Drug & ISLAND Withdraw.

It seems we have hit the ground running since we have been back. I committed numerous typos yesterday, forgot attachments, ran into walls, and lost my train of thought on several occasions. Days like that really annoy me, but in hindsight I have to laugh, right? As long as those flubs do not result in major consequences.

In addition, I have been withdrawing from my night medicine. This medicine slows my brain down so that I can sleep. My body gets tired enough but in contrast my brain likes marathons! Despite the wonderful benefit of this medicine, the time has come to get off. I’m afraid withdraw is not being especially kind.

It could be worse, and yes, I’m weaning, not going off cold turkey. The nights I do not take the medicine make the next day a little off, and that day is today. I have tremors. It makes me feel out of control and I don’t like that. Still I know this trial is temporary. This will end. Oh- I also get little sleep the nights I don’t take the medicine, so I’m a bit tired today. Hopefully, this too will end, or at least improve some.

Ponn Sabra wrote a really great post about withdraw and drug dependence. I encourage you to check it out when you get a chance.

In the meantime, I’d appreciate any prayers that I would have as little side effects as possible, and even better, that I would not even feel lack of the medicine when I sleep at night. That I wouldn’t feel a need for it and would sleep!

Thanks friends.
