So I did a little research, something one should do with every new
medicine prescribed by the doctor, and discovered some fascinating stuff
about it that might make my breaking down every day a little more plausible.
This is it, side effects on the:
Central Nervous System
Reversible mental depression progressing to catatonia; an acute
reversible syndrome characterized by disorientation for time and place,
short-term memory loss, emotional lability, slightly clouded sensorium,
and decreased performance on neuropsychometrics.
In layman’s terms, this is why I have been feeling stupid. Actually,
it’s funny because it was a sneaking suspicion that this was the
medicine but I had no proof until now.
So, now what?
Well, I definitely don’t want to be depressed, fat, forgetful, and
sexually deficient, which basically comprise what most of the
side-effects are. I might give it until Friday and see if my body can
get used to it. And better yet, if the lack of focus can be controlled
in any way.
I just went to go eat at J’s restaurant, and I was shocked at my
ability to actually sit there and call up tears without even
concentrating on it too much. I realize that if this is what people who
go through depression feel, forget it, do all the drugs you want.
I just refuse to be a participant of any anti-depressant experiment.

That sounds like some scary medication they have you on. What is it supposed to do to help you, again? I’m sorry about all the side effects 🙁 ….that definitely sucks…
