Medication Chronicles: Part.. ?

Med­ica­tion isn’t work­ing as well as it has in the past. See­ing the doc tonight about super-sizing my dosage. Not ter­ri­bly excited about it because I’ve been blessed with hav­ing very min­i­mal side-effects and I worry that this will ruin that.

I’ve been pretty agi­tated for sev­eral weeks now. Got pissed off dur­ing an incon­se­quen­tial spat with the wife a cou­ple weeks ago and punched a wall that was stronger, older, and smarter than I am. Hand is still stiff, but I don’t think I broke any­thing. I feel stu­pid and embar­rassed for let­ting myself get to that point. Prob­a­bly the worst part of punch­ing that wall has been every moment since when I reflect on how bad I could have poten­tially hurt my hand. For a brief moment all of my pri­or­i­ties went out the win­dow. I could have really fucked up my hand and I am for­tu­nate that I just hurt my pinky fin­ger (on the right hand, which I don’t at all need to play bass).

  • Some­times you need an adjust­ment. I adjusted on my first SSRI for over a year.

  • Doc con­firmed that I did not break any­thing in my hand, which is a relief. Dou­bled my cur­rent dosage and, much like when I started tak­ing meds, I am feel­ing bet­ter within 4 hours. We’ll see how it goes for now.

  • I fig­ured some­thing was up since you weren’t post­ing. I hope they can adjust the meds in a way that brings you (and Kim) peace.
