The weekend went relatively smooth other than being much more fatigued that usual and dizzy towards the second half of the day. I up'd my Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules in the pm from 1 to 2. So I am now taking 2 in the morning, and 2 at noon (or at least five hours after first dose). It's seemed to help. On Saturday night I was dizzy later in the day and took 1 omega with my third dose of Neuro Endure which cleared up my dizziness within 15 minutes or so. 

On Sunday, I awoke to very vivid dreams. It's a withdrawal symptom but one that I don't really mind too much. I seemed to be unable to wake though. I was very drowsy and in mid-sleep no matter how many times an alarm sounded. I had set one for 8am, but continued too sleepy to cognitively make the decision to get up until about 11:30am. This may not sound too late for some of you, but I wake at 4:45am during the week, 8am IS sleeping in for me, 11:30am is out of the ordinary. 

I'm still struggling with mental clarity and alertness every day until about 6pm. I will either get home and pass out for the remainder of the evening (at about 4:30pm) or I will feel much more myself in the evening, and very awake at about my bedtime. Not sure why this is, hopefully the brain fog clears up soon!
