Day two

Well, this is my second day on Wellbutrin and I have to say I don’t really see a difference. So anyway.

I took Zeke down to the park this morning. And it was full of crazy hummingbirds. They were swooping and yelling at Zeke as he walked past. It was funny.

There are kitties in the park, too. They live there. Zeke sniffs around the bushes where they sleep, and they see him and they get all puffy.

You know, I really like kitties. They’re fuzzy. I wish I could have a kitty.

Squirrels are fuzzy too, and there was this one squirrel who came down the tree trunk to just above Zeke’s head, and Zeke didn’t even notice!! OMGLOL!!

Trees are our friends, you know.

Trees are cool.

=v= Sounds like the grizzly threat has been replaced with trees.  Better living through chemistry, yay!

God! Finally! What an improvement!

OMG!!  LOL!! U R 2 KEWL!! DRGS R AWSM!

Seriously, glad they’re working.

Give it about a week.

Heretofore I have usually seen irony applied with a 00 brush. Watching it laid on with a spackling trowel is new, but interesting.

HA HA HA HA HA!  Puffy.  Funny.

Sarcasm is a sign of not having lost your edge, right?  :)

Sarcasm?

Perhaps I’m too easily amused.  I keep coming back to re-read this, and I laugh out loud every time.  Thanks.

The “OMGLOL” gets me every time.

You won’t notice anything from the Wellbutrin for a couple of weeks, it takes a while for it to make a real difference.

I think you’re experiencing the miracle of the placebo effect. The stuff is supposed to take a week or two before you notice anything.

First thing I noticed was the seizures. They were kind of fascinating.

(Not that I’m saying you’ll have seizures, don’t get paranoid.)

(Not that I’m saying that if you get paranoid it will make you have seizures — its not acid, its not like you can have a bad trip.)

(but then… are there placebo effect seizures?)

(oh never mind. I’m tired.)

But seriously the ROFLCOPTER is killing me.

If you want a kitty, you should get a kitty.

Hey, why am I the only person taking this post seriously?

the OMGLOL is pretty good!  but seriously, give it some time. 

and [assuming you were taking the tested path of not lying too much in your writing] — get a kitten.  kittens don’t bother older dogs, usually, if they are gently introduced. we foster kittens for a rescue organization, and our babies spend time with our dogs, so they’ll be comfortable in multi-species households.

Hi Chris, I hope you’re doing okay with your shiny new pillz!  I’ve been taking bupropion for depression for several years now.  Here’s what I can tell you that might be helpful: the side effects happen well before you experience the full therapeutic effect (which kicks in gradually over the first month or so), but if you stick with it, the side-effects (feeling like you just hoovered a fat line or two) pretty much go away after a couple of months.  I’m sad to say that bupropion didn’t make me skinny, but it did help with libido, and has pretty much been an excellent anti-depressant.  I don’t know much about ADD, but I do know that impaired memory and concentration were major symptoms of my depression, and so I’ve seen great improvement in those areas.  As for your concerns (stated in the post below) about creativity and your writing, I can only tell you that everything that actually sucks will continue to suck after you have all these extra neurotransmitters laying around.  I was afraid of taking “happy pills” for a long, long time, but my depression became so severe that I didn’t really have a choice in the end.  I’m pleased to report that antidepressants do not, in fact, make one happy.  Merely able to get out of bed on a more-or-less regular basis. 

Best of luck to you!

Zeke would be thrilled with a cat of any age. He has kitty friends throughout the neighborhood: the ones that are either too clever or too stupid to run from him.

It’s Becky that’s keeping me from having a cat. She’s horribly allergic. However, live with Becky and without a cat is far preferable to live with a cat and without Becky, so I’ll manage.

What about a ferret? Sort of dog-like and cat-like all around. And slinky, too. And mischievous enough to really do some numbers on your drug-induced hallucinations…

No more pets for us, for a while. We need to be pet-free for a few years.

And here I was, all ready to go off on a hypochondriac tangent, with the paramedics standing by and my friend with a shot of epinephrine to jam through your breastbone if needed...but here you are, happily reminiscing about kitties! lol Well, glad to know that everything is going fine!
