Schedule alteration, again.

Category: healthjkt @ 12:29

I’m switching to taking the mirtazapine at night again.

I took it this morning and then got up. About 30 minutes after getting up I felt like I’d been hit by a truck and was physically exhausted. I knew I had to drive within a couple of hours, but was concerned about doing so.

I did drive to my appointment, and I was fine, but still felt incredibly lethargic and emotionally depressed (very unusual).

Upon arriving home, a total of about four hours or so after taking the pills, I feel fine. On this basis I think there is correlation/causation, and I’m going to revert to night time dosing – especially if I want to return to work within the next two weeks, which I certainly do (and need to, financially!)

When I arrived home I had a response from Dr Broadhead saying that in his experience, what I’d put forward (previously), doesn’t happen, though he is happy for me to play around with my dosing schedule as I see fit.

A shorter, 15km, cycle

Category: fitnessjkt @ 07:52

Yesterday morning I woke and decided to go on a cycle ride before Emma woke and we had breakfast. I rode 15.5km, on a slightly different route before. You’ll notice the first 10-15 minutes are on a steep incline. That hurt me for the remainder of the course!
