Its just random stuff with some swearing, I was shouting Nurse the other night it is hilarious and often I am kind of half awake so can hear it but can't stop it. Not going to read too much into it just let it happen I don't care I'm half asleep.

If I stop posting then I have started sleeping at work and im sure it will be in the local news, man crashes van into tree while shouting swear words 😀.

Apart from the night time shouting, how's it going?

[Maca44]

Ok, anxiety am but work has been great into evening. Sleep is poor but im not tired in the day so must be getting sleep.

[Dying_Swan]

That sounds hopeful. Are you taking the 225 all at once or in split doses? I kind of wonder if a split dose might help with the morning anxiety?

[Maca44]

Doc wouldn't split dose saying it wouldn't help but I think its due to cost of two meds of the same, who knows.

[Dying_Swan]

As far as I know, the immediate release version is much cheaper than XR, so they could have added 75 IR in the evening, although I'm not sure if that would be metabolised too quickly to help with the morning anxiety. Still, you've done well with the once daily dose so far, so fingers crossed

[Maca44]

Almost a week into increased dose and not doing too bad just the usual raised anxiety which I get but I think thats in my head more than the actual med. Feel abit wired again but that went before so early days still. Down to 7.5mg of Mirt for last week but have not noticed any changes so thats going well but I still get the munchies about an hour after taking it.

Got the sleeping thing back where I wake up after a couple of hours wide awake so its back to sitting in summer room stroking cats and drinking milk. Must be Ven increase as this is what happens before so it will fade, cats are getting lots of attention so they are happy.
