i hope there has been some improvement.

Dear Waves,

Thanks.

My mdoc appointment is sometime in January so I do not have the 100 mgs pills yet.
I am taking about a third to a half of a 300 mgs pill: perhaps 100-150 mgs.

Fogginess -- has improved now that I am down to this low dose
Depression -- helped within the first month of taking it
Anxiety -- lessoned almost immediately when I started it
If going up beyond the low dose does improve the anxiety issue any more -- it does at the huge cost of fogginess.
Nerve pain -- no help I think. Pdoc said that I would need to be at 400 - 600 mgs for a month. I was up to 600 mgs for 10 days.

Being out in the sun three times in the last seven days has helped with depression, anxiety, and energy levels. . . .so it is hard to respond to your questions with regard to time line.

. . . if you asked me your questions two weeks ago I might have answered differently. Today, I feel sleepy but good.
