> Hi! I just started taking the stuff last week..today, actually tonight I up the dose to 50 mg. so far i have been sorta zombieish as well ..like you discribed! so i'm a bit nervous about it! So now what!? I have to drive every afternoon ! Usually I'm o.k then...the dr. has me take it at nighttime...but all the time I feel a bit "stupid" and usually I'm a witty, sharp verbose thing! Does the feeling of being doped ever go away....maybe putting up with the bad is worth it to keep the good creative juices going??? what do ya think? I mean I just started the stuff..so who knows! the other stuff we tried made me crazy speedy! I wish I had a garden!! LOL!!!
I think I am going to stick it out. The acid trip feeling only last a couple of days. I find if I force myself to eat a good meal, I can stick it out. This also means get out doors and move about. Stimulate the mind and don't drive. I suggest walking around outside your home, working in the garden, going to the park, etc.

> I was a total vegetable yesterday. I was craving a variety of different foods. I did not want to cook. So unlike me. However, I did not feel safe to drive with the kids. I felt I needed someone to drive me. I laid up in bed with the baby watching movies on the laptop. Took a three hour nap. My husband did manage to drag us out to eat.
