Reality sets in

Woke feeling dreadful. Is this withdrawal from Duloxetine? I have tingly electric shock sensations in my fingers and my heart is racing at times. I have a headache that won't clear (dare not take paracetamol) and just want to sleep. I make myself get up and potter around seeing to visiting dogs/rabbits. Weather is awful and M will not let me go out in this, so she is still doing all donkey care. I miss them. Decide to try a little food shopping at local shops, but regret this as I feel woozy and panicky/nauseous. Come home and spend the afternoon in bed. After tea, become weepy ++ cannot see how this is going to affect our lives. Will I be able to work again? If so will it just be part time? How do you run a pet care business if you're not allowed out in the rain? Are we able to manage without my income? Am I going to be some poor pathetic poorly person forever only pottering and on and off steroids for the rest of my life? What if the drugs don't stabilise me? What about the SEVERE possible side effect that I googled last night? Not usually this negative. M tells me to stop it........if only I could. Hopefully this is duloxetine withdrawal and positivity will return tomorrow. Speak to my son, he's so lovely and makes me laugh....mother love...best drug ever!
