I couldn’t make it to my therapists appointment today. It wasn’t until 3pm but I was paralyzed. My heart palpitations were wild all night and haven’t stopped and it’s 7pm Arizona time. This morning I took an Ativan which really doesn’t work anymore but I was praying it would either give me a few hours sleep or stop the palpitations but it didn’t do either. My nighttime terrors are kicking in because I know what lies ahead. My blood pressure is up even though I took my prescribed Bystolic and I took 2mg propranolol which my cardiologist forbid me to take. I didn’t eat anything until 4pm and it was only an English muffin. My husband went food shopping and brought home a prepared chicken meal. I managed to eat half. I was sick last night and my husband had to clean me up like a baby. It was humiliating because of the way I look now from the anorexic effects of the Effexor. I look at myself and just cry. Rick, I am using the name Dorothy to sign in but my real name is Claudia. Since we’ve gotten to know each other on line, I wanted you to know that. I don’t know how this nightmare will end. I know my husband is suffering greatly from seeing me go through this. I send my prayers to you. I applaud you for joining the gym. Your friend, Claudia
