Fucking Inderal = Tranquilizer. I am convinced.

"I have been taking Vasotec for my HTN for 14 months but pressure recently was becoming unstable on that alone. My PCP prescribed Inderal 60 mg because I also suffer from migraines primarily during periods that are debilitating. He told me to take it at night due to it causing fatigue however it COMPLETELY knocked me out. My family had a very difficult time waking me and I basically become a zombie after taking it. I am freezing cold wherever I go. I feel like a shell of the person I used to be. I don't feel much ambition for work or my life in general. I have 2 young sons that I need to be available to and I just don't like who I am on this medicine. I am also in a relationship and I don't have any interest in sex or showing emotion.If anyone has suggestions for me I would GREATLY appreciate it."

This describes me PERFECTLY. I think it's time for my dosage to be lowered. While most of you see me on weekends and at night, that is when I am at my best, and you would never be able to tell that the description above is how I feel about 90 percent of the time.

I can't stay awake, EVEN ON INTERVIEWS. I can't wake up in the morning, and I have NO desire to do my work. At all. I'm constantly freezing. I can't take this anymore.

The reference to feeling like a shell of a person is entirely accurate. But even moreso, I feel like I am on tranquilizers -- ones that not only knock me on my ass physically, but take away any desire I have for anything on an emotional level.

Normally, I'd be okay with this, but it is impeding on my ability to do my work, and my work ethic always has been the only redeeming quality about me.
