Rx days 4 & 5

So. I missed my day yesterday, but the update was minimal anyway. I learned that I probably shouldn't drink caffeine thirty minutes before taking my pill, because together they don't feel like I am too energized, but in that dip between things taking effect/wearing off, I feel like I just woke up. Sluggish, weak, and having trouble concentrating. I rode it out and about 40 minutes after I took my pill it started to wear off, which I was very grateful for.

I don't know if it's something that is an actual effect, or if it was just happenstance, so I will have to experiment a little more, probably on my weekends and not on the days I go to work. Until then, I think I'll just keep my coffee for when I get to work, because having a cup about half an hour after taking my pill is fine, as long as I'm not chugging.

Today, I think either my body is getting used to the elevated dopamine levels, or I'm just tired after a week of work, but I got a little tired in the afternoon. Most of the time I would either have to be gulping lukewarm coffee or slamming back a Rockstar to reach functional levels again, but all I needed was some lightweight coffee --70 mgs-- and I felt fine. Still do.

And speaking of my work week, while I always look forward to the weekend, I don't feel quite as dog-ass tired as I usually do. It wasn't as hectic or stressful (mentally), but perhaps it wasn't as hectic or stressful in reality? I'm not sure.

I'm excited --excited? well maybe not-- to see how my weekend functions. Don't really have the right word for that.
