Yesterday I started taking only 5mg each day.

The first side effect I felt was an anxiety attack while I was at work! it was a very rare feeling, I felt like something was going to happened, I felt nervous for none reason, my heart was pitting very fast and I couldn’t stay still.
During my lunch it got worse because I was not able to eat. I tried to eat something, but then I felt something on my stomach (the feeling you get before you’re going to vomited) and I decided to stop eating… I was not really hungry after all. But I needed to do something about the anxiety so I thought about going to the pharmacy and ask for a pill for the anxiety (I actually have a prescription my doctor gave me in case I got some side effect like anxiety or insomnia), the pharmacy is a little bit far from my working place, so I had to walk for a while.

my boyfriend and I had or first real fight last Sunday.

Let me tell you the story from the beginning; on Saturday I had to get up early to go to work, just like during the week… and as you have read, I’ve being suffering of insomnia lately so I was not happy on getting up early during the weekend… anyways, after work we went to my parents house to have lunch and after that we came back to my place to watch some t.v. and later on we left to his place to eat and watch some CSI episode (yep he likes CSI too.,) everything sounds good, right?

I’m still lowering the dose of Paxil, on the 23 I will go down to 5mg every day.

It is not an easy situation, especially when the lowering starts to affect your personality by making you more sensitive and easy to get angry… I have been having some insomnia, perhaps I should buy some sleeping pills, because without my sleep I can’t have a good mood and that affects the people around me.

I have made enough damage to the people around me already…

Besides the insomnia and mood swings, I feeling better than the last time I wrote (I was seeing the light and everything hahaha) I’m not having stomach problems anymore, which is good, I guess.

Due to the insomnia, I’m very tired lately… it’s not that I do not sleep it just the quality of my sleep is not very good.

Sometimes I feel dizzy but I take something for the dizziness and I’m back to normal

Until now we don’t have any person with the swine flu, we are still waiting for result from 4 possibles patients. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepare for it; that’s why the Government gave 5 millions dollars to take care of  the situation with the Swine Flu.

One person from Peru had a stop here in panama this week, and when she arrived to Peru, they found out she had the swine flu.  According to Representatives from the airport she stop in Panama, but she took her next plane right away.

Anyways, the people working at the airport are wearing masks to protect themselves, and people from the ministry of Health are giving pamphlets with the symptoms of the Swine flu and easy ways to protect yourself from the flu.
