Did you take your meds today?

[MLA]

I always take my meds.  When I don't take them bad things happen.

What kind of things?

On my medication, I am a happy functioning, intelligent person with some barely noticable Asperger traits.  Without the drugs I am a nervy, volatile paranoid with withdrawal psychosis and I "suffer" from Aspergers.

I admit that this is not exactly "bad" on a cosmic scale, but it is certainly uncomfortable from my perspective.

Sounds like fun.  What exactly are you taking?  Sounds like antidepressant withdrawal.  That stuff is worse than crack.

yes

A mix of Propranolol (Beta-blocker) and Notriptyline (2nd gen SSRI anti-depressant).  The withdrawal is worse than when I gave up smoking 20 a day cold turkey.  But the change they have made to my life is such that I don't ever want to go back to the undrugged version of myself.  He was an asshole.  I never want to meet him again.

P.S.  For those in the know.... Yes.  I do get the fun side effect of nortriptyline.

Propranolol was once considered for me but I can't take it because I have asthma. So benztropine it is.

That is cool that you have found the right meds for you.

Had to look up Nortriptyline. Wikipedia says it's a second-generation tricyclic antidepressant, not an SSRI.

What's the "fun" side effect?

My doc called me to update after the results from the blood panel.

I was a bit worried as to the outcomes but no trouble with pancreas, liver, thyroid, all elemental nutrients are perfect, testosterone is a bit high considering my age, but nothing to worry about. Only troubling area was that my cholesterol has flipped from mostly the good kind to too much of the bad kind.

He put me on Lypitor to help control serum cholesterol levels, and gave me something for leg cramps.

Adding these two to the mix makes six medications I am supposed to take. Seven if I include the daily aspirin dose. Some I take in the morning, some at night, one only on an empty stomach.

 

Yes, I took my morning regimen, which also includes a handful of vitamins, which I take on my own. Doc knows and says that they "won't hurt."

It takes you longer to get to the top of the hill, but when you do the view is wonderful.

Is this about enlarged testicles.

No, now I am really confused.

You should see your doctor about that.

I was thinking about you getting some help with the confusion.


Rooms come with views, meds may come with hallucinations.
