Level II

I have been feeling pretty good for the last several days, so I decided to go down to 5 mg today.

I've been taking the green barley stuff and omega-3 almost every day.

Going back to work has been good. I received a warm welcome, I feel like I'm accomplishing something, and I'm getting PAID! Work is a great distraction from depression.

The only problem is that I'm not drinking enough water. Need to do better with that.

End of week 2: Less Apathy

So far the 2 changes that I have made are: sleeping no more than 8 hours per night and decreasing my dosage by 25%. I feel pretty good overall. I had one day of huge abnormal sweating, a few days of less severe sweating, and several days of scary headaches. These reactions are quite common for people who reduce their dosage. My mood is good. My dreams are normal. I feel less apathetic for some reason -- somewhat more willing to get stuff done around the house. I still prefer to not actually leave the house though. ;)

Many sites list Omega-3 as a good supplement to use against the withdrawal side-effects, so I'll refill my stocks of that today. I'm also going to get me some greens. I'll start taking some of this stuff today.

I want to get through a few good days in a row (no headaches or sweating) before reducing again, so I'm going to wait until later in the week to do it. Another thing to deal with -- I'm starting my job again tomorrow. Part-time only, so that's good. But another good reason to put off reducing my dosage for a few more days.

Feeling Fine.

One week into 7.5 mg, and everything is fine. On to the 2nd week.
