Drugs update/downgrade Phase I reboot Day 1

This morning dropped back to 20mg escitalopram. At the end of the day I feel nauseous, bloated, choking/strangling. How I hate nausea. Feel thirsty all the time but the fluid is sloshing about. Pain relatively better, but yesterday was bloody extreme so I'm all out of comparisons. Ears are throbbing (sound comes and goes), which might be a blood pressure thing, or perhaps ordinary sinus pressure to go with the creaky jaw. Short of breath.

Did walk the 20 minutes mostly down hill to pick up the car after an $800 service. Ouch on multiple levels.

Last night had to break out the spare doona to make an extra cushion layer to try and sleep. Did not sleep much.

Tomorrow is another day.

ED: About half an hour after writing this I had a huge vom, but golly I feel *so much better* I can hardly believe it. One of those "you'll feel better afterwards" things I've never really trusted. Only downside is that I've lost my night time meds, but I'll give it a bit of time before I double up. Hopefully there's no more where that came from.

More suckiness! Hoping for better tomorrow!
