I’m in the US. I bought Olly brand Melatonin. Now that I look at it it has that and L-Theanine & Botanicals, which is chamomile, passionflower & lemon balm.

I’m so sorry what you’re going through! Cymbalta sounded familiar so I checked my meds and I take the generic of it. Why did they take you off? I’m sorry, you may have said previously. They can’t give you something else?

I take Duloxetine which is the generic of Cymbalta. Does the new one take awhile to start working, why did they switch? I read they are similar but different. And you shouldn’t be on cymbalta if you drink or have HBP (high blood pressure) I had both when it was prescribed. Again, sorry if you talked about this already, I hate to hear you’re going through withdrawals without your doctors help.
Congratulations on your 60 days Colin.
Better late than never.
Great job man!!!

There is no need to apologise, that sounds rough and 5.30 is rough too. I was up at a similar time and I am just not here yet!

Day 53 / 54 - my counter says 53.98 so by the time I get this down it’s probably day 54!
I’m so tired. I moved into my new room last night which felt really good. I now know I have a place to stay until the flat purchase completes and it doesn’t matter how long that takes as I am a paying lodger and not just relying on the goodwill of others.
For some reason that was super important to me. I’ve spent 9 weeks at my friend’s house and I was incredibly anxious about the amount I was imposing on them. They gave me a place to steady the ship, but in the end I asked too much of them and it was time to go. I spent the next two nights on my old neighbours floor in a spare room and during that time I found the place I am in now. It’s unfurnished but that allows me to buy stuff for the new flat now and spread the cost.
It also feels like I now have a corner to fight back from. I’m not sure fight back is the right term but I am a big introvert. I need somewhere to call my own in order to recharge. Between the heat and the moving it’s been physically and mentally tiring. I’m hoping that I can use the next 3 months to get myself settled, save some more money and get my life back together again.

Will wake up in the morning with 78 days. Got in a fight with my wife last night. Went to bed In a bad spot. Woke up and went golfing by myself. Feel better. We’re better also, after a day off from each other, and minimal communication. Golf can cure all and everything. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

Well done! Just wandering what physical/ mental difference you notice? I read somewhere it really takes 60 days to really notice the difference in mental clarity and 66 days to form a new habit…. Have you found this? I am on day 10, looking forward to getting where you are.

Coffee. Summer. No normal workday but half a day of de-escalation intervention methods or DIM training to attend. Don’t really feel like it but OK. I’m sober and clean. I hope I 'll learn something . And after this I’ll have two days off and it’ll still be summer.
Have as good a day as you can friends. Make it clean and sober for starters, or nothing will come of it. One day at a time. Love from my balcony.
@Cloyboy89 2 months is big Colin! Big congrats.

I’m up at 3:30am to go to the gym before work, I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea but here I go 
Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys!!!

Congratulations on 80 days!
I’m glad you’re ankle is healing. It’s hard to go back to work after time off isn’t it? I often suffer from a bit of anxiety returning to routine after it has been interrupted for whatever reason, good or bad.
Once I return always feel better. I hope you do too
