well, i missed the dose for a couple days again, and i think i was experiencing some bad withdrawal symptoms: feeling anxious and depressed.
now, i've taken my tiny dose (5-10 mg maybe), and i feel a bit spacey and solitary from my visiting family here, but much calmer.
i wonder how much of the spaceyness is just me being introverted and overthinking about this stuff...possibly a placebo effect???
but also the stuff makes me sleepy. i read that serotonin is a precursor to melatonin and that's why 5-htp and drugs like paxil cause sleepiness...
is there an anti-melatonin? caffeine?
