Exhausted!!!! Possibly the new meds?

[jaldopix]

Any thoughts on whether or not "blood pressure meds" might cause someone to be supremely exhausted all the time while on them? The Doc advised that they have a relatively short shelf life and would be out of my system early the next morning [if taken just before bed] and are not supposed to cause any sedative-like reactions. They've been helping

I have no idea if exhaustion could be a side effect of the meds, but it'd be a good idea to ask your doctor.

I really wish you could become more aware of how much negative self-talk you feed yourself, and slowly start turning that around. It's not getting you anywhere, you know? I used to wrestle with it a lot more, and I had the mistaken notion that I have to talk down to myself lest I get "too comfortable" or "too confident" and end up, well, relaxing, and heaven forbid doing something "stupid" that makes me vulnerable to someone ELSE'S criticism. But really - does it help you avoid failure or embarrassment? No, it actually brings more of it on. It makes you hyper-aware of yourself to the point where you can barely be comfortable in your own skin even when you're completely alone. Not productive. It takes a long time to turn that around (and I still have my days) but it's worth the effort.
