It's Oh So Quiet

 I started on the meds today, because, yeah. 

As somebody who's a little reticent to take pharmaceuticals, I fell into this one easily, partly because of friends taking the drug with great success, and partly because I didn't go on this journey to not take medical advice. 

I'm on the lowest dose. Other instructions included taking it with breakfast, don't even bother with it after 10 am - you'll never sleep, don't take it with vitamin C, or orange juice. And to see how I go.

I feel like Neo in The Matrix. Only the pill is white. And about the size of a pinger. And don't ask me why I know what a pinger looks like. 

Regardless, I look the pill and got to work. 

And HOLY SHIT. 

After about an hour, the static around my brain, the thing I was complaining most about, the noise that's been a constant with me for years, had dialed right down. My brain was quiet. 

I was not expecting that. 

Wow. 

And there's going to be some adjustment as the dose gets right and my body learns to tolerate the small about of speed (I mean, they give you amphetamines - meth - whatever you want to call it - just in small, prescribed doses).

The only things I need to do with this is remember to eat as this takes away your appetite and monitor my blood pressure. The latter is a concern, as I can feel that it's gone up. I'm hoping it will settle. If not, no dope for me. 

But it is amazing just how quiet my head has been today. 

This is the result I was looking for.
