started parnate on wednesday, finally took my first full dose today.
full dose for deli = 1/3 recommended clinical dose.

it's crazy how much of a normal person i feel like again. i was still a mess last night (i get more & more down as the day progresses, usually an energy/inertia thing) but i was up at 8am this morning. had breakfast, have done the dishes, about to put a load of clothes into the machine. it's 9am now. i've accomplished more in this past hour than i have over the course of the week. i know it's still going to be a while before i'm feeling 100%, or even 70%, but that little 'kick' that most people can take for granted has come back, and it feels wonderful and weird and bizarre.

just posting here because a) you guys are better at remembering these things than i am, but at least next time you'll have evidence to bully me back on these meds and b) because impy likes to tell me he told me so, and who am i to deny him this simple pleasure .

pdoc is going to be as pleased as punch. i cant wait to see him on thursday to let him know. even though he knows it works for me, it's always a little bit amazing to see it work this quickly and dramatically. yayayay so happy .
