Elizabeth,
The brand I bought is from Nature's Resource. At first, I thought that maybe I should make sure I use one that has received a good rating but why mess with success? I also like the fact that they are in 150mg capsules because of my extreme sensitivity to meds.
The effect wasn't as dramatic today but I thought that might happen so I wasn't disappointed. Because I felt so good, I didn't take it with my morning Adderall Dose but I sure felt the effects of not taking it mid morning. A little scary but heck, I got off Effexor so how much worse can it be if things don't go well?
I am wondering if I responded quickly because the Prozac has only been completely out of my system since May 17? But I swear I remember responding quickly to Paxil when I hadn't been taking AD's so I strongly believe in the John L theory that there are medications that people can respond quickly to.
Anyway, motivation continues to be excellent. While surfing the web, I have been cleaning my apartment without effort which hasn't happened in quite awhile. It's almost like I don't know what to do with this new brain and I fear there will be a poopout just like there was when the Prozac and Adderall were working so well and then quit after my period started.
About my symptoms, that's tough to answer but let me take a shot. When I am depressed, if I haven't slept, I feel lousy all day. Eating is pretty normal with a slight excess. It doesn't get too out of hand because due to having ativan being prescribed on a PRN Basis when I had the monthly agiation, it will stop my mood from sliding momentarily. If I haven't slept, I think I feel better in the morning with my mood worsening during the day. It might be good to keep a journal when this happens.
Elizabeth, thanks again, I have learned so much from you.
Shirley
