Great that you are feeling better as my friend Wildcat mentions.
I told you that you would start to feel better, and it's only week 2 imagine week 4 and so on.
You were constant, no matter what, and in my book that makes you a winner... keep going!!!

Hi, Why!
It's good that you're feeling so much better... the medication is obviously starting to work.
Many people experience what we call the "roller coaster effect" where things are going well and then some other side effects pop up or recur. It's not uncommon and should resolve fairly quickly.
You should let your doctor know though as it's important for them to be aware of your progress and any problems you're having.
Take care!
