day 12 - 2003.11.22 - 60mg - fell asleep about 3:30am on 10mg ambien - woke 8:00am > made myself stay in bed and sleep off and on till 10:30am - missed work - tired & unmotivated all day - disappointed - thought after getting some sleep I would feel pretty good > but instead having worst day in last 6
day 11 - 2003.11.21 - 60mg - didn’t fall asleep till about 2:30am last night even though I took 20mg ambien - woke 7:30am > at work by 8:30am - felt good even though I was tired > went thru parnate quick and ran out of gas by noon > stayed till 4:30pm - took 10mg when i got home for 60mg total - each day w/o klonopin is feeling better - i think once im thru w/ klonopin w/d and start to get some sleep i am going to feel good
day 10 - 2003.11.20 - 50mg - didn’t fall asleep until 3:00am last night even though I took 20mg ambien - woke 7:00am - I think this is mostly due to klonopin w/d and not parnate - felt better than yesterday but due to lack of sleep not great - made it to work by 10:30am but ran out of gas at 3:00pm > stayed till 5:00pm
day 09 - 2003.11.19 - 50mg - dropped klonopin completely last night - had to take 20mg ambien again to sleep - unmotivated - getting tired late in day > feeling just like coming off dexedrine in evening w/ blurry eyesight - emailed pdoc > he says im going up to fast > but upped my next script to 60mg/ day per my request - not feeling quite as good today only b/c lack of motivation is begining to get old - i have got a lot of work to do and just don't feel like working > im writing this at 4:15pm and havent gone into work yet
day 08 - 2003.11.18 - 50mg - dropped to .25 klonopin last night - had to take 20mg ambien to get to sleep - felt the need to take 50mg parnate today - not very motivated today but feeling fine - didn't get to work unitl 3:00pm but stayed till 7:30pm
day 07 - 2003.11.17 - 40mg - made it back to work today - had good energy until 5:00pm > ran completely out of gas - felt like I needed to take 50mg - still feeling as good as I ever did on lexapro
day 06 - 2003.11.16 - 40mg - no tired spells at all today - already feeling as good as I ever did on lexapro - thinking about dropping the .5 klonopin for sleep and go to 10mg ambien - sleeping restlessly
day 05 - 2003.11.15 - 30mg - not nearly as tired today - dropped from .75mg to .5mg klonopin last night - mood up again slightly
day 04 - 2003.11.14 - 20mg - less tired each passing day - still unmotivated - missed work - slight increase in mood
day 03 - 2003.11.13 - 18mg - woke 8:30am - tired but not as tired as yesterday - I think tiredness due to w/d from dexedrine and not parnate - mood not improved - missed work - totally unmotivated - at end of day slight mood increase
day 02 - 2003.11.12 - 17mg - woke 10am - been tired all day - mood not improved - missed work - totally unmotivated
day 01 - 2003.11.11 - 15mg - to start today - took @ 15mg - just a feeling of tightness in brain - but did not miss dexedrine
