Hey Bubba,
I took my last pill Sunday morning, too! It feels like I'm jumping off of a cliff, and not sure about the landing. Or I just left home, to make my own way in the world. Do you feel like that, too?
I've had the same success with labs at 4 weeks on, but now I feel I'm going out on my own, and all I can do is cross my fingers. So it's kinda comforting to find someone to "jump off the cliff" with.
Ready? Here we go!
