I’m finally starting to feel somewhat normal again after starting to take the Effexor. A friend of mine from the support group has been taking Effexor for hot flashes for a few months now. She had mentioned that it caused insomnia for her so she took the medication in the morning so she could sleep better at night. I decided to take the Effexor in the morning too since insomnia didn’t appeal to me. Well, I’ve found out that the medication has the opposite affect on me; it reminds me of the near face plant experience that I had when I was taking sleeping pills back in February. Needless to say, now I take the drugs before bed. For the first few days I would be drowsy until about 3pm the next day! The last few days have been better. I guess it just takes some time for the body to adjust.
I’m back to the Cancer Clinic tomorrow for my Herceptin infusion. The appointment should only be about 2 hours instead of the 6-7 hours it took when I had to have chemo too. Yeah.
