Maybe that's the problem!
Morontin to Stupimax, and I've messed up the friggin titration schedule.
I did not get instructions to only take 25 mg/day for a week.
I was told to start at 25 mg b.i.d. for a week, and I think one day I messed up and took it twice, and thus I related my side effects to 75 mg. I'm not even sure I took 75. It might only have been 50 all along. But NOBODY TOLD ME TO START AT TWENTY FIVE! NOBODY TOLD MR. FRIGGIN SIDE EFFECT TO START AT 25!

Thanks all.
Now I don't know what to do. I had made up my mind to simply ditch this sh*t. Probbly will, anyway.
