I have wondered about akathisia as the cause for the second reaction. It probably contributed to how I was feeling. I couldn't focus, and I didn't require my normal 9 hours of sleep. It was odd to feel refreshed after 5 hours. Plus my confidence was high, something I usually struggle with. I liked this experience except for the restlessness and scatterbrain I had.
It is hard for me to let go without having concrete answers, especially after I was misdiagnosed based solely on exclusion. I didn't fit the diagnosis and was ignored and accused of seeking attention. It profoundly hurt me.
