Two days later and it seems to be doing very little, so maybe the Memantine is causing akathisia (I'm not particularly anxious, but I am quite jittery and internally restless, and I also feel like I'm gently biting on my tongue a lot of the time).

It seems you are no stranger to akathisia. So you know what torture is then. So do I. Wish I could go back in time and never take anything they gave me.

> LouLou, could you explain the "Sun of righteousness" in a way that makes it just as much consistant with Judaism as it is with paganism?
