somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine

how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this

you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story

does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief

comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it

coming back to this i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it

the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal

the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them

is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect

The withdrawal arm. This is the trial to read before you plan to stop.

update from 20 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it, i could be wrong

the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely

how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back

nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it

how did people get through a long plateau without giving up entirely
