Last night was the first time in a month when I had a full night of sleep. Now I've been waking up at 8AM instead of going to bed at 2 PM. Don't have a lot of people to share with but I'm not sure how to describe how I feel. It's like the absence of a headache I didn't know I had. My body feels much lighter and energetic. Hopefully I'll get back to cooking for myself this week!

This being said I remember starting mine the first week 20+ years ago I felt the same. Right off within the first week I noticed changes in my body and it was good. I know how it feels to take them and to not take them. Taking them is better.

Taking them is definitely better, and if they don't work for you, you have to step down gradually. And I am happy for OP regardless of whether it is the antidepressant, better sleep or whatever.
