When Inderal Meets Low Carb

I’ve commented before on how disturbing Inderal dreams can be.

Last night I dreamed I was eating in my college dining hall.  I had half an English muffin.  Then I went back for the second half.  Then I had a croissant.  Then a bagel.  Then another croissant.  You know where this is leading, don’t you?

I’m sure the “fat is all in your head” camp will say that this is because I miss these foods.  On the contrary, this was not a dream of desire.  It was a nightmare.  It was like I dreamed I was eating poison.

  1. I still can’t believe it!! What are we all going to watch at night now that there are no more games?!
    I just hope that the parade is on a day that I am not working! I know that no one will want to switch days if they realize that it’s to go to the parade ;-)

  2. Hi, Joanna! I had to choose between the last WS parade and free tickets to the advance screening of The Incredibles. I chose the parade!

  3. I don’t know if you’ve ever smoked, but when you give up, you inevitably have The Smoking Dream a few weeks into your quit. This dream is usually a nightmare of sorts, or at least quite disturbing, where the dreamer wakes up absolutely convinced that they’ve smoked a cigarette, often tasting it, or with a tight chest. Happens to me every time I quit. Sounds like a similar thing. Congrats on sticking so well to your plan, it seems to be reaping benefits for you. I’m seriously considering trying it myself!

  4. Well, as I’ve said before, I take Inderal, but at a much lower dosage than you do, so I can’t say for sure how it’s effected my dreams.

    And having kicked sugar four months ago, I can’t remember any specific dreams…or nightmares…about eating donuts! I am a Former Donut Junkie!
