Hi Matt,
> I have a question for you. I think you posted before that you got daytime sleepiness, but that changed later on, as you had taken the drug for longer. So, this SE subsided for you? How long did it take?
>
It's definitely not as severe as it was in the beginning, but again, I'm wondering if that was from bad reactions with food. Right now, my sleep schedule is really weird. I'll have crazy insomnia for maybe 2 nights (that's why I've become addicted to this board recently!), and I'll be fine in the day off of 2-3 hours sleep. Then it'll hit me after a few days- for several days I'll need afternoon power naps and then still sleep like a baby for 8-9 hours at night. I'm on a cycle for sure, just not a 24 hour one!
> and life has a "crispness" to it. I jump out of bed early now and get going.Yes, it's wonderful to feel that way again!
I don't want to fall asleep with a drill in someone's mouth!
Yeah, try hard not to do that.

> Oh, one more thing, sometimes I forget to take my Klonopin now, and feel like I need less. I don't know what to make of this, other than perhaps my overall anxiety is lowered? Thanks for reading and responding!

That's good news. Isn't it less addictive when you don't take it on a regular schedule? I hope that means that only a tiny bit will help me a lot. I'm a philosophy major, so I'm really afraid of losing any of these "mind-clarifying effects," as you say. I *need* to feel like I sound intelligent and coherent in class (but maybe this is a separate therapy issue). :)I'll be away for a few days, but maybe after that we can share some CBT stuff. I'm sure I'll need to after visiting family.
When do you go back to dental school? Talk to you later.
Chris
P.S. I'm posting another question below, so have a peek at that, too, if you don't mind.
