Rule66,the kind of "sleepy" I had was that withdrawal type sleepy.Ive put myself through wd so many times over the last 6 yrs I am so sensitive to even the earliest sihns.I watched Dr Junigs video on youtube about the ceiling effect.Also around that time I was craving more and I dont want to do that.The 2mg increase made all the difference.I went all day and had no feelings of extreme grogginess.Now I am above the ceiling so when the levels dip in my blood I will not feel withdrawal or cravings because I took enough to keep me above the ceiling until my next dose.If I go a few days on 10 and it levels out and I get that feeling again,I will go up to 12 which seems to be the "average" maintenence dose.So far I am so happy with this med and happy when Im on it.I feel really good,no depression,anger,obsessive thoughts etc and my motivation is coming back.Cant wait for kids to go back to school so I can go back to the gym and tear my house apart to clean it.Before I couldnt even do laundry without a pill,no pills-all I did was lay around and sleep all day,had a fever for days,hot- cold,goosebumps,insomnia,wicked cravings,diarrhea and the list goes on.Just feel so relieved theres no more pill counting,checking calender to see if I will have enough for certain things I had to do,falling asleep at work,having obsessive thoughts about how,where,when to get next fix and drumming up elaborate stories to tell the Dr etc…What a relief!
