I think it helped, though I think it might be useful for me to track things weekly for a bit. It's pretty easy to get that data into Excel. I just copied it into Word, used the convert feature to make it a table, and then exported that to Excel. I've had to become pretty good with tables and spreadsheets because I really need info very structured in order to be able to process it with my ADHD brain.

That's true. And whenever I decrease Nardil, I do get more depressed. I don't know quite if that's because the med really is working or if it's some other withdrawal effect. I tend to suspect it's because it actually is working to some extent. Side effects only get annoying at 60mg, although I have excessive sweating at pretty much any dose. That is getting very very old, and of course was a bigger problem this summer. But I really hate dripping with even the smallest exertion.

Thanks for thinking through this with me. Still in the process of deciding. Of course that could wind up a decision all by itself if I'm still deciding by the time the 20th rolls around.
