My new favorite word is "akathasia." It means "severe internal restlessness."
Do you ever watch those pharmaceutical commercials when they start listing the side affects. Most of the side affects are worse than the damn condition. Well, this is the list of possible symptoms while withdrawing from Wellbutrin. It's pretty damn funny, in a sad, anxious, nervous, and constipated way.
What is funny about it is usually you don't have one or the other, sometimes it can be both. Take the old diarrhea and constipation combo. Such a great combo. One day you're complaining that you have a stomach full of shit and the next you are scared you may have an attack while walking the dog. In that case neighbors see you speed-walking through the neighborhood, with butt-cheeks clenched.
Another funny aspect of this; many of these symptoms are the same symptoms I have from the injury: agression, concentration impairment, dizziness, crying spells, fatigue, irritability, and troubling thoughts--to name a few. This is why I want off. This is why I am curious.
Sorry if this post is full of frustration. For some reason I am so irritable and full of akathasia today.
this is a bobcat classic. should def go in your act.

strange; we don't have these lists in Germany. there are only side-effect-lists for taking pharmaceuticals, never for getting off periods. would that make things easier?
