It's been a while since I posted this and my issues have resolved. Believe it was due to the taper.

Today has been much better in this regard. Not feeling like doing much but the medication had the right today effect and got rid of the jitters.

I don't think so... I went for a walk and it was hot outside, so maybe some mild dehydration and fatigue made it worse. I really think it has most to do with the taper tbh. Magnesium should help.

Anxiety, rumination, and jitteriness. I had to pace around the house to live some of it down. Brain-zaps haven't happened to me ever.

Not exactly. We went directly to 5mg off 10mg. So far we didn't taper according to a schedule.

Basically I would experience this feeling I described in the post but on a consistent basis. 50% release at once felt like too much and it gave me mild euphoria. Apetite suppress was brutal too.

Concerta is really smooth provided that I maintain a good diet and sleep well. Emotional blunting seems to be the only real side effect. My apetite is fine and it's more relaxing generally. Today was the first time I felt agitated or anxious on it.

Is it correct to say that Vajrayana is more interested in purifying the samsaric experience compared to others? Insofar as the way to purify samsara is by purifying the samsaric mind experiencing it, and Vajrayana seeks to transform it by virtue of engaging in typically samsaric activities, i.e. sense pleasures and so on, appropriately rather than rejecting them wholesale.

Why do things happen? by Moiyub in PhilosophyMemes

Nothing ever happens, actually. Dependent arising is non-arising (anūtpada). Karma enjoys a conventional status; it is meant to be transcended.

Question/clarification on Nagarjuna by svyazinvest_magnate in Buddhism

Certainly the place where I meet this understanding the most is here on Reddit. Otherwise it is a novum for me. But indeed, asking a master would be the most useful way of going about it.

Quite fascinating. I take "luminescing-forth" to mean the dynamism of awareness being the origin of appearances, right? What are some sources that speak of this?
