Coming down
Aug. 1st, 2008 10:53 amThe last two days I have been without my allergy medication. From time to time I run out and decide to just go without for a few days, give the body a chance to flush and such. So when my Claritin D ran out, I decided to do so again. Ugh. These last two days have not been going well so far. I always forget that the pill actually does something, even if only a little. One of the main reasons I take an allergy pill to begin with is so that I can sleep right. I don't know why, but without it I don't ever wake up feeling rested. I felt like that for years before I started taking allergy stuff. Every morning I'd wake up feeling tired, as if I just weren't getting enough oxygen as I was sleeping or something. I'm not sure if it's because of the decongestant, or because things like Allegra and Claritin are like big time uppers (I've been told taking one allegra d was like taking four sudafed), but I take one an hour or two before bed and wake up actually feeling rested. Not so much today and yesterday. I feel like the walking dead, and it's hard to concentrate.
It's weird to say, but it almost seems like I'm going through withdrawals at the moment. This morning, not only was I tired, but I was rapidly shifting back and forth between wanting to cry and wanting to scream and hit things, and for no discernible reason. It has been a bit frightening, to tell the truth. Thankfully, now that I've done my workout, I'm much too exhausted to feel much of anything, though the tired remains with me. Blarg.
