5 days in

Well, it's been 5 days since I took the first Amitryptaline tablet. I still have headaches......and I'm now also hungry and tired all the time too. I can't decide whether I'm more hungry or sleepy - how does that work? I feel like eating until I'm sick, and then still pigging out! I eat and eat and eat, and my body still tells me it's starving. What. The. Hell? Though the strangest thing I've encountered is during this feeding frenzy, I have determined I also have the capability to fall asleep. Waking up to realise you've basically face planted onto the chocolate bar you were eating about an hour earlier is just plain peculiar. I have now realised that soup is probably a bad idea. Though this thought process took a while to get through the marshmellow that is currently clouding my brain.

This is the expression I currently have-

minus blood of course

The Amitriptyline is ensuring I have plenty of sleep (as it can be used to treat insomnia) , the only problem is, my body doesn't realise this. It's like having a general anaesthetic; you fall asleep and seemingly automatically wake up again exhausted with an air of confusion. You don't dream. It's as though you don't fall deep enough to dream. Strangely, it also affects how much you day dream too, which I don't like. I miss my day dreams. I miss my dreams. I find myself wondering if Amitriptyline has this affect on other people too, or if I'm the only one having these things stolen from me. Ironically, I feel in a dissociative state most of the time now, I could probably stare at a wall for hours on end and not realise I'd done it until someone woke me from the stupor....or I fell asleep.
