Default day one
It is 9:00 AM and I am twelve hours in, having started with a 7.5 mg dose last night. Observations to date:
1) Stayed up until midnight as usual but went to bed without my "normal" level of symptoms. Was in pretty good shape, actually. Rare for me but not at all unheard of.
2) Slept very well. One trip to the loo which I consider a pretty good night.
3) Up at 7:30 AM and seemed better than usual by about a 25% factor for function.
4) Am holding to my regular meds. Turned "on" in the usual 45 min to 1 hour for me. Seem normal response in other aspects
5) I notice that I am unusually handsome today.
