[QUOTE=addbec]When you take a day off from meds, do you have to deal with the side effects all over again when you start them back up? Like headaches, insomnia, etc? That is what I'm afraid of. [/QUOTE]

I'm not having any side effects, just effects.
I'm down to Sundays only being med free. Saturdays are the busiest day of the week for me almost always I like to get things done it is such a joy to have two days off and be free I don't like to slow or waste any of it. When you take a day off from meds, do you have to deal with the side effects all over again when you start them back up? Like headaches, insomnia, etc? That is what I'm afraid of.

I think I may have a good point too but I don't know I don't understand people at all and it seems my world is spinning out of control all around me (as usual) so watch out believing any of MY ideas.

<bitterness>
I was going through my day yesterday, a normal day when I was forced to hurry at my job to get done and hurry through stuff at home and generally feeling the world and my part in it was spinning out of control. Had a flat tire too. Grrrrrrrr!

OK. I was really working fast with long-term determination and speed that was almost beyond my ability pre medication.

A phrase I read on a message board came to mind - "the meds made me feel like a zombie" or something like that and I think floof said it or something like him :-) (not sure)

Anyway, I started thinking I was working with zombie like dedication for me.

Bells rang. Maybe what I, maybe we, feel is zombielike is what is for others, NORMAL!!!!!!!!
ya know..... you probably have a good point....

heh at least on weekends we can stop taking meds and be UN-zombied..... when I look at people around me as 'human doings', I kinda pity them..... I live my life... they do their life...
I am just taking the Clarocet once a day. I figure by late afternoon if I am hyper so be it..by then most of the bulk of my work is done. On occasion I just can't get it done and need another one..but weekends I take only 1.
