Day one wasn’t too bad – it seemed like I could function as normally as I did when I was taking the medication.

Today (Day two) is proving to be much more difficult. It started out okay when I was able to act on a plan I had established the previous day, but that lasted all of 30 minutes. Now I can’t seem to get started on anything new (or unfinished tasks from weeks ago) and I am very irritated at myself because of it.

I’ve tried a lot of different medications in different combinations. The problem is that my biology is very sensitive to these things. I can handle a little bit, which doesn’t offer very much relief, but when we up the dosage, the side effects kick in and I get irritable, stressed, etc.
