Frustrated- beginning of 4th month
This weekend I had some emotional break downs. I succumbed to feeling ok and getting lazy with action.
For a while I was feeling optimistic with only 2 months to go, past the 1/2 way mark! But this weekend I was like, "How can I do this for another 2 months?"
I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of condoms. I'm tired of my skin hurting, and not wanting to shower. And why am I having pimples now, when I didn't earlier in the treatment.

Hi Renee,
Just wanted to let you know that I am in the middle of the 4th month and have been having pretty regular emotional breakdowns. I am going to ask my doctor to lower my dosage when I go in next.
I was on 40 for the first month, and 60 ever since, and looking back I can see how my mental state has gotten progressively worse since the 3rd month or so!
I can't take the emotional fragility anymore and am going to lower the dose and see if that helps. I'm sorry you're having emotional side effects too, but glad to know I'm not 'crazy' and this is happening to others too. Be careful with your mental state.
Hope you feel better!

Sorry to hear your feeling blue!
Obviously don't ignore any major metal problems, but power through on feeling blue. Don't feel bad about feeling bad! You can do it! How much longer?
