After another good week I've took another dip in form: low mood, low energy, foggy mind, hard to think and focus on studies).

This dip doesn't seem as bad as the last one which is a good sign. I'm 4 months in and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the ups & downs at this point?

Have any of you stabalised over a long peroid of time? 

Thanks,

Rossy

      It will get better in the next week, everyone is different, I cut out all caffeine and I don't drink anymore either, bit I do smoke cigarettes a lot, when I shouldn't do that either. Do you take your meds at same time each day?

      Perfectly normal around 4 months, it's a rollercoaster ride, I'm six months in and still having a few ups and downs but it's nothing like before, only last a few hours, then pick up again.
