Walking The Thin Man

In May 2005, I learned that I had developed amyloidosis, a rare protein folding disease. This is my story.

Sleepy Weekend

Much to my protest, I have been started on 10mg of Lexapro to deal with general anxiety and depression during the treatment. I'm on Day 4 of this medication, and I am now in a state of constant fatigue. I slept on and off for 11 hours last night, and I feel like going back to sleep this afternoon.

Typically when starting or stopping most anti-depression medications, there is a period of a few weeks where your body experiences a few side effects as it adjusts to the drug. I was expecting to feel a little tired, but not to be debilitated like I am today.

Hey Tony, I experienced that exact same reaction with Lexapro. I was literally disabled for days.

Can't wait to see you, I am coming on the 30th as you know. Pete and I ready to help pack up and stuff. Let us know what you need/want!

Love

Denise
