No I'm not crazy. (Well, who isn't) But not in that sense. Have you ever been to Fremont Street? It's in downtown Las Vegas, and it's the coolest place I've ever been to. I have stayed on the strip in the Luxor (pyramid)casino and walked the strip and it just doesn't compare to Fremont street. There is a light show with music every hour, the street is closed off to drivers, and all the casinos down there have better odds and cheaper food. I ate the Graveyard special new york steak, eggs, toast, hash browns for $2.99 about 4 nights in a row. The casino I stayed at had 2-deck blackjack and the one next door 1-deck!Anyway, if you've been to the "Fremont Street Experience" you would understand why I was dancing. Only a few people do it though, and circles tend to gather. My friends were around me encouraging my singing for money, but that was later at night, just having fun.
... SpreadDaAloha thanks for your info. I should look it up and see if it makes any difference. I was led to believing this because when I was on Effexor XR, my doc indicated that if I feel depressed/apathetic at a later point in the day to take another 37.5 mg, and I did notice a difference. ... upon looking it up now, I see that the half-life of Effexor is about 5 hours and Zoloft is about 26, so you're right about that, an afternoon dosage shouldn't matter. I wonder if it has something to do with what I took the day/night before? Lamictal has a half-life anywhere from 12 to about 25 hours, averaging about 15 hours if you're on other meds. (Except meds that increase the effect; valproic acid) I take Lamictal twice a day as indicated, so it doesn't seem as if it would have anything to do with that. Klonopin's half-life is "19 to 50" hours with the onset of action lasting about 8-12 hours in adults. I guess I'll just have to take it slowly, changing one thing at a time. It's so frustrating when you are trying to desperately fix a problem that inhibits your life. Sorry for the superfluous post, hope someone benefited from the info. Thx all.
Take care,
