So you've established yourself as resident genius, eh? Not a bad start, if you ask me!
As for the "shoulds"---considering the source of the should is a good idea, as you suggest.
Myoclonic jerks--I get this from effexor (I also got it from Paxil). It would be both the full body jerk, like feeling you are falling all of a sudden, and also numerous random muscle flexes---muscles that I could not ever possibly flex intentionally---just suddenly jerk or twitch. For me, serzone counteracts this. I assume your myoclonus happens when you are lying down or about to fall asleep? Have you asked your pdoc about this?
The anxiety is par for the course, isn't it, when you start a new job? Plus, you have had some low moods, and I know that when I am just coming out of low moods, my anxiety is always high, because I am vigilantly on guard lest the depression return. All the moreso if you just started a job, I would guess.
I like that you are trying to tell yourself it is ok not to be super speedy at everything. Look, I think you have impressed the hell out of everyone already, I don't think speed is going to be that big of an issue, because your value to this group is very obvious.
