And like treehouse I sometimes wonder if my brain chemistry is 'reset' and I could do without it now. But I'm in no hurry to test that. You can expect a few days to two weeks of feeling anxious or over energetic in some way. But that will most likely pass as your system gets used to the stuff. Unlike other ADs I tried, this one does not dull my emotions. It seems to simply raise my baseline mood to something tolerable. I still have my down times, but they last a few days, not months on end, and are never as dark as the depths I lived in for so many years. I hope it works as well for you

thanks guys!
i took it this morning at 8 along with .5mg xanax. it is now 10:52 and so far so good... first thing i noticed was all the chatter in my head went away- my mind was actually quiet.
i might add that my 7-year non-existent libido (8 years of SSRIs KILLED my libido and my metabolism) kicked in within an hour and a half of taking this drug-- hubby is happy i was quite surprised...
first thing i wanted to do when i got up was to go clean the back yard, so it must be doing something good. my OCD is quiet (i count CONSTANTLY in my head- it's gone at least for now)
i hope it stays this good...
thanks for the advice and support, yall, it helps tremendously!
