better living through chemicals
I've been sick this week. I even used two of my precious sick days from work to lie around at home, taking flu meds, drinking tea, reading, and playing video games. I made it to work today, finally.
My doctor is now weaning me off my current mind altering drug. She said that since I was only taking 75mg it should not be a problem ... the problems happen when you stop taking the drug after being on 300mg a day, like some of her other patients.
300mg a day! Oh my God. Those people must be living life in a non stop hallucination. Either that, or I'm more sensitive to the drug than other people.
Anyhow, she said I could either swing by and get a lower dosage, or take one every other day, or just stop and see how I feel, and if it gets bad, take one.
So far, I feel like Jerry again, and that feels pretty damn good. It feels like coming back from a surreal vacation that you're glad is over. Next week I'll be in her office talking about the next drug on the list. I'm a bit nervous about it, but hey, this is exploration. I'm searching for better living through chemicals.
