[JENN5]

just got back from a walk with my son (lol my dog) it's COLD outside but sure felt good.  So happy I have the energy and did it.  Felt great.  Finally I feel like I"m doing good.  I think I found the right dose.  Thanks everyone who kept cheering me on :)

Thank you!

I started at 16mg and went down by 2mg a week.

Report back - and so glad you're feeling good!

[JENN5]

Oh stay safe!!!  I see the doc at 2pm today so I hope to get more info today....How long do you usually taper?

[Gobig]

Good to see you're doing well - it was the dose - and once you're on the right dose, it's great!!  I'm in socal - and the fires are sad and scary.  Though I'm lucky - besides a little ash on the cars, and some bad air, I'm away from the fires as well.

Did the doc give you any clue as to when you'll start to taper?

[JENN5]

So far so good at work - but I've been online haven't done much actual 'work' ;)  But that's ok I plan on taking it easy today and tomorrow.  But I still feel really good.  Have a great day guys.

[JENN5]

Hey :)  I'm glad you are doing good!  Yes it's great to wake up feeling awake for once.  I think I finally got the right dose.  In the am I take 8mg (4 and then 4 right after).  Then I'm ok til about 5.  Then I take 4mg.  I'm not sure if that's it or not I started to feel antsy last night but went to bed without trying 2 more.  So I think I'm at 12mg.

Well as I sit here with the sub under my tounge I am feeling pretty good. Just getting ready to start my day and get things accomplished that I have put off for awhile. Kids are getting ready for school. Even made them hot oatmeal for them :)

Hows work going so far??

i've been thinking about you and i'm glad that you posted .. been busy to where i wasn't on much yesterday or the nite before .. i'm so HAPPY to hear you are feeling better!!!!  that is such great news!!!!  so, you think you found the right dosage?  what was it?

isn't it a great feeling to be able to get up in the morning w/out having to take a handful of pills before you can even get out of bed?  that wz the best for me .. it would take me hours to 'wake' up - had to let em kick in first and blah blah blah ... anyways, just wanted to say 'hi' .. if you need anything or have any questions, let me know ... have an awesome day!!!! peace!

[JENN5]

So far so good today :)  Woke up early, showered, and at a big breakfast.  (just got a bottle water now too after reading your reminder).  Yes my family, boyfriend, boss all said I look better and are noticing changes :)  I'm so happy for that.  First time at work not ready to fall back asleep at my desk.  It's a short day too cuz I go back to the doctor so I hope that goes well or at least ok.  I'm so happy your away from the fires!  Prayers to those people.  Oh and my 'son' sorry - I was joking - kind of haha - it's really my dog who is like my son ;)  How is today going for you?

[FinallyFreeNCali]

I think you wil be fine at work. In fact you will be amazed that when you keep busy you feel better. I love being my old self again. So does my family. However today was crazy my kids and there friends all came over an drove me nuts.. oh well... :)

How old is your son? Has anyone said anything to you, like "Man you seem very happy"?
My friends all smile at me now an say its nice to have me back! I was also able to make ammends with an old friend and we went shopping like we use too..

Forgot to add that I spent 3 hours yesterday decorating my house for halloween. It felt great!!

Just keep very busy an stay away from the things you did while on the beast, Oh don't forget drink lots of fluid!!! It helps a great deal!!

P.S. I am in northern cali far away from the fires. I pray that they go out soon and for the families who lost everything.Now amagin trying to detox and go threw that. I find myself lucky. God Bless those in southern Cali

It sure is amazing :)  It's day 3 for me too!  How did you guys fix your cravings?  I think I found my 'dose' that's why I am good.  I think its at 12 mg I'll see after doing the same tomorrow and going to the doc appt.  Nervous to start work but at least I only have to work 9-2 cuz of the appt then it's friday then the weekend :)  I didn't do anything much besides the walk been watching tv taking it easy.  Think sat I will try to do something like laundry clean etc and see how it goes.  Oh and I know I also slept soo good and better yet woke up normal - not dragging to the couch not moving til I take pills.  It's an amazing feeling waking up!  Are you safe from the fires?

[FinallyFreeNCali]
