| |  "Interesting effect/changing dose at 4 months"
, Fri 19 Mar 23:00
I've had to reduce my SJW very quickly recently. I think it's interesting because I finally had a day where I realized that my depression/anxiety stemmed, at this point, from trying to get un-depressed so I could get my life back. Once I realized this and quit trying to be perky constantly, I felt much better. I suppose I was trying so hard I was hardly in touch with what I was really feeling anymore. In any case, I have quickly dropped from 2 down to 1 300mg a day of Perika, and I think I need to stop the entire dose. I felt very good when I got up this morning, having not had the crazy intense deep sleep of late. But when I took the first SJW pill, I got VERY unexplainably enraged and stayed that way from 11 til about 5, when I got nauseated and headachy. I think that's because I don't feel it's necessary. My point is, be careful when you're differentiating between depression and regular sadness/anger, etc. I'm definitely not discounting clinical depression, especially since I have been diagnosed as such, but just remember that it's easy to forget you CAN get better... especially with modern psychologists, but that's another story.
Also, the body aches I reported earlier are gone with the lower dose. Anxiety also decreased. Hoping the mood lability will go away too. And I'll post about a month after it's all cleared from my system to report on if I need to go back on it.
Good luck everyone!
