2nd day on armodafinil.
Sleep: 2:30-6:30. Up 1 hr. Tried to sleep at 7:40 but probably wasn't asleep til at least 8am. Up again at 10:10am. So total of about 6hrs. Even though it wasn't making me feel wakeful, I felt that the armo was interfering with my ability to nod off despite being tired.
Last evening and night, I occasionally felt the urge to poo briefly but it quickly departed. This morning at 6:30 I finally pooed, though a rather small amount. I'm assuming this is an effect of armodafinil, but then in the early afternoon, I had a very normal poo (med volume). For no reason, when I wiped later in the day because of a feeling of irritation, there was a little blood. When eliminating, I didn't feel as though anything was being irritated.
My doctor (and all the info I see online) says that it's not appropriate to take psychiatric meds in a less than daily and long term fashion. I think they need to be more open-minded and flexible.
Today I took a whole pill at about 10:30. My stomach was gurgley in the early afternoon before needing to crap.
No wooziness today as there was yesterday afternoon. It may have helped a little in terms of focus and alertness but it didn't last beyond the afternoon. Filling out the excel sheet of symptoms was very onerous and took hours, which is ridiculous.
I'm having some weird time sensations. I think it was the first psych drug I took that made me feel like time was speeding up. This one seems to be slowing everything down. It seems like the days go on forever. I woke up today feeling like I'd worked a whole week already, Like yesterday was multiple days. Weird.
