Yes – SR. I’m now 2 hours into 2nd dose. Feel ok, but will have to monitor a bit more closely. I am getting things done at work so far, but I’m not going to be home until about 8 or 9pm, which will be right at that 6 hour mark again… This is complicated eh? I certainly don’t want to feel like I can’t plan things for when I don’t have meds in me…. Hmm, relax – monitor for now, report to doc on Nov 7th and work on a plan from there.
My doc said 3-8 hours was expected time frame. Quite a range! I still don’t know that it’s enough of a difference. I know it sounds funny, but I kind of want to know what too high a dosage feels like so that at least I get a sense of what this is and isn’t supposed to do. I don’t currently feel like I’m on anything at all, but it’s that shift to sleepiness at the 6 hour mark that is telling me something. I’ll keep monitoring and we’ll see how it goes! So far appetite is normal, no nausea, really not much of anything except that I have a minor shift in concentration/focus level which has aided my work productivity.
I do feel pretty good that I’m finally worrying about medication dosages and coping mechanisms though. Looking forward now instead of reliving my past all the time! New beginnings!
