For 2 years.
At some point ~2 years ago I started getting migraines. I started dousing them with exedrin. It worked for a while. Then I started to feel dizzy every day.. I felt high.. my head was numb all of the time.. slurred speech. I spent the last 2 years suffering from these things.. not leaving the house because of them. I was afraid to drive because I blacked out or nearly did all of the time. I stopped socializing for at least a year because I was in able to focus or think clearly. It's kind of hard to have a conversation when you feel like your head is floating you know?
I became unemployed before it got too bad because where I worked closed. I was afraid to sleep at night because I was afraid I wasn't going to wake up.. I would lie down and basically hallucinate until I fell asleep.
I thought it was all tied to a head injury that I had as a child.
I think I lost my gf due to this because I spent half a year with my face in a pillow.
A couple days ago I stopped taking excedrin.. I made a thread about it actually. My headache has been gone ever since.. no dizzyness or feeling like I'm high.
So, I'm assuming I became addicted to the excedrin.. I would wake in the morning and since my body didn't have any excedrin I would start to get a headache.. so then I would take excedrin to get rid of it.. A vicious cycle.
Why didn't I think of this sooner? I practically ruined my life because of this.
Now if I could only get my ex back *sigh*
