I thankfully don’t get anxiety much anymore but can confirm that there’s a huge burst of energy in the beginning that needs to be directed.

Usually just put on some music, physically shake out some of the energy, and then get to work.

Not really. Are you sure your dose isn’t too high?

No, i don't think that should really happen.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal.
