It doesn&rsquo;t feel like I need to avoid or prepare for it, though it is possible to resolve poorly, past that I&rsquo;m not really sure, I just can&rsquo;t fully relax in Readiness for it.</p><p>For three, I tire easier. I can go to bed after just 7 hours awake, I pretty much have to after 13, and I can sleep for up to 15 hours at a stretch </p><p>Honestly any or all of these might just be the effect of caffeine withdrawal and this being my rest week for creatine.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I am <b>not</b> mentally grounded rn and it&rsquo;s become like <i>antidepressant</i> levels of difficult to orgasm. I was sleepy like this too on Lexapro that one time, wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if there was some overlap in the mechanism.</p><p>Not sure if this betokens some new change or it&rsquo;s just the thing that replaced my hypomanias or what. Guess we&rsquo;ll see.</p>"}
