[QUOTE="Supraman, post: 77913, member: 15534"] Ya Dr. Saya, its still so impressive I can't be thankful enough to you and Dr. Calkins. Its too good to be true for me. Unlike ANY other presciption med I have tried for anxiety or sleep or depression, this continues to work and not lose ANY effectiveness/build tolerance. And whats awesome is I feel the same when I wake up as when I do during the day just like I initially said. Thats a first for me, and I have spent 3 years of my life trying out new drugs for my symptoms prescribed by a psychiatrist. Like seriously I could be one of those people you see on an info-mercial and myself even normally would be like ya ok bs you got that good of results. I am one to say that all the time and I make tons of fun of commercials. OHHH. Ok so one night in the beginning of starting treatment like the first week, I slept the entire night through without even waking up to go to the bathroom!!!! I am normally a minimum 4 times per night, thats not including waking up to roll over on avg. 3 times per night!!!!!.... So I woke up and was ready to charge the day feeling like a million bucks on 5:30 hours of sleep!!!!!! I even told my family, we were on vacation for a couple days, and they couldnt believe it but were so happy for me. I was so happy for me too. I can't remember if Ive ever slept a night without waking up to go to the bathroom or even waking up period! Im talking not since I even have memory of life. lol!!!

I bet I will feel better as I continue treatment since I have only been on treatment for about 4 full weeks almost. Again, I would like to stress, Dr. Calkins knows what the heck he is doing!
