well this is going to be interesting

Yeah, this is not fun.

Physically I feel like I've had too much coffee. I'm still mentally foggy and not terribly alert, but that physical slight shakiness/twitchiness you get from caffeine? I've got it and I've not had anything caffeinated since yesterday lunch.

I woke up every 2 hours all night, switching to every 1 as morning approached. I'm also even clumsier than usual - a rather spectacular fall over the bunnygate this morning is going to leave one hell of a bruise.

I also find my attention drifting oddly - switching between hyper-focused (I almost missed my stop because I was engrossed in a book that I'd read before) and awfully vague (I had to be reminded that the light was green and I could cross the street because I was looking at the reflections in the windows of the building down the street.

This is my brain not on drugs. Any questions?
Only a couple more days....

One thing you can hold on to ... It is temporary. You know that once you've weaned yourself off the current/old and are fully clear of it, you can start with something that should help you more than the old was doing. So, the light at the end of the tunnel really should be the end, and not a train heading your way. :)

That's pretty much my attitude - yes I feel like poop now, but I know when it will end (and if it really does get too bad I *could* go back on the old med anytime I want). So I know that I'm the one calling the shots on this. Helps immensely.

Thanks!
