I found out from my doctor that the lack of stamina is realated to the meds in a way. Since I was medicated for a year and have only been off of them a short time, my body is readjusting and relearning how to deal with all of the little stresses of life again. And in doing so my physical reserves get drained much quicker than I'm used to. So I'm hoping that when this happens (timetable-who knows?) that I'll get some physical stamina back again.

Something else related to this issue, and that is driving me nuts, is my startle reflex. It's like someone put the setting on super sensitive. My husband walks behind me and touches me, I jump. Someone opens a door unexpectedly, I jump. Something is dropped on the floor, I about come out of my skin. For the year I was on the klonopin I never dealt with this. Now it feels like my body is making up for lost time.

I'm hoping both of these issues resolve themselves quickly...especially the twitching and jumping. I've gotten so tired of them that when I jump now, I usually follow it up with nifty swear word.
