I felt bad within the first few days.

I have bipolar disorder so, that might make a difference. I didn't tell my doctor what was going on (usually at that point I decide my doctor is out to get me...) And I pretty much live on the borders of reality anyway, I've got some strange ideas, beliefs, and thoughts I tell you! So, pushing it just a bit further to a few hallucination like experiences is not that hard especially if I'm not sleeping or eating, which I wasn't. If I wanted to, I'd skip a few meals, a nights sleep and be listening to my brain think out loud by Sunday afternoon.

Perhaps it was just that the insomnia and lack of appetite got slightly better.
