To bring everyone up to speed. See prior (dmjr) posts. My doctor recommended that I increase two units at a time and I got myself up to 16 units. As I did the 16 units each day, I slowly started to think my brain was going to explode. With the increase over about 3 or 4 weeks, I started to work more, going to less AA meetings and thought it was stress that was causing that. It was an extreme manic feeling that I had a difficult time coming down from so before I was scheduled to see my doctor, I went back down to about 10 units and instantly felt better. I also increased my meetings and started feeling better spiritually as well. Thinking back on it, I think I was in a dangerous place. I called my doctor and he seemed bewildered as to my symptoms but he agreed for me to step it down. My next post will have the positive effects that I've noticed and do like. By the way, I'm down to 5 units and like the overall gains from this dosage instead of following the higher regimen recommended by my doctor.
