It is not enough to just wake up, not enough to pinch a forearm hard to believe.
I do believe that winter holds its own sort of stillness and simplicity–when all you are doing is trying to stay warm and keep heat. The world can trickle down into maintaining the act of shiver. Sure, there […]
News story on Paxil Addiction:
found testimonies that I can relate to..all too well.
the following post is from a Paxil forum, posted in 2000:
Well, I made it. It has been nearly a year now, and I have survived. To date, I have managed to get 6 other people off that damned pill or one of it’s […]
The great-painful part of frostbite—when the bends and limbs start coming back to life.
The side effects are very very close to being over, if they are not already gone completely. On my walk from the bus to my work building in the mornings I can feel myself actually reacting to things and sounds around […]
I was getting laughed at the other day, while talking about my childhood panic attacks. Others found the oddity of triggers to be amusing, I guess. I had one during the summer between third and fourth grade, while staring at the ceiling fan. The fan was on a lackadaisical speed–not too fast, not too slow, […]

I am on week 5 of the official bon voyage to Paxil, due to schedule a doctor’s appointment within the next few weeks. May I just go on the record here as saying this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. This is part of the anti-depressant experience. Technically, I should still be sailing […]
Last night I took the final dose of Paxil.
Finally, officially, I’m done.
I’m going to a new doctor on Tuesday for what I like to call a “tune up,” aka a yearly physical and whatnot. Plus I’m getting off Paxil. I can’t do this anymore. I’m not who I am while on this medication and it’s been a long time coming. I had to do some confirming […]
Although each of these SSRI manufacturers admit they do not know how their respective drugs work, each claim that they help to correct a “chemical imbalance of the brain.” The assumption for each of these drugs is that if a person is depressed (each and every depressed person), there is a reduced level of the […]
This day has been one helluva roller coaster. My relationship is ending. My dad’s girlfriend is losing her father. Got to see Bob Log III at the Warhol. Found out I’m being audited.
Oh, joy.
I just finished packing for Ohio–going home for the weekend to see the family.
I feel like every […]
