4am~ I wish normal people got up at 4am on Saturday

So, here I am , I woke up at 3Am, which is actually a blessing to get 4-5 hours sleep. Now its 4am, and all that is on the television are infomercials, not that I want to focus on TV anyway. My husband and daughter will sleep another 4 hours. When I was on Subs I craved alone time, its funny how things change. I remember on subs that I would just sit and stare in to space and I was OKAY with that! I like to zone out as much as the next person and Im a daydreamer, but that was ridiculous! Its like telling my husband" Can you leave for a few hours so I can sit here like a vegetable and stare into space?" I would like to know from anyone who has quit, some of the side effects yall were having, Ill tell you mine and we can compare( these were at the end of my usage) : fighting sleep constantly during the day, dizziness most of the time, extremely low pressure, like 99/56 (sub dr, said DONT Worry, if u pass out Ill put u on bp meds!!!!) ever morning I woke up with numb wrists and hands(I have carpal tunnel but that hasn't happened b4 subs), I was always hot and sweaty feeling, my anxiety would get worse at night if I took it in the afternoon. AND Ive always had clear good skin, it is one of the things people comment on, the last yr I was on subs I looked like a teenager going through puberty, but guess what? 12 days in and my face is almost totally clear again. Someone that's reading this post is going to wonder why I put up with all this nonsense, but I think we all know the answer to that. Just want to add that Music has always been a big part of my life and Im starting to listen to it and feel it again, so much I cry sometimes, Next step create some art. Have a beautiful day everyone, Comments always welcome. kinda bored and its still dark.  MUCH LOVE Carrie

Hi Carrie,
You still up and bored? I am. My doctor just changed my meds and I'm not sure if it's better or worse. If you're awake and want to exchange a couple notes, I could use it : )
