 Met and Hops
My first week on Met I would drag myself out of bed, literally. I felt like my whole body with being weighed down with stones. I was moody, irritable, I couldn't concentrate in class and had a hard time with the course-work which just made it worse. I was constantly tired and all I wanted to do, ever, was sleep.
I figured this depression had to do with the met but didn't want to stop it.
My mom, seeing my sorry state, gave me Regeon. A herbal sedative marketed in Israel containing passion flower extract, traces of other things, but most importantly ... hops.
Yes Hops, the stuff they put in beer to make it flavorful (I think), apparently has some natural relaxing properties which work wonders on this particular nasty side effect.
I'm going to continue taking it, and at one point (after finals) shall go consult my lovely physician and get some blood tests done to see if it's affected anything else.
But I've lost about 3 kilo's in one month without exercising (no time, shall after finals) and my sugar cravings are completely gone. I feel like I have control of my appetite again instead of it controlling me. Which is very nice. So I don't think it significantly hampers the met's work, if at all. |
