Enjoy the smooth sailing guys!
First time on tx the RIBA sped me up so I couldn't sleep if that happens call your
Doctor and watch for exhaustion
I ended up passing out and had to start
Taking something to sleep.
This time I started Lexapro 10 mg as it slows the body down a bit
And it has helped.
Have GREAT day heeling guys:)

I'm right there with you. Sitting around waiting for all the bad stuff to start happening. I keep checking for rash, burning, fatigue. It's nutso waiting for it to get worse. I don't have any answers. I'm just trying to live life normally, trying not to overdue it and looking for mindless stuff to keep my mind off it.

My first week has been an emotional rollercoaster but as far as side effects are concerned I think I have been lucky...my biggest problem is restlessness which I have BIG time this morning since waking up. I had my second injection yesterday lunch time and I thought this stuff was supposed to make you feel tired...I feel wired this morning and ill at the same time. I am thinking of going on my walking club lunchtime walk...I would gratefully trade in feeling tired for this mental feeling I have today...any tips...
