Starting out

Day 1 - 2 days ago (~79.9kg): Had no noticeable side effects etc. Took first dose of Cymbalta 30mg at about 11:00 and the Effexor 37.5mg mid afternoon. ~15mins walk in the evening.

Day 2 - Yesterday (~79.5kg): Woke up fine but 10 mins later had a short attack of palpitations, shaky, weak arms atc. Fortunately it faded within minutes. C30+E37.5 and a Calmanervin together with my Aroma coffee and croissant @work. Edgy for most of the day. I expect that I will have some reaction to the fact that I'm reducing the Effexor. Walked 15 mins in the evening. Felt great putting the music on high and enjoying the cool evening. Hope I'll be able to keep it up once it gets hotter in the evening.

Day 3 - Today (78.9kg - yay, back into the 78's): Reasonable early morning. Random anger levels slightly raised but controlled when I realised what was happening. Meds: C30, E37.5 augmented by Aroma c&c. Must get my act together today to organise for Shavuot.
