butterbur appears to work
Jun. 5th, 2012 11:08 pmI started feeling very relaxed and sleepy on Wiscon Monday, which I naturally attributed to exhaustion, but when I continued feeling that way late last week, at times not correlated with alcohol or activity, it seemed like more than just the trip and monthly loginess. I reduced the nortriptyline from 20mg to 10mg about four days ago. I quit feeling sleepy all the time, and this morning I had the annoying withdrawal symptom where I wake up too early, think about stuff, and get a little adrenaline rush so can't go back to sleep. (Possibly exacerbated by the season, but it was quite rainy all day so likely not.)
What I haven't had? Headaches. This despite having my period and eating approximately 92% of a chocolate bar yesterday. Every other time I've reduced the nortriptyline I've had headaches by now, even when they evened out quickly because the dose was high. Not sure yet if my dizziness has decreased, though I hadn't thought about that in days so maybe. Cautious yay!
