Do You Ever Get "Nervous Energy?"

[kers]

I get this, and it always brings with it a frantic desire to do something--to go out with friends, go shopping, clean, undertake a gardening project...it can be used productively, but it usually means I'm avoiding something deeper emotionally. Now I try to pause and be still with myself.

I felt nervous energy when I was taking Reboxetine so I stopped it and changed back to Cymbalta.

2quilt,

LOL!!! I had a lot of "nervous energy" from taking Cymbalta! I would walk for hours, clean house, shop, etc after only 2 hours of sleep at night, and then at the end of the day, I would sit jabbering on the phone to anyone who would listen. Then stayed up most of the night watching TV, chewing on stuff like gum, Starbursts, caramels, etc while I fidgeted ...drumming fingers, tapping my feet, etc. Drove everyone in the house, including myself, totally crazy!!! After tapering down from 30 mg. to 3 mg. per day, I am finally off completely...just couldn't take the jitters anymore!! :eek:

You've probably already looked into this, She Cat, but if you're on any medications, your tolerance level can change over time and might be affecting you...just a thought...

Hi red,

Nope, I am not on any meds, so that isn't an issue. But thanks for the info. Still on my lovely high, waiting to crash and burn. I know it's coming, just not sure when.....LOL!!!!!!
