I am blow away. When I had to reread your post twice because I thought that I may have written it (and put your name instead of mine).

"Like I think I actually have more energy, but I no longer use stress as a stimulant because I am no longer stressed out."

That is exactly the same thing that I put in one of my posts.

What is your dosage? I am on 4.5 (cc's grams). I mix mine in low sodium V8 'cause I can not take anything tht tastes yucky (though the real deal is remarkably better than the placaebo).

Are you finding a decrease in your appetite? In the am I can barely look at solid food. i have been maying smothies lately and that seems to help.

I wonder if the sleepiness that you feel may actualy be the fact that you are not stressed all of the time. I fell much more relaxed now, something that I pretty much only felt when I was tired. Thoughts?

I do find that I still do get more tired than most people but I am WAY better off than I ever have been before.

I have my last study for this trial on Oct 11th and then they move me into the titration study (where they slowly increase your dosage to optimum levels).

BTW, it usually takes the body a few weels to a month to adjust to any drug. I never get the body aches anymore rarely a headache, any the nausea is decreasing.

Keep me posted on your findings. I find it fascenating to hear about other's experiences with it.

OH, one more thing, if you are "with" your signifigant other, hold onto your hat (if ya know what I mean)
