Mid – Dec 36mg – no noticeable side effects

– increased focus for longer period of time

3rd week of Dec 54mg – some improvement in focus, felt relaxed which was not noticeable before

– longer periods of focus and improved concentrated

– still experiencing anger, outbursts but lower levels of frustration

– Christmas period is very stressful for me

3rd week of Jan – anticipate increase in dosage

Overall experience – limited or no side effects

– sleep has been lest restful probably due to later nights during holidays

– the increase in focus, concentration and energy are all good

– don’t feel as disconnected in social situations

– less mental fatigue at end of day

– still anger and outbursts at times

Actually looking forward to 2012 and I am pretty optimistic, new for me
