one more piece of naval-gazing analysis...i DON"T get the shakes when i wake up at 12, 2, 4 and 6...just when i wake up around 7 or 8 for the last time...so it's certainly possible the shakes were mostly driven by my dread of the side effects of the lexapro. they were barely noticeable today.
my dread of the side effects of lexapro has been replaced by my dread of the withdrawl symptoms of amatriptaline which manifest as just being tense as heck all day long vs. a 2 minute shake....
there was a great quote from an old mexican movie, look up the translation if you can handle cuss words,*********************

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
