pharmaceutical diaries two


If nostalgia itself could be pressed into the grooves of a four-minute record, this is what it would sound like.

As for me, I've noticed that I do seem to be a little more tired after taking my Fluoxetine in the morning. But again, that could just be because I rarely sleep straight through all of the night.

No strangely weepy episodes, though feelings of empathy for Britney Spears are probably a bad sign of something wrong somewhere.

Questions for me to think about as I am better able to determine about which effects are real and which a "placebo effect" : Will taking these pills quiet my mind, and if it does, is that a bad thing?

Sobering quotation to remember: When the writer Alice Sheldon was asked about taking antidepressants, she said (this is approximate, remembered from a bio of her I skimmed recently):

"I want something to make me happy, and I fear (these pills) will only make me better able to endure misery."

PS: And I was just kidding about the sexual dysfunction...as far as I know.
