now. As for my opinion on my meds - to quote Muloch (I'm as ugly as he is, but I'm not a demon) in Paradise Lost: My sentence is for open war!!
I will rid myself of these infernal meds, and find a better way to handle such intense emotions; if it means exercise, so be it. I must lose 40 pounds anyways. Behold, little white pills - I cast you forthwith towards the chemical hell from which you arrived from!
