ESIS #1: Pre-study commentary
I'm going to begin something I'm calling the "excess serotonin intake study" (ESIS) tonight. I wanted to begin on Sunday, but every time a Sunday rolls around I always end up forgetting or putting it off. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to sacrifice neatness for getting the damn thing started, so it'll run from Thursday 3/30 to Wednesday 4/12.
I've been dragging my feet because I'm kind of nervous about the whole thing. This is technically not medically sound (so obligatory /do not do what I'm about to do/ for legal and safety reasons), and if I messed up my math then either this session is going to end too quickly or I could end up poisoning myself a little. Still, I made sure that every dose is well below the fatal limit for someone of my age/size/metabolism.
Actually, I'm more worried that I'll forget somehow right near the end of the study and fuck up my results. The longer I wait to write my dreams down in the morning, the less accurate it might end up- and there's every chance I could just forget to take the fluoxetine. Hell, the whole stash of it I have is from the days I forgot to take it in the morning.
As expected, I absolutely forgot to continue this about 4 days in. And then I lost the login to my account and had to replace my computer due to some keyboard damage. This is the only notes I recorded.
Doing a self survey is a bit hard. I'm going to have to ask around to see if anyone else can help me put together a more controlled experiment.
