I've been taking 10 mg regularly twice a day for several months now, and have had fairly consistent results. I would skip a weekend now and again, and the low dose helps just enough.
However, recently, the peak and crash has been amplified. During the peak of the medication, I start to feel a little hazy and almost stoned, even though I usually do not feel this way. Side effects (jaw clenching, facial muscle tension, headaches, very irritable) appeared that were not there before, as the medication wears off. I've also been feeling really nauseous, and even stomach pains.
The only changes I can think of are that its the summer, so I have only been taking it every other day, for class and work. I also wait to take it until the afternoon , whereas before I have taken it in the late morning.
I have not changed my diet. I have started doing yoga and pilates, but that is only for two hours total a week. Any thoughts? :confused:
