In reply to Trivestal Retard: Day 1., posted by Mishal on November 7, 2007, at 5:46:38
Second day on Trivastal Retard. 50mg
I took my second dose as usual at dinner. Interestingly after an hour or so, I found it little stimulating. The intensity of irritability and gastrointestinal problems has lessened. Good sign. This is an indicative of them going to cease upon repeated administration.
But I felt aroused. It was difficult to determine whether I can sleep well in this alerted state. I took my Ativan 2mg (awkwardness!!) and slept well.
I regret taking Ativan. Not because I am a benzophobic. In fact, benzos are the cleanest drugs for me to come off without any trouble. Let it be Xanax, Klonopin or Ativan, I never had a problem to withdraw. But what I hate in benzos is their effect in cognition department. They dull my emotions.
By the way, I woke up a little earlier today. (Early morning awakening?) But it could not be an indicative of depression, because even after sleeping less than usual, I feel refreshed. I am awake and didn’t feel like having coffee or Pepsi. In a wide awake state, why should I caffeinate me again?
Provigil is there in my cabinet. Not surprisingly, I didn’t feel like taking it. But it is the only med which I liked most, so I took half a pill simply not to loose touch with it. It took more than a month for me to adjust to this drug. So, I am afraid if I skip a day or two, I will have to go through the same pattern again to reach where I am now.
After all Trivastal seems to be a very promising drug for me. No side effects so far though it is little bit earlier to accentuate it right now. This is my second day on the med. I think still there are more benefits to reap from this molecule as time passes. For the maximum benefits, I think I will have to wait for many weeks.
Calming, alerting, motivating... Trivastal is undeniably unique. That’s the story so far. I will keep you updated.
