Dolls: Redux.  I’ve been overdosing on Celebrex

It’s a long story, but I had one on Celexa, an antidepressant as my olds ones were not doing it for my anymore.

After awhile I was feeling that I was getting tired a lot, however, I also had been dealing with the effects of a cold over a month.
Tired, and still depressed, I went back to talk about the meds. We decided up to twice as much. I was convinced it was not feeling well that was doing it.

My doc did give me a script for Cipralex, essentially the same drug, but less side effects, to switch to if I felt I needed to over the course of the holidays.

Over time, I just couldn’t get my mojo happening. I was so fucking tired, and I was not sick yet again with a bad cold.

It’s so hard to tell what’s what. In any case, I switched to the Cipralex. Since they were more or less the same drug, if I took 2 of the former drug, then I’d take 2 of the newer one.

Yesterday I headed back to see the doc I explained that I wasn’t depressed but I was really fucking tired, and not very hungry.

I can live with not feeling like eating, but I do like to be somewhat alert.

It was when Doc wrote out the script and said, “So you want 20 mgs then?”

“No I’ve been taking two….”

Doc puts down his pen and replies, “You’re only supposed to take 20, 30 mgs top. I guess you didn’t get the information insert that warns against taking 40mg.”
With a clownish face and big-eyed expression I shrugged my shoulders, “Well I’m still here. I’ve been talking them like that for about two weeks. No wonder I feel so fucking tired!”

Now I can add what not to do when you have a cold:

1) Buy a website template way beyond your capabilities and customize it.

2) Do the above mentioned when in addition to being sick, but also overdosing on anti-depressants.
