Thanks A Lot, Eve

I mentioned in an earlier post that my meds appeared to be sputtering for some unknown disturbing reason. After realizing that I was starting my last week of birth control, I hit up Google for a search on "luteal phase" (the fancy schmancy term for the time between ovulation and menses) and depression and found this website, among others, that pretty much confirmed my suspicion that the luteal phase was responsible for the decrease in effectiveness of my meds.

I've been roughly following the diet listed at that site along with diligently taking my multivitamins (with the addition of multiple fish oil capsules) with improved, albeit spotty, results. My next phase of attack would be to either split the Adderall dose from one 60mg dose in the morning to a 45am-15 late am dose, or separate the Adderall dose from the Effexor. Whatever works.

The Eve blame is a reference to the punishment she got for the apple business. I'm convinced that whole "multiply your pain in childbirth" clause covered a lot more than the actual labor part. But that's just me.
