Psychiatric pharmaceuticals I have known and... known. 

When I started on duloxetine, the first few days saw me getting ultra-strong urges to nap through midday, even while on dextroamphetamine. (Cymbalta overpowered Adderall. Sounds like a Pokémon fight, yeah?) This faded to merely occasionally feeling like I wanted to nap the day away.

Now that I'm well into TMS, that side effect is coming back with a vengeance. Today, I'm trying to fight it off long enough to make some business-hours calls.

Psychiatric pharmaceuticals I have known and... known. 

The TMS is meant to sort out the area of the brain that's full of depression juice. My best guess, therefore, is that it's working "too well", meaning my current duloxetine regimen is now more than I actually need.

So it's good news, if annoying.
