Hi Carina,
I'm trying to stay calm and reduce as much stimulation as possible.
I'm going to wait a little longer before deciding whether I need another very small dose increase.
I took a nap this afternoon, which really helped. My perception feels a bit clearer now, and my anxiety has eased.
The lack of energy this morning was really tough.

Keeping things low stress definitely helps. I have a hard time handling anything stressful or too stimulating as well. You're not alone.
I think giving yourself a bit more time is wise.
You gave your body exactly what it needed, so I'm glad you got some rest.
