Hey gg,
> My nerves about this are more self-doubts and the fear of rejection which would come with failure. I'm not sure there is a pill that can help me with that. I'm taking a lot of CBT-related advice, though, with reframing the situation, relaxation, postitive self-talk, and rehearsal.
>Kudos! You're right about there not being a pill for this sort of thing, at least not a silver bullet type pill. I'm sure you'll do extremely well on your competency, sounds like you're doing all the right things to prepare.
> I actually feel pretty competent when I am with my clients. It's just the authority figures "judging" me that triggers all kinds of stuff.
I can totally relate, when I am alone with patients, my hands work beautifully - then the dental faculty with 30 years experience comes around and I all of a sudden develop pseudo-Parkinson's!
> I am planning to go qid as well with my tabs.
I get the feeling that 60 mg is a good trial. And yeah, it's good to space them out.
I really want that ace-like euphoria! Actually, I'd settle for much less. These are stressful times for me.
> Thanks for the advice and support! Hoping you continue to have positive experience as well.
Likewise! Best of luck to you on your exams. Do let me know how they go. Also, let's keep each other informed about this Nardil journey.
Take care,
Matt
