| 5 | Insomnia | It has a definite and very welcome appetite suppressant effect on me. I hope that continues; I know for some people it causes weight gain. It also makes me want to sweeten my coffee a lot less; less than half what I did before I started taking it. In addition it has changed my temperature perceptions; I used to get cold during the day and would turn the thermostat up, then turn it down at night and turn on two fans. I don't need the fans, and I keep the temperature the same day and night. The downside is that it makes me very loopy; I have trouble thinking of words and names, and my spelling has gotten horrible. I can live with that. | It's helping me get to sleep and wake up at normal times, something I haven't been able to do for more than a year. It's causing me to lose weight; I have to force myself to eat twice a day so I can take my pills (which need to be taken with food). My life is getting progressively saner. I feel like a new person. I don't think I was depressed or anxious before, but maybe I was. Anyway, I'm happier now because of the positive changes. | F | 65 | 4 days 50 MG 1X D | 12/23/2014 | |
