My gosh! Thanks for the responses you guys :).

@Seabassd I’m so glad I asked this question too! I feel so much better after reading what you all have written. It isn’t so scary now. Good luck on your journey!

@Larynxa Thanks for the link. I will check it out after posting. I  drank a few sips of my triple shot cappuccino and threw the rest down the sink. I wasn’t leaping out of my skin this morning , yay! I think I’ll be buying a package of decaff today.

@Chica How have the meds affected your energy levels? Being mostly inattentive, I’m  enjoying the boost. I usually feel slow and foggy at points in the day.

For an update. This is the 3rd day. I´m less speedy, less chatty. I feel really tired when the meds wear down. A little emotional too. My appetite is less but am able to eat pretty well.  I slept poorly the 1st night but better last night.

I find riding my bike through traffic is a lot less stressful. I can see where all the people and traffic are in relationship to myself. Before everything seemed to jump out of nowhere. I can take a deep breath and confidently ride through the streets. Before it was confusing and sometimes scary. I would often feel angry.

I only put the 2 items I needed for dinner in my  basket at the grocer the other night!! Ha ha. I didn’t need to look at everything in the store either.

I feel confident speaking with people at work. Less self conscious, awkward, more receptive. Is this a common effect? Confidence is a good thing right? Or is it maybe too much of a high type thing?

Anyway, I’ll be sticking with my prescribed dose until my next appointment. Hopefully we can work out the kinks then. I think I’d like to try the slow release stuff. Maybe it will be less of a roller coaster. I’ll use these posts to help me with my drug diary.

Thanks for letting me rant and for the wonderful insight!
