Willyee, do you take parnate on a regular schedule, ie the same number of pills, at similar times each day?
Or do you take them based on a feeling of what you might need, and then take more if it doesn't seem to help?
Getting a steadystate of the drug, more or less, and sticking with that might smoothe out some of the jaggedness. Also, it might keep you from over-interrogation of your reactions.I won't say there aren't ebbs and flows, or immediate reactions, to parnate's presence. But it's pretty hard to calculate that--esp. by intuition, or ebbs and flows of mood, energy, tension, etc.
Many things can cause you to think something's helping at a moment (or not).. But "real" life, or "normal" problems aren't separate from neuropsychological or "abnormal" problems.
They're more two approaches to or descriptions of the same things--or ways of saying "these reactions bother me a lot; while these reactions don't as much"--but the reactions (or patterns of reaction) may be intertwined..
It would freak me out if I kept wondering how I was reacting to a drug--the question itself raises doubts and fears-- by its very nature, the question responds to and triggers more doubt and anxiety--. maybe just practice telling yourself, they are working, even if you can't quite put your finger on it, rather than wondering so much.
