hmmm. so if the meds don’t last that long I could conceivably plan blocks of unmedicated time when I don’t have responsibilities.. then I could use that time to let my mind wander or hyperfocus whichever the case may be. I appreciate the discoveries I make when my mind wanders, and I appreciate the creative things I can accomplish when my mind hyperfocuses, it’s just that neither of these things are conducive to existing in a modern society that’s constantly making needy demands. In your case, does a strategy like that sound pheasible?
Very feasible, my doctor was very clear about the fact you can take them when necessary because there are no withdrawals at prescribed dosages.
Hopefully evening is a good focus time for you though, because they do have a possible side effect of insomnia. I don't take any after maybe 6pm for that reason.
eh. I already have insomnia. that’s just tuesday for me.
lol. get out of my brain!
