Hi new-guy topher – you sound gear-heady cool :) I write too-long posts also, so don’t feel bad. I’m a recovering wall of text-er myself!

Have you tried long acting meds at all? It takes some of the micro management out of the whole process which is better, but you still have to figure out how it’s deciding to dose you through the day – depending on food, water, caffeine, what time you take it, dosage, etc.

I just figured out the too high dose thing – it’s counter intuitive ’cause you start to feel blah and it seems like it’s wearing off – but it’s actually peaking too high! I just realized eating lunch really helps that mid-day overpeaking thing. (Eating lunch??? what a crazy concept!)

space space space space :)
