Going to try to go down to 1.25 today. We will see how that works. Will probably alternate back and forth between 1.25 and 1.5 for a few days. Might try to alternate between 1 and 1.25.

I have noticed that the drops seem very arbitrary. Basically, I have no idea how bad they will be. For me, 2.0 to 1.75 was very difficult. But 1.75 to 1.50 was pretty easy. Who knows.

I feel like my testosterone is really coming back, I have never been a test fueled type of guy, but I have been a bit of a horndog lately. I also am "feeling" my emotions a little more, good ones and bad ones. Seroquel is down to 25 milligrams.

I have been feeling restless legs more frequently. Pretty weird stuff. I walk my dog daily which helps, but I think I am going to have to get on the elliptical (I told you guys I was/am a big fitness buff, I even waste my money like one!) before bed.

I found the low drops to be really arbitrary too. Actually, super arbitrary. It isn’t like the higher doses, where you maybe feel it for a few days and then it’s basically okay. However, at least for me, just because one drop was super tough didn’t mean the next one was. 1.25 to 1 totally sucked and then going to .75 was pretty painless. Very weird! Cutting in half from 1/8 to 1/16 wasn’t tough either, and that is 50%.

You’re being reasonable and diligent, though, and it will work in the end. Aren’t you impressed with yourself? Very Happy

The only good thing about RLS is that it goes away. Very Happy Very Happy
