Hello all!! I am now in my 3rd week out of the hospital treatment for severe depression and I am doing ok. I am taking Effexor XR, Clonazepam, Lisinopril for blood pressure, and Lyrica for nerve pain. My mood seems to have changed quite a bit, I am a lot more "low key" or relaxed. My head still runs wild a lot with different thoughts about all kinds of stuff, good and bad, thats one thing I don't understand, shouldn't that get better? I do have terrible insomnia, and constant yawning..............will these go away??? I have also lost my appetite, I only eat super at night and thats it! I lost about 25 pounds in the past 4 weeks, is this normal? I thought the medication makes you gain weight? I have not been back to work yet, planning on going back next thursday to ease into it. Thanksfor reading, and any feedback would be great!!!
