Shake, rattle, and roll

Mixed reviews on my increased antidepressant dosage. On the one hand, I feel a lot more energetic and was zipping around for 8 hours today running errands. On the other hand, I've been having severe insomnia unless I take a sleeping pill, an occasionally rapid heartbeat, and slight tremors. I think that I've reached the limit of how much of the antidepressant I can tolerate. (And hmm, one list of side effects says to call a physician for rapid heartbeat and tremors. This is not boding well. If the side effects continue, I'll call.)

Yeah, I know this is kind of boring, but it helps me to be able to look back at old entries before I see the doctor and figure out what happened when.

I bought a vibrating alarm clock (no, not like that, although it probably would work quite well-;)) to add to my arsenal of two to three auditory alarm clocks and the lights on the sunrise timer. Getting up will be a total multimedia experience-;) It might not even be overkill, because I've been known to sleep through two alarm clocks and two wake-up calls. Of course, I was a lot more tired then, but the sleeping pills can make it really tough to get up.

My light box and sunrise timer arrived today, so I get to go play with them.
