My dose goes up on Wednesday. Hopefully, the agitation won't get much worse.
I hope to avoid 10 mg. Somnolence and university don't mix.

Today the agitation seems better. Last night, I was suffering. Somehow, I managed to get through it without yelling or breaking anything. I am trying to endure it, especially since I am starting to notice positive effects. Anyway, it isn't causing suicidal feelings and self-harm urges, like another poster mentioned.
