Pillowgirl,

I just finished my first week. You are right, you definately know! I was wondering how long it took before the positive effects really started happening. I can tell some right off the bat but others are more ambiguous. Like I think I actually have more energy, but I no longer use stress as a stimulant because I am no longer stressed out. So maybe I am just noticing when I am sleepy more, but it seems like I have been a bit drowsy. I dont know if that makes sense. It is a very powerful drug though and I appreciate that my body probably is not fully adjusted. Just wondering what your thoughts were. I had nasusea the first and second night I took it but no vomiting and no aches. I had headaces the next day but nothing too severe and they have gone away. I have had a HUGE reduction in cataplexy! There are things that I am now realizing were cataplexy simply because they dont happen anymore and my brain says "huh? aren't I supposed to get all wobbley when my boyfriend sneaks up on me and scares me? Why arent I all weak when I laugh..." ect. I never knew how much it effected me until it didnt! kind of a "dont know what you've got until its gone" thing, but I will never miss it!
