Okay guys, I feel like I am on an acid trip. Seriously, not bragging here. However, I am a bit worried at times. There is not a label on the side of my bottle of meds warning me of being drowsey or anything. You know, some meds have that. Therefore, if you take yr meds and you drive, get in a wreck and are cited, you can get a DUI or DWI. I have had a DWI. It is not fun.
Here is a recent update on my 100mg:
I started on the 100mg on Thursday. I am taking 3 25mg at night and 1 25 in the morn. I took my three about 8:00 pm that night. Went to bed about 9:45. I co-sleep with my 2 yr old. Laughed hysterically when we went to sleep that night. Had to get up to go pee and felt drunk. I drove into work the next. I took my 7 year old into work with me (she was out of school). I have no idea how I made it in. I was blitzed. I felt like I was on acid. I have taken acid several times. I honestly felt unsafe.
Still had the spider web on the nose feeling. Had to go in. I am completely out of sick time and vacation time. I think I am in the red. I would feel okay at home, you know?? I feel okay right now. Have numbness in lower extremities. Loss of appetite. Overall, complete sense of calm. I do have that sense of "out of sorts".
I am enjoying a glass of wine.
I truly recommend, if you work, upping your dose on a Friday evening when a spouse/partner/relative is home. Especially when you have never tripped before.
