So it dawned on my today that one of the reasons I’m feeling not so hot is that I’m almost certainly having side effects from the anti-depressant. Specifically, muscle aches.

For the past month–despite the fact I stretch for 10 to 15 minutes after I exercise (I highly recommend it–it’s the wind down portion of my day), my muscles have tight and tense and sore. Not an in-your-face kinda sore, more like a general uncomfortableness, especially in my legs and back.

Essentially, my muscles feel like they won’t relax at all.

So, when I go back to the happy doctor, I think I’m going to request yet another medication switch. Because I have a feeling my exhaustion may be tied into this, since I’m probably not sleeping as well as I could be.

So humph. But it could always be worse.
